Athalite
Previous nom. No one voted except nominator (me), so I'm reposting this. -R. fiend 02:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC) Capitalistroadster 08:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No possibility of expanding to an encyclopedic article—unless the creator wants to divulge the proprietary, patented formula :) BrainyBroad 02:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom.  Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk   05:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment have a look at Review: A 'Cold' Soldering Iron. Fg2 07:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Appears to be new notable material if this MSNBC article is any guide see . The product seems to have been widely advertised according to the article although there are only 700 Google pages for Athalite see
 * Comment I'm not convinced it's that notable. I see only 70 Googles (not 700) and some are wiki mirrors.   is one of them and it's sceptical -  thinks that is just two-pieces of carbon that short-circuit. Since we're dealing with a commercial product which has an advertising budget dedicated to getting it coverage I'd err on the side of caution and delete.  If it's really notable it will appear from third parties.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  14:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. See my comments in previous AfD. -- Rune Welsh | &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; | Esperanza  10:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to be notable enough for a stub at least. -- Foofy 13:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I'm not really sure. Abstain. -- Foofy 13:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment- perhaps it could be merged into an article on soldering? Does it fit in any of those? - Dandelions 18:54, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. This is a coined, purportedly Trademarked, name (i.e, a neologism) for a component or material used in a nn commercial product. Nothing verifiable about this component or material is known, except that it is not, contrary to the current text of the article, patented (at least in the US).  Arguably,the founder of the company who does have two patents and two pending patent applications relative to cordless soldering irons is notable, and maybe the company itself, but NOT this neologism--FRS 21:33, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
