Lucy Furnace

It's a furnace. Coverage does not appear to meet WP:GNG. A loose necktie (talk) 05:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Please review article after substantial work has been done on this article since nomination. It was probably a bad move to tag it for an AFD an hour or so after it was created. We generally allow more time for content creators to develop articles before considering deletion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:20, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: Aw man, I just started this article as a stub late last night, so let's not judge it on its current state. I think this site is important in the history of Pittsburgh, steelmaking, and the Carnegie brothers (Andrew Carnegie, Thomas M. Carnegie). A significant amount has been written about Lucy and its rivalry with the Isabella furnace. For example see the entire chapter "A Rivalry of Great Furnaces" (starts here) in The Inside History of the Carnegie Steel Company: A Romance of Millions. (Bridge, James Howard. New York: The Aldine Book Company, 1903.). &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 23:24, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the article significantly, with a number of references. There's a lot more that can be extracted from the chapter I linked above. Aside from the notability conferred by the references, consider that this is the first furnace Andrew Carnegie built, and that it held several records for production. Please take another look :) &mdash;  brighterorange  (talk) 04:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep adequate sourcing to prove GNG applies. And enough content to avoid a merge. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:37, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep, I didn't think a furnace could be particularly notable, but I have seen enough reports and articles on newspapers.com to convince me that it indeed was notable. I think a WP:BEFORE search could have been a little more exhaustive prior to nom in this instance. Bungle (talk • contribs) 06:26, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
