Insertion machine

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This is a dictionary definition that does not sufficiently explain the application. Borderline no context, but does not seem to cross the line in my opinion. --  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 07:32, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Context-free definition. So badly written that it's not wholly clear what it's about. AlexTiefling (talk) 08:42, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The term can be used to describe either the electronics/PCB machines mentioned in the article or a wide range of other machines for inserting leaflets in newspapers, labels in CD packs, stickers in food packets, plugs in tubes, and more. As to whether any of this is notable, I've not yet found evidence. --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:45, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep (or maybe move?) I found some academic papers discussing them in an electronics context (see article), but I'm not absolutely sure if this is the right page title (maybe "IC insertion machine" or similar). --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:00, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

 *  Keep  - I agree with Colapeninsula that this may need a better article title. This book has some signifcant material covering machine insertion of components for printed circuit boards. Not familiar with this topic but I suspect there is more available. -- Whpq (talk) 20:55, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to SMT placement equipment. Thanks to Grandmartin11 for pointing out the existing article. -- Whpq (talk) 10:10, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   05:50, 25 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect - We already have an article about this kind of machinery at SMT placement equipment. Grandmartin11 (talk) 20:25, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect – makes the most sense, given SMT placement equipment. There are other kinds of insertion machines, which this article does not mention (letter inserters, for example).Marikafragen (talk) 02:31, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
