Fire pit

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article should be merged into a more appropriate article, like bonfire or simple fire. Homotlfqa83 (talk) 03:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, lets delete this whole this altogether then. I change my nomination to straight up deletel. Homotlfqa83 (talk) 03:16, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep; this is not the place to merge articles. If you would like this to be merged, add the template at the top of the page.
 * Keep notable, and not the same as a bonfire--historical significance. JJL (talk) 03:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I can pull references for this if necessary, but I'll cheerfully throw an IKNOWIT argument out here - I've built these a few times, they are often permanent structures and are distinct from fireplaces. I can work on better sourcing if necessary Thursday, but there's plenty to work with here. Townlake (talk) 03:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is no rationale for deletion in the nomination. These exist, they are certainly notable as a class of structure, and sources could easily be found. --Dhartung | Talk 03:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is clearly an encyclopedic topic that can be adequately sourced, if it isn't already. Suggest we speedy keep this under WP:SNOW. Reyk  YO!  05:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge: I thought 'firepit' meant 'barbecue' - and it does! merge! --Carbonrodney (talk) 07:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep notable; barbecue is a range of styles for cooking meats, a barbecue is also similar to a cookout, historically fire pits have existed to keep fires contained and to serve as social gathering points, I would think that barbecue might fit in to a fire pit article describing one off shoot from fire pits but they are not at all synonomous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andy.W.Ellis (talk • contribs) 11:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment for other disruptive nominations by this same nominator, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America wherein I observed that they act just like banned user User:Wiki brah, recently editing as User:JeanLatore. Maybe the closing admin can look into this, since WP:SSP seems to be dysfunctionally backlogged lately.... Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * User has been indef blocked for being a sock of Wiki_brah. Speedy Keep as disruptive nomination seems appropriate. Townlake (talk) 16:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ...except Carbonrodney has opined for a merge, so SK criteria not met. Retract with apologies. Townlake (talk) 16:46, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Even a brief read of the article outlines clear differences between a fire pit and a barbeque. And unless I'm very much mistaken, barbeques haven't been around for such a long time. It's part of Wiki-Project Archaeology - not Wiki-Project Outdoor Cooked Meat. Is there such a project? Oldandfat (talk) 10:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This one seems like a no-brainer. A  ni  Mate  22:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
