References don't support the text, which is not encyclopaedic. Not notable Rathfelder (talk) 21:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've little doubt that the topic itself is notable under guidelines and that the subheading under Security#Home_security is wholly insufficient. But this article isn't extensive, neutral, well-cited, or even informative; Wikipedia:Blow_it_up_and_start_over. This should probably go over to Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation once this article is gone. It's a topic that could be written extensively upon.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 22:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Someone needs to WP:BLOWITUP and re-write this page from scratch, but this is clearly a notable topic that deserves an article. A google search turns up many relevent sources, including this article, this article, this book, and this book, just to name a few. If there were no sources about this subject, then I would recommend merging this article with security alarm, but there are more than enough reliable sources on this topic. Furthermore, Wikipedia's deletion policy states that "[i]f editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page" (see WP:ATD). Improvement is certainly possible here, and should be favored over deletion. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:28, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. - clearly notable topic. with a bad article. not a reaon for deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:41, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Reading the comments here and the relevant guidelines again, I'm persuaded to keep this pending improvements and have changed my above recommendation accordingly.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 02:41, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
