Orbiter (camera seat)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Since creation in 2008, article has suffered from two problems: its similarity to a product brochure (see this early version from 2008), and its utter lack of sourcing. Even after I found a cite today to replace a tag, there are still only two refs, both from the maker's website.

Page is about a product (or product line): swivel seats for video camera operators. Seems quite non-notable, as I can not find that anyone has written about the product(s) or even the company. My WP:BEFORE has lasted many days, and I haven't found even a single review. All I have found about the Orbiter seat is from either the Orbiter.tv site (manufacturer) or a company called Finepoint, which rents out camera equipment including these babies.

I would have given up earlier, but my searches are confounded by the multitude of space vehicles (many camera-equipped), lighting equipment and actual cameras with the name (be it brand or common term) "orbiter". Ultimately, it appears that this is just some product, you know? Fails WP:N as far as I can see. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 11:39, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
