Light switch/delete

Virgin mobile ringtones Light switch was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletionKiss Kristin Template:Vfd top/. '''This page is no longer live.''' Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP

non-encyclopedic. My summary would be: a light switch is a switch used to turn on and off a light. Trivial, sub-stub, not expandable (newbie test?). Also, dictionary definition. (Has only one link other than dead end pages.) Tracfone ringtones RJFJR/RJFJR 17:25, 19 Dec 2004

*'''Keep''' Non-expandable? I can't see why Gotta Love Lucky Japanese toilets could be expanded and this one can't. Crazy frog ringtone Grue/Grue 18:00, 19 Dec 2004
*'''Delete''', inaccurate stub. Let someone else try another time. Play With Paris Wyss/Wyss 18:23, 19 Dec 2004
*'''Delete''': Cricket ringtones DCEdwards1966/DCEdwards1966 21:34, Dec 19, 2004
*'''Delete''': It doesn't do any harm to delete it, does it? If somebody somehow has something encyclopedic to say on "light switches", deleting this doesn't stop them from writing the article. Keeani BM/BM 21:58, 19 Dec 2004
*'''Keep''' This can easily be expanded. LG ringtones Ld/Ld 22:13, 19 Dec 2004
*'''Keep''' some expansion has already taken place. Hopefully someone will add an illustration of the contacts etc. Naughty Lani Kappa/Kappa 22:34, 19 Dec 2004
*'''Keep''' and request cleanup/expansion. More expandibility: Novelty light switch plates are a notable aspect of American Cingular Ringtones kitsch alleviate in folk art; the article could introduce this. Besides standard switches, it could explain how dimmers work, and light switches where you tug a string. and faludi Samaritan/Samaritan 23:22, 19 Dec 2004
*'''Keep''' and, hopefully, expand. division captures Dan100/Dan100 00:01, Dec 20, 2004
*'''Keep'''. I remember reading an interesting "How Things Work" article when I was a child about light switches; this is easily within the bounds of encyclopedic knowledge. the farcically LostLeviathan/LostLeviathan 00:08, 20 Dec 2004
*'''Keep''', looks like a good start to me. took themselves ShaneKing/Shane King 00:13, Dec 20, 2004
*'''Keep''' and expand. instantaneously belied Dbenbenn/Dbenbenn 01:50, 20 Dec 2004
*'''Keep.''' Poor article with reasonable potential for expansion. Lots of room for historical discussion. How toggle switches work... how mercury switches were popular because of their silent operation but are now considered dangerous because of the mercury in them... home light switch styles. In the USA light switches are on in the upward position and off in the downward position, but in England in the late 1950s the reverse was true; what's the case today? How many companies manufacture light switches? It seems as if Levitan has a huge share of the market... hand usually Dpbsmith/from disturbing User:Dpbsmith/Dpbsmith attack trading User_talk:dpbsmith/(talk) 03:09, 20 Dec 2004

* Comment/question: is the standard procedure for this material to be copied to the article's talk page at the end of the vote? Because there are some good comments here for improving the article that I'd hate to be lost.RJFJR/RJFJR 03:35, Dec 23, 2004

*'''Keep''' - I have examples of light switches of several styles and vintages in my flat. I know nothing about how they came to be, but I expect someone does.Pcpcpc/Philip 03:17, 24 Dec 2004
