 * Keep. Sources exist. The concept is sound, once you think of it, complementing design for manufacturability. For example, the Google search yields academic article "Design for inspection of concrete bridges", for just one. The article itself does not have to be merely a how-to guide; it can/should give history of the concept and survey where it is most applicable, etc....a matter of editing not cause for deletion. -- do ncr  am  10:32, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Amendments to the page have been made and I hope these are acceptable. The Design for Inspection is a consideration at the design stage that is commonly overlooked and represents significant cost implications for industry and one that is important to highlight. Please let me know if further amendments are required. Regards Carl — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carl Hitchens (talk • contribs) 20:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Is not traditionally part of DFx, and the intro needs rewriting, but DFI has papers written about it and makes sense from an engineering perspective. Jergling (talk) 22:06, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Design For Inspection is a concept within manufacturing engineering that should be considered concurrently with design for manufacture or design for x, this allows a suitable measurement plan to be created to ensure the product conformity but also highlights features and tolerances that will be difficult or impossible to measure. Within engineering if there is something you can't measure to the specification then you can't manufacture it as there is no way to confirm conformance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel McMahon 86 (talk • contribs) 16:14, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
