*Delete This is generally called a Courting bench or tête-à-tête. We could redirect to the former, but this is unsourced. If there was more to this article, I'd suggest a merge but there's nothing worth moving and what's there isn't sourced. Would anyone actually search for the term "confident chair"? These are also called s-chairs or s-sofas, which are more sensible redirects. Unless someone can come along with an authoritative source using this name for this chair, there's no reason to have this article.  freshacconci  talk talk  21:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't WP:VERIFY that this name is actually used for this type of furniture. Pburka (talk) 20:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep the new version, and rename appropriately. BTW, I've added the old picture (of a tête-à-tête) to the Courting bench article. Pburka (talk) 00:09, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You're being misled by an incorrect picture. Uncle G (talk) 22:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Ironically, had the article's creator had a better grasp of English, xe would have used the correct French name for this article of furniture. This, in turn, would have led people to discover that Britannica has an article on this.  If it's good enough for Britannica to have an article, it's good enough for us.  Keep. Uncle G (talk) 22:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. Now I got it. Googling "confident + chair" came up with results, none of which were relevant. And yes, the photo gave me the impression the article was about a different chair. Thanks for the clarification.  freshacconci  talk talk  23:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * question&mdash; what is it in the britannica under? i just checked the 1911 to no avail, but would like to check the current edition, because i'd really like to be able to say keep to this one (not saying it quite yet, though). &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 22:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Change to keep per Uncle G's clarification and article improvement. An entirely different piece of furniture.  freshacconci  talk talk  23:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * keep&mdash; sorry to be dumb, i didn't even think to look at the article again. nice work.  &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 23:19, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
