Hair tongs alarm

Not a notable entity 1 2. PROD declined. Pontificalibus (talk) 20:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I found zero sources for this. Joe Chill (talk) 22:08, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Can't find any RS, none supplied by article contributors either. The key claim is that these can keep me from using a curling iron that is too cool and risk "potentially life-threatening hair damage"? O...kay. "Many students choose the hair tongs alarm as a project option for electronics GCSE." That seals it...WP:NFT/WP:NEO non-notable school project. DMacks (talk) 08:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a joke article. Certainly not notable enough for an individual article. Polargeo (talk) 08:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to hair iron if this kind of alarm exists. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:16, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The traffic stats for the article suggest that nobody searched for 'hair tongs alarm' before it was created, so a completely implausible redirect. It does exist as one of 96 suggested electronics projects for a GCSE school course (just in a long list with no description) but I don't think this makes it notable enough to be worth merging this content to 'hair iron'.

 * Wikipedia has no article on hair tongs alarms, and anyone wishing to discover what they do will now be able to use wikipedia to find about them. I think that this article is a valuable part of Wikipedia, it shows that Wikipedia is not only concerned with interesting knowledge, but knowledge in general. By deleting this page Wikipedia may lose credibility as a knowledge database, and this case shows that even the smallest things can make big differences on a wider ethical scale.(Hair tongs alarm fan (talk) 08:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)) --Preceding comment copied from talk page by Thryduulf (talk) 20:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete – I smell either madeup stuff or an otherwise hoax. MuZemike 16:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see any notability to this, and how can hair damage be life threatening? Also note that hair tongs doesn't exist. &mdash;Crazytales (talk)  05:03, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
