~~Delete per the prodder, Baffle gab1978 (talk · contribs), who noted that this is original research and an unreferenced essay.~~ Cunard (talk) 06:29, 10 July 2010 (UTC) *Delete. Seriously? Speedy was declined on this? To say it violates WP:NOTHOWTO wouldn't be telling the half of it. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Why is this even being discussed? It's unsalvageable to the point of being patent nonsense and I'm nominating it as such. C1k3 (talk) 08:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately, It doesn't qualify as nonsense in the Wikipedia sense, as it's quite comprehensible. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 13:40, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it's WP:CB. No notability, written in an undeniably promotional/how-to style etc. Claritas § 10:04, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:NOTHOWTO, the second person tense makes it sound like an infomercial, without the actual name of the product they're trying to sell. TomCat4680 (talk) 10:15, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTHOWTO. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 10:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Assistive technology as it isn't notable to have a stand alone article. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 21:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:CB, not to mention WP:YOUHAVEGOTTOBEKIDDING. Reyk _YO! 11:21, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge Fences & Windows's new version into Assistive technology. Good job on the rewrite, but I think this is an unlikely search term. Reyk _YO! 19:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 13:40, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - def. not a manual Hekerui (talk) 14:15, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as a sort of infomercial - but it does not fit neatly into what could be speedily deleted, such as spam. Bearian (talk) 20:25, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This article has significantly changed since its AfD nomination. Fences&Windows 16:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Rather than joining the delete pile-on I've turned it into a valid sourced stub. These devices are common for people with disabilities. Fences&Windows 16:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd be happy with a merge (I'm not sure there's much more to say about them), and obviously a rename is needed. Fences&Windows 17:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the fantastic rewrite by Fences and windows. I suggest a rename to toilet seat riser or to toilet riser, which are plausible search terms. Cunard (talk) 01:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and rename to Toilet seat riser. The article still needs work, though, because it reads more like a trivia section. Erpert (let's talk about it) 05:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Fences and windows' rewrite with appropriate sources. No aspersions on the placer of the original speedy tag that I removed, as the old version was vastly inappropriate. Merge to Assistive technology would be okay, but (1) I think that there is enough here for a decent article, and (2) I think that even importing a stub-length paragraph into that article would overburden what is a quite general topic. - 2/0 (cont.) 14:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, rename to Toilet riser, which appears to be the more common term (and is capitalized per WP:MOS). - 2/0 (cont.) 14:17, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
