- Trilon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This page isn't really a disambig at all; more like a series of (unsourced) dictionary definitions disguised as a disambig. Furthermore, I can't find any sources for any of the three definitions given here, least of all for the game show trilons.

Withdrawn per Dhartung's improvements, now looks like a decent dab page to me. Still needs work to remove all the red links, but it's a good enough start. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Not true. Even if there are no sources, it doesn't mean sources don't exist. And your basically saying tha every unsourced article on Wikipedia should be deleted because they are unsourced? D.M.N. (talk) 17:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think he meant to say "no sources exist on this subject". Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Well, the Trylon is certainly verifiable (there are whole books on the architecture of the NY World's Fair), but that information belongs in the fair article. The game-show trilon is obviously something superseded by electronic displays, but they were definitely in use well into the 1980s; I wonder if this is one brand name and if there's another name they're known by. --Dhartung | Talk 01:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and source - WP:CHANCE. D.M.N. (talk) 17:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]- This article has been around for nearly five years; how much more of a chance does it need? I've tried to source the content here; notice that I pointed that out in the original nomination. Furthermore, the page is mostly just a dicdef anyway.

- Woops, I never looked at the page history. Therefore, it's now a Delete for me. D.M.N. (talk) 09:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I have merged the material with triangular prism and Trylon and Perisphere, and added other notable meanings, to make this a more acceptable disambiguation page. --Dhartung | Talk 23:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
