 * keep - I have attempted to address the two issues flagged on the article. Regarding the general issue of howto content in knot articles: it has generally been kept in check by keeping the tone as descriptive as possible and only including a single or most basic tying method. (see WP:KNOTS)    When objections have come up before, appeals to WP:IAR, with the caveat that editors need to follow the guidelines mentioned above, have always been sufficient.  But getting back to specifics on this article, since there are several types of diamond knot, it probably makes sense to move this article to one of the (many) alt names for this particular knot and make the current article a RWP.   Should I wait until this discussion has concluded to propose that on the article's talk page?  Thanks. --Dfred (talk) 02:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a notable and legitimate type of knot, useful as a decorative stopper knot. Could perhaps be merged into carrick bend, on which it is based, but shouldn't be deleted. Because the topology of a knot is a necessary part of its description, a "how-to-tie" section is necessary in knot articles. Therefore I agree with Dfred that this is a perfect case for WP:IAR.
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2011 November 17.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  19:14, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - it has an entry in the definitive Ashley Book of Knots, then its Notable. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 22:09, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Well documented in books about knots such as this. -- Whpq (talk) 17:32, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
