The result was   no consensus. The "merge" suggestion seems promising, however, and should be the subject of further discussion. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 02:57, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Very well known and widely reviewed manufacturer of hi-fi speakers. What Hi=Fi etc. might not jump out of a Google search but the first page of GNews hits included The Age with "From the UK come the famed Gale loudpseakers, renowned for their classic sound qualities of smooth midrange and upper-end detail". There's a What Hi-Fi review here. Should probably be moved to Gale Limited.--Michig (talk) 06:27, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. It is also well beyond the purview of WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:08, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Not generally considered to be a convincing argument when stacked up against "couldn't find any significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources". -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   22:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment This is one of those annoying cases where old products that people remember from yesteryear get wiped via an AfD because nobody could go in a time machine to document them in reliable web sources. There's a product description here, but as Richer Sounds (apparently) own Gale, that's a primary source. Your google-fu may fare better with a search for "gale silver monitor" -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   22:21, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with parent company Audio Partnership. There's not much coverage of Gale that I can find: and from Google Books "Hi-fi News & Record Review: Volume 24, Issues 1-6" (text not available), although most of the hifi magazines don't publish online so there's almost certainly more out there. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:17, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * delete Pretty well-known UK manufacturer of high-end hi-fi loudspeakers. If you can't find sources, then your search-fu is clearly weak.
 * Still, delete per WP:JUNK. If even their PR people couldn't be bothered doing a halfway-decent job, why should we bother? Andy Dingley (talk) 00:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
