- The original article made no mention of patents. That came about as a consequence of someone nominating the article for deletion in 2012. The person contesting deletion sourced the article to a patent. This was not the best of choices. I cannot find any good sources addressing this. Uncle G (talk) 17:53, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- so, is that a delete or keep or neither? I just searched and there's no credible third party reference to three stroke/variable stroke. Graywalls (talk) 01:19, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- You should have done such a search first, note. And checked the edit history. That's the correct order to do this. Per Project:deletion policy we don't delete things for being patented, but we do delete them if no-one can turn up any good sources documenting the subject in depth. Rationales not based upon putting the necessary work in, do not help towards making that determination. Uncle G (talk) 12:48, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
