No evidence of WP:GNG in the article. BEFORE is not helpful. (there are some mentions in passing, but they just confirm the use of the device, I can't find anyt indication of its significance - claims that's it is an important part of technological or military history, etc.). This piece of equipment exists (existed) but WP:NOTACATALOGUE of minor equipment parts. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:23, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, there is some coverage in primary sources, which would probably be seen as reliable enough to be used to expand the article.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] There is also some secondary coverage.^[6]^[7]

Right, but primary sources are weak when it comes to estabilishing notability. If all we have are military manuals and such, well... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:38, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How would you assess the two secondary sources? SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 20:00, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: A piece of military technology having military manuals that reference it is: 1) not significant coverage, 2) is original research/primary sourcing, 3) not independent from the subject. Delete. Macktheknifeau (talk) 14:25, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial/routine coverage that doesn't confer notability. Macktheknifeau (talk) 07:15, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I also cannot find any significant coverage in secondary sources. I can't access the newspaper article given by SailingInABathTub, but only one secondary source isn't enough. (The House committee report counts a primary source IMO, as it was produced by the U.S. government). Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:11, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/merge as per nomination. Merging would be preferable if a suitable target could be found, which unfortunately I have been unable to do so far. MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:00, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
