 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep This is not a dictionary definition as there is no lexical content. And links are not a reason to delete the whole thing.  I have rewritten the article to make it clearer.  Please see WP:BEFORE. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is part of a liberal conspiracy, which advocates trees over uncultivated land. 80.186.217.254 (talk) 07:24, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep While I am certainly not against trees, this does read like a dictionary definition of the device.

My apologies, while reading revisions, ended on original article, not current editted version, current does not read like a dictionary definition. please excuse error AlgebraT (talk) 03:53, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A quick google of root training pots turned up 472,000 results maybe broaden the article from this one type pot to the different types available on the market. Blackash   have a chat  13:46, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article defines root trainers and then goes on to explain how they work so I wouldn't call it a dictdef. Perhaps a move to Root training is warranted because a quick google search shows that there is more than one way to train a root. But I'll leave that to the article writers. --RegentsPark (talk) 13:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge Merge useful infos and redirect to Root pruning container. Article is more about root pruning and the effects than root training. Slowart (talk) 15:31, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Undecided but inclined to merge three articles at least. In australia we have Tubestock as well- these are grown in small containers called 'tubes' which have ridges along the pot walls for guiding roots. There is a similarity of concept with both that and Root pruning container as well. I am musing on a good generic name though. I am also hapy to keep for the time being to see how the articles develop and figure out scope. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:46, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
