Fiber rope

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Topic not independent of Rope see also [this] afd. To explain further, the type of fibre a rope is made from certainly effects the performance of the rope, but does not in fact make it something other than rope!!.

Would we have an article for "Red rope" and another for Blue? What about "Floating rope" and "Sinking rope" ? Roxy, the Prod . wooF 00:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Appears to be a duplication of Rope, and not notable separate to it. FOARP (talk) 16:17, 12 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Fibre rope is commonly contrasted with wire rope, which is significantly different. For example, see the Handbook of Fibre Rope Technology  – a book of 432 pages – or Advantages of Fiber Rope Over Wire Rope – a respectable paper.  Note also that we have numerous articles about particular types of rope including arithmetic rope, bolt rope, dynamic rope, fixed rope, kernmantle rope,  Manila rope,  natural rope,  skipping rope, static rope, tight rope, &c.  The nominator will be especially interested to note that there's even a dog rope!  Their vision that we should delete everything but rope seems too simplistic and, per WP:NOTPAPER and WP:PRESERVE, we should retain all these various strands as we weave them into our web of knowledge.

 * I dislike Andrew's way of interacting with other editors, and pretending to know more about seemingly everything that happens to show up at AFD than he actually does, as much as the next guy, and for all I know (I haven't looked into it, nor do I intend to) the above comment may be more of the same, but you're just giving him and his friends mud to throw with comments like the above. I implore you to strike it as it's only going to make dealing with the problems in play here more difficult. Hijiri 88 ( 聖やや ) 09:22, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that due to the artificial behaviour constraints here, editors are reluctant to point out shitty behaviour, and consequently Davidson thinks he's immune from criticism. He isn't. Roxy, the Prod . wooF 16:48, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Arguments of Andrew D seem sound. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:22, 15 November 2018 (UTC).
 * Comment. Is there such a thing as non-fibre rope? -Roxy, the Prod . wooF 12:06, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
