Jewell water filter

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be just one of many hundreds or proprietary water filter systems developed. Such proprietary systems were very common in the late 19th and early 20th century. There is nothing about this one that suggests notability, even if some of the claims made were backed up by good sources. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 16:38, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - as creator - I am ok with this being merged into Sand filter but I think Jewell filter's were quite well-known - I found one in operation in a town nearby and this led me to create the article. It is apparently standard knowledge for all civil engineers in India - also see the hits for "Jewell water filter" and "Jewell filter" - interestingly the main Google site provides little of relevance to naive searchers which was an extra motivation for me to create the article.

 * Keep as someone interested in water filtration (I happen to live near a large park used for this purpose) I think anything from 1900 and earlier that is still functioning for this purpose is fascinating. The old pump systems near me in the Netherlands are considered provincial monuments, and they are from the 1920s. If a NYC company won significant commissions in India while under British rule, then that is notable, and such an article can be used as background for any articles about individual installations, especially if they made significant improvements to municipal health (as such installations did in the Netherlands).

 * Keep It already looks to satisfy GNG with more than two references. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:26, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep More than satisfies WP:GNG with a number of reliably sourced references. As notability is not temporary per WP:NTEMP, the fact that the system is from the late 19th and early 20th centuries is not relevant to a deletion discussion. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 19:52, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
