Teak furniture[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reads like an advert for teak furniture. Most of the text is a set of instructions for the care of furniture - which is non-encylopaedic. Rest of text is a list of types of outdoor furniture - this is hardly particular to teak! I don't believe this article can be salvaged. There is a mention of teak furniture in the teak page - this is all that is required. MightyWarrior (talk) 10:00, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 June 11. Snotbot t • c » 09:36, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Teak#Uses. I don't dispute the notability of teak furniture but I also don't see anything worth keeping in the current article. Having said that teak is good for making outdoor furniture, it's not necessary to describe every kind of furniture that could be made from the wood. The rest of the article violates WP:NOTHOWTO and Teak already contains similar information in a non-howto format. Dricherby (talk) 10:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above, or delete. The article is a short list of types of furniture, none of which are exclusive to teak, and a long, unsourced, unencyclopedic WP:NOTHOWTO section. Kill it now before the cruft crew gets the idea to start breaking out articles on common objects by material: steel fork, wooden fork, plastic fork, silver fork, ivory fork, Bakelite fork, etc etc etc etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:46, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Salt Bakelite fork as an obvious content fork of Plastic fork! :-) Dricherby (talk) 13:22, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - to Teak#Uses per Dricherby. Now excuse me, I must use my teak longbow to scare some cruft crew members before they get to those fork articles! (Said teak longbow is sadly less accurate than a good old yew, but I keep it for show, and my yew's in the shop today.) öBrambleberry of RiverClan 14:37, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've already found half a dozen valid journal articles #s 1,2,3,4 ,7,8 using the simplest possible keyword approach. More coming. I think there could indeed be a valid article for each of the major furniture woods--there are not all that many. DGG ( talk ) 17:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per DGG, who has demonstrated that plenty of good sources exist to make a full article. Bearian (talk) 18:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
