I disagree with this deletion nomination. While the article needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view, it is important to explain just what exactly a 'scottoiler'/automatic chain lubrication system is (and how it works). Booksacool1 (talk) 13:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I assume this is a keep vote? In any case, automatic chain lubrication can be integrated into Roller chain, especially if there are reliable sources to back it up. tedder (talk) 00:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

hi, i just learned about this system by someone who is riding around the world on a mc. i never knew about this invention, and i think its fairly unknown outside of the uk. i think this is a valuable article and its principle of operation deserves to be rewritten more neutrally. at the core of it, i dont see how the spirit of this article differs substantially (except in style but not intent) from the ipod article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.11.227 (talk) 01:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There are thousands of mainstream news articles about the iPod. Books have been published about the iPod.  Dissertations have been written.  Not just user info or technology guides; articles on the social meaning and the economic and political meaning of the iPod.  Scottoiler is nothing at all like that.  It shows up here and there in "new and cool" products sections of a few motorcycle magazines, with a short blurb which is usually a paraphrase of the company's own press release.  This is the only exception, and it isn't much; they tested their free product sample for a short time rather than just use the press release.--Dbratland (talk) 04:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge into Roller chain which could use some content about automatic lubrication systems. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:12, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete as non-notable product per dbratland. If there's anything to be salvaged, Merge it over like Colonel Warden suggests. tedder (talk) 00:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
