Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LED cover

The result was merge to Light-emitting diode. Consensus is clearly against keeping, but rounding to merge since there's enough agreement that there might be useful material to merge and/or the eventual redirect might be appropriate. Obviously consensus at the destination is free to determine how much material, if any, should be integrated, and WP:RFD can be used to delete this as a useless redirect if nothing comes of it. slakr \ talk / 02:40, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

LED cover

Article previously nominated for Speedy Deletion due to Advertising, edits were made to remove the specific advertising but I am unconvinced as to the utility of the remainder. Most of the text relates specifically to the product the article was advertising for, and I do not feel that the article meets notability requirements. At best, perhaps a line could be added under the Safety and Health section of Light-emitting_diode denoting that products have been created to address some of the health concerns raised by LEDs.

 * Delete/merge - per nom. I don't think this topic has gained notability on its own and can be adequately covered on the light-emitting diode article. —Мандичка YO 😜 22:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete The health concerns section seems like selective bunk; a bright LED is more an annoyance during sleep than any kind of health hazard unless you decide to look at it directly for hours on end. These products basically do the same thing a $1 roll of electrical tape can do and are more a sleep product than a commodity that needs an article at this time.

 * Redirect to LED.  CookieMonster755   (talk)   07:10, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: notability, anyone? The references are articles that say LEDs can damage the retina. I have doubts about their reliability but even if those were papers in Nature acclaimed by the science community and the general press alike, it does not grant notability to alleviating measures such as LED covers. Redirecting to LED is cheap, but frankly I am not a fan of redirecting from a specific, non-notable to general, notable unless there is a suitable subsection (you would not redirect "ice at -12°C" to ice, right?).

 * Delete - Refs don't mention LED covers. Only sources I can find are unreliable promotional pieces or catalog entries for LightDims:, ~Kvng (talk) 14:30, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge - I will gladly do it if no one else volunteers. There is some good information in the article, but does not need to stand alone outside of the LED article. --TTTommy111 (talk) 05:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
