I can find references for this (I found a couple of news articles already), but it's admittedly pretty slight. Merge with Burglar alarm? Allens (talk) 04:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm thinking that this would be perfect to merge into either pull string or bell pull since it's rather similar to both of them. It effectively serves as a bell pull for all practical purposes, to be honest. You pull it, the alarm rings in another room, and a nurse answers. As its own article? I'm not sure if it really warrants an article to itself, however.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:46, 12 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
I'd think before pulling the plug on this article it might be helpful to look at some of the (presumably extant?) guidelines from various well-recognized "authorities" such as Joint Commission that led to these things being put in (and that presumably laid out their rationale and expense justification.) I am not in a position personally to presently access (I'm traveling) this suggested RS material. FeatherPluma (talk) 04:50, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Tinton didn't say way it should be deleted (see WP:NOREASON). --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, although it is perfect for a merge with Panic button... I also note that Tinton5 is actually the one who created the article? Perhaps Tinton5 can clarify this? Will drop a message at Tinton5's talk page...

Merge elsewhere: Not enough material here for it's own article. Merge to bell pull as suggested above. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 21:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I found a better one: Panic button. Just put in a mention of fixed-location ones with a pull switch plus that a monitoring location need not be remote. Just include "see also" or other links to pull string and bell pull. The reference someone has helpfully found can be moved also. Allens (talk) 21:33, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: take a look at the article's history. Tinton5 wrote in the first edit summary that he created the article as a test, thus qualifying the article for speedy deletion per CSD G2 (in addition to G7 by nominating his own article). So normally I'd say speedy delete, but a merge actually does seem appropriate here. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 23:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
