Hand Grenade Oil Lamps
Definitely not the speedy it was tagged as, and talk page indicates good-faith attempt. Not sure if a redirect to a generic oil lamp is appropriate or if this belongs elsewhere or what, so AfD can do its research-thang. -Splash talk 03:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Regardless of whether this type of oil lamp is all the rage or not, this article reads as advertising copy.  The least that it needs is a POV rewrite.  However, what seems to be at stake is whether this type of oil lamp is significant and discussed by other media.  So far as I can tell preliminarily, it's just a particular product and not, say, the hand-crank shortwave radio or the recycled tire playground paving. Geogre 03:27, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I did a google search on hand grenade oil lamps, and it returned only 38 hits. That makes it somewhat non-notable.  Whilst this is a valid product, I don't think that it is (yet) notable enough in its own right.  Therefore I suggest a Merge with oil lamps and keep the content. 203.122.225.241 13:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge into hand grenade (not into oil lamp). The controversy is notable enough for inclusion.  (We probably should have an article on converted weapons and/or weapon replicas, but we don't.  Toy weapon is not quite appropriate for this, and replica is just a dicdef.)  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 01:41, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge to oil lamps. KillerChihuahua 16:08, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Just Delete. Making a lamp out of XXXX is not unique. --Calton | Talk 23:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
