Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jewelry tuning

This is practically nothing. It's less than a sub-stub. The only use of the term I could find is in wikimirrors. It's pointless, and just barely avoids being a speedy. DS 19:51, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete. Dictdef, possible neologism...I think the usual term is "adjustment".   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 23:51, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence is provided that this is a standard term. I don't believe it is. No relevant Google hits on the exact phrase. I also tried searching on jeweller tuning and jeweler tuning to see whether I would get any websites of jewellers offering tuning services. Nothing; the most interesting hits I got were a page about a 1919 radio receiver, "An interesting set designed to minimize the operations necessary in tuning is the Jeweler's Time Receiving Set of the Chicago Radio Laboratory, shown below" and a passage in a Tobias Smollett novel, The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom, in which a man "had the pleasure of finding her disengaged, the jeweller being occupied among his workmen" and "squeezed her fair hand, on pretence of tuning her harpsichord."

 * Delete: probably "turning," doesn't matter, though: dictdef and false. Geogre 14:00, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
