Beekeeping helmet

 * — (View AfD)

Incorrect name for what I believe is called a hood. Material is already covered more thouroughly in beekeeper article. Currently nothing more than a dic def. Creator of this article nominated Welding helmet for deletion. Mgm|(talk) 12:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Beekeeping which has a section dedicated to equipment used by beekeepers. This article will never need to exist in its own right. Budgiekiller 13:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Redirecting would be misleading because of the article's faulty name. We'd be better of creating a redirect at Beekeeping suit. - Mgm|(talk) 13:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - fair enough. Then I change my vote to Merge and delete, if there's anything worth salvaging from the page.  Budgiekiller 13:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep in one form or another. Even if the illustration is more helpful than the text, this is a stub that begins at the beginning.  No opinion on what the proper name for this equipment is; move it to the established one. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * We already have it in one form at Beekeeping, as pointed out above. Uncle G 20:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to (new article) Beekeeping protective clothing (or similar - perhaps Beekeepers' Pr..). No such thing as a beekeeping helmet, but the article can act as a starting point for a more comprehensive article (which the wiki needs :)).  I think that, at this stage, an article on the single part of equipment (the hood/veil) as separate from the rest is pointless. M a rtinp23 14:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * My personal experience says that the name is faulty, too. The sources, such as Charles A. Saunders, this catalogue of beekeeping supplies, and Goodman and Riordan, say otherwise.  I say go with the sources rather than my personal experience.  &#9786;  However, it is more commonly called a "beekeeping hat and veil".  Research confirms that, too.   There's nothing here that isn't at Beekeeping, not even the picture, and no indication that a break-out Summary style article is yet required for that section. Redirect to Beekeeping, as I was about to do. Uncle G 20:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced article with a defective title and almost no content. Adds nothing to Beekeeping. Edison 20:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Beekeeping, per Uncle G's sources showing that the title is worth keeping, but the article is not. AubreyEllenShomo 22:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I checked some beekeeping supply websites, and the term "Beekeeping helmet" doesn't appear to be a term used in the industry. From what I gather, protective clothing they wear consists of a "bee suit", along with a sun helment, and a "bee veil."   I don't think a redirect for this term is necessary.
