I do not believe this product/thing is notable by our standards. It has a long past of product placement (see the history--note how company links are used as references), and apparently this is just not a very notable machine. Searching around we have a ton of commercial links and webstore entries; Google News delivers a few hits but none from mainstream publications or even reliable fringe sources, as far as I can tell--and I do not, in any of these web sites and whatnot, see more than just passing mentions. We need in-depth discussion in reliable sources. Drmies (talk) 00:17, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Sex toy: While it may not be notable enough to warrant its own article, I think it would make sense as part of a larger article. MereTechnicality ⚙ 01:42, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm fine with that--but the burden of RS remains... Drmies (talk) 02:48, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are enough sources here to support merge. I'm really not sure there is enough depth to support a stand-alone article. If there is a merge, a Redirect should be left also. MB 03:42, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Of course these things are notable, nor are they merely sex toys. They have a long and continuing history going back into Victorian quack medicine and they are a technically distinct type of machine from pretty much anything else. They belong as a section within Erotic electrostimulation, same as TENS machine and arc welder, but just like those devices they also warrant a stand-alone article.
