- Comment. This is another one that was taken out of Britannica. I do believe there is a project to insert all articles from the 1911 edition and basically a lot of people would argue that if it was good enough for Britannica, (paper) then it's definitely good enough for Wiki. freshgavinΓΛĿЌ 11:15, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- It might have been notable in 1911, but is it notable now? I have spent many hours in electrical wholesalers over the years and never heard this term! Maybe it's US-specific? It's just another type of uplighter, after all. Not that I diss Britannica, an old friend wrote the article on heating and ventilation for Britannica, but it does not seem to have much point as a standalone article. - Just zis Guy, you know? 11:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Term widely used in US at least - I don't believe I ever heard it in the UK, though. Article needs cleanup including mention of geographical distribution of usage, but should be kept. —Morven 11:46, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep if only as 1911 Britannica entry, which gives it some worthiness I believe. --MacRusgail 11:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: it was already an article and I merged the EB 1911 material with it. I have heard of this term before and own one of them. -- Kjkolb 12:24, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
