Borderline CSD G11 — possibly spam for a non-notable product, created and largely authored by a single-purpose account. Psychonaut (talk) 11:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Article does not establish notability, with only one story from a reliable source primarily about the subject. And that's in the paper local to the manufacturer. The other sources are either primary, OR (the UL listing), or passing mentions. I searched for more coverage and found mostly blogs and product reviews. I do not believe the subject is notable.

Keep and welcome the newcomer. There is evidence of notability. Give the user a chance. Maybe even try helping her. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Multiple editors on the article, making the SPA charge largely irrelevant now. C. Crane Offers New Energy-Saving LED Light Bulb Powerful Enough to Replace Common Halogen Type MR16 Bulbs.Published: November 17, 2009 got printed in the New York Times, no it is likely that the product is indeed notable.

That's not a NYT story, it's a press release reprinted in the NYT. Rees11 (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I said nothing to the contrary. Moreover, the NYT prints few press releases at all, so the fact is the NYT regarded it as notable. Collect (talk) 21:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I am seeing some critical coverage of this subject, ie [1] so given that it's not all press release material out there I think this article should remain. JBsupreme (talk) 19:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to LED lamp LED lamps as replacements for incandescent and CFL are undoubtedly notable, but I see no evidence this one manufacturer warrants coverage separate from that article. I42 (talk) 20:30, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to LED lamp. One printed press release from the vendor and one Boston.com article do not seem sufficient evidence of notability to justify a stand-alone article. A niche product which has not apparently achieved a large sales volume and has not had much independent press coverage. Edison (talk) 22:44, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to LED lamp, although I would prefer a dedicated article to LED light bulb (why "lamp"?). LED light bulbs may be an important change in our lighting culture as we move toward greater energy efficiency; that change is notable, since one can find many articles on the subject. I was just looking for information on what the status of these bulbs were, with an eye to buying a couple of them. Wikipedia is lacking in information, alas. This article reads more like a company catalog, but that said, it is unique in telling me that the geobulb exists and is one of the viable options to the ordinary light bulb; there are others, e.g. pharox (http://www.mypharox.com), but there are not many. How would one choose between them? What are their features? So I say merge for now, but I ask for an article on the LED light bulb. Bdushaw (talk) 02:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to give two links: nytimes on pharox, los angeles times on pharox - both refer to the generic problem of replacing the incandescent, as well as the compact florescent, light bulbs with a more energy efficient option. The geobulb is in the same category, it looks like. Bdushaw (talk) 10:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
