The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Vorwerk (company). Seems to be a consensus that some of the information is worth keeping, and some of the products have been reviewed numerous times, but the brand itself is not passing WP:GNG. I will leave it to editors to kindly merge and convert the current article to a redirect. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:34, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This company is an early pioneer and actively selling products in the area of robot vacuum cleaners, one of the very few consumer level robotics products. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:24, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge to Vorwerk (company), its parent company. Significant coverage exists in the form of reviews of the company's various products, such as CNET, PC Magazine, Engadget, PC Magazine, Engadget, Mashable, etc., but the sources don't say much about the company itself.

Keep - This is a bit weak on company coverage, but the product line is notable, and as Oleg pointed out, they are considered a pioneer in the consumer robotics industry. I thought about flipping it around and renaming it Neato robotic vacuums, with a small section for the company, but that would be a bit clunky, and I'm not sure that's an obvious search term. I also thought about a merge to Vorwerk (company), but that article's company overview section is a bit of a mess with unsourced bulleted text, and any merge of product info would make it unbalanced. Keeping it, but with maybe a bit less product detail, seems to be the best option. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 00:29, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The product review seems like a type of advertisement and product placement, refers to WP:PRODUCTREV. And the sources just don't show notability for the subject. --Mestrossino (talk) 08:56, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The company has been around for more than 10 years, and theirs is one of the earliest and most innovative current robot vacuum designs. The things you find excessive can be trimmed. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:33, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep without prejudice toward a Merge per NorthAmerica. Andrevan@ 22:35, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A merge may be a pain as the parent company has a very different product line and unrelated history. It may be clearer for the reader if these are kept separate, but current article may need to be slimmed down perhaps. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:18, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the target suggested by Northamerica1000. Lightburst (talk) 01:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
