We have an article, Victa lawn mower. A COI editor recentrly started the article about the company which prodiced Victa lawn mower. The company is likely not notable, and currently there is only one reliable source in the article. Since everything happening on top of a redirect, with many reversals and recreations, we need to determine whether the article is notable. A redirect with a simultaneous protection is also a possible option. Ymblanter (talk) 07:33, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as this is all simply trivial and unconvincing PR information, none of it forms actual substance and certainly none of it substantiates a convincing article, and there's certainly not independent notability from the other article. SwisterTwister   talk  08:09, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd argue that the existing lawn mower article be folded into a Victa article. I do think the company is a notable topic, given the signature product it produces. But as the current article stands, it requires more third party references. -- Whats new?(talk) 08:17, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment ridiculously famous brand in Australia at least. I'd be surprised if we really had nothing to write an article from - David Gerard (talk) 10:06, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge both articles to Victa As pointed out, Victa is a famous brand in Australia. Lawn mowers are the most well known product made by Victa - they even featured in the opening of the 2000 Olympic games - but the company has expanded its product line and continues to be a big seller. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 13:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge Victa lawn mower into this title. There's a reasonable stub of an article there that talks as much about the company as the product. I think it's reasonable to have one article, written from neutral point of view, about the company and its products. (Given the relative condition of the articles, I'd favor a history merge to take place, since Victa lawn mower has an extensive history. —C.Fred (talk) 15:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge both articles to Victa Appears to be a notable brand. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 02:01, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge both to this title per above - David Gerard (talk) 11:28, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
