Power Metal Strip

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable product information. Google returns links to manufacturer and resellers. Solitary Gnews hit returns a PR containing "Power-Metal-Strip®". Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 09:31, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, unless sources can be found that identify this as a product notably different from other makes of electrical shunts. It might possibly deserve a mention at Vishay Intertechnology, the manufacturer's article, but not its own article.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  14:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I have included the patent reference for this technology, patents are not given for products, they are given for technical innovations (Lindseyrose 12:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindseyrose (talk • contribs)
 * A patent reference is helpful, but it has long been held on Wikipedia that patents by themselves do not establish notability. Patents are not that difficult to obtain (if you can afford the process) and many entirely unnoteworthy inventions have them.  What is needed to establish notability (in the Wikipedia meaning) are non-trivial discussions of the invention from reliable sources independent of the subject of the article.
