I'm not sure if this meets the GNG, not independent sources of value, just some pictures and website picture. No indication of why this should be separate from Parker Pens. The old AFD was kept, but the arguments given were poor: amount of Google results is meaningless, and not one reliable source was given to keep the article. There has been a merge tag on the article since December, so either delete or merge. Mat ty. 007 13:20, 23 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge to Parker Pens. This is a well-known line of especially fountain pens, among fountain pen enthusiasts. There is a piece in the New York Times that discusses the US political significance of the Parker Vector pen. There exist sources such as Parker Vector, and Parker Vector 1981-Present, which being among said fountain pen enthusiasts, I consider reliable, but they may not be up to WP:GNG standards. Nonetheless, basic facts about these pens are verifiable and per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD, merging of verifiable content is preferred to deletion. --Mark viking (talk) 20:28, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to Parker Pen Company. Fails WP:GNG on its own. The page for Parker Pen Company already features information on products akin to this page, so merging should be able to occur rather seamlessly. HOT WUK (talk) 16:54, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
