Delete Book reviews, a soundcloud page and what appears to be a stage play, but no hits for this "thing", torture device? Oaktree b (talk) 20:03, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so there is this [1] from 1894, this from 1905 [2] and this mention of the device [3]. Not sure they amount to substantial coverage, and if we'd even consider 100 yr old journals as RS. Oaktree b (talk) 20:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Skevington's gyves: several hits on Google Books for that title, currently given in article as an alternative name. Most of those on p1 are Victorian,[4][5][6][7][8] but some more recent hits with WP:SIGCOV on p2 onwards: [9][10][11][12][13]). It's definitely real, or at least discussed as such by reliable sources: either way, it passes WP:GNG, but doesn't seem to be most commonly known under the present title. Seems to be quite widely discussed in relation to Protestant martyrdoms under Henry VIII and Mary Tudor, particularly in relation to Foxe's mention of it.

Support keep and move to Skevington's gyves per UndercoverClassicist, after reviewing some of their sources and perusing Google books as well. —siro χ o 07:09, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
