Elastic coupling

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Hopelessly confused article. This used to be a poorly-named and poorly-translated(?) article on the all-metal Geislinger coupling. It's now a vague duplication of elastomeric gear and Oldham couplings. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:13, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to Coupling . -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Which parts are accurate enough to merge? The problem now is that the article is a partial duplicate of two different articles, and the two strands are intermingled so that there's no clear statement that could be extracted for a useful merge. Anything this article says that could be used within coupling is already within coupling. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Geislinger coupling. Sorry, I didn't review Geislinger coupling. Right, no need to merge because info is already there. In fact, the 2 articles are clearly the same, so IMHO, this should have been redirected without the AfD process. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 15:14, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Geislinger coupling per P199. Buggie111 (talk) 09:39, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * If this is to be redirected, I'd suggest Coupling as the target. Geislinger couplings are weird and quite specialised, most elastic couplings are the simpler elastomers instead. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:00, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * True, but the info of this article matches the content of Geislinger coupling much closer. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 22:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
