There is/was no such product on the market that I can find, no evidence of a patent application being filed by child murderer Ian Huntley, no evidence of a granted patent in that name, and no ref for the supposed quotation from the 'Chairman of the British Cleaning Council'. The only cite is to a book about the case - it is extremely doubtful that a 'British invention' of such supposed weight would have escaped the attention of the media, as the man is a well-known child killer. The only references to Huntley and this invention route back to the WP article on a vacuum company; editors repeatedly removed this content from the Huntley article and the Numatic article, so the editor appears to have made a new page for these paragraphs Little grape (talk) 21:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. We can lump good ol' Google into the list of resources that fail to say a single thing about this (except on mirror sites or copy-pastes from Wikipedia), which is a rather lazy addition, but important in my opinion. Besides that, if this "information" couldn't stand up in other articles, it certainly isn't apt to on its own. - Vianello (Talk) 00:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I believe it's actually "Dustatic 101" with a space in between the main name and the number. But there aren't any reliable sources covering this product that was never made. -- Whpq (talk) 18:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete an invention of sorts thats not really ever been sold or manufactured outside inventors workbench, thats based on very well known principle of electrostatic dust collection. I do not find a reason why this would be encyclopedia-worthy. I would say the patent office documents document this for the generations to come well enough, but not notable invention or product for wikipedia. Casimirpo (talk) 18:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Seems to me this is another person, Ian Michael Huntley being inventor with 3 cleaning-related patents to be found in the GB esp@cenet of EPO patent database search service. Ian Kevin Huntley mentioned in the Sohan murders -related article has 0 hits in the same database. Casimirpo (talk) 18:52, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
