I don't know what this is about. It's not notable and has no references. CynofGavuf 10:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete- Googling this yields nothing useful at all (despite the name I surprisingly didn't even get any pornographic unrelated hits), it's not clear what the article is about, and there are no sources. Reyk _YO! 11:10, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• keep Fixed reason for why it was put on the deletion list. I added references and links to websites supporting the material on the page. Paly 1 (talk) 17:10, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. This appears to be describing an automated machine used in the production of electronic circuit boards. Surely there must be documentation of these machines in the trade press. At present, the article is poorly referenced, and has some stylistic flaws, but I think there's a reasonable prospect of improvement. TheFeds 22:10, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments: The article title should be singular. Also I wouldn't be opposed to a merge to through-hole technology. TheFeds 22:15, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The nomination is contradictory in saying that the nominator doesn't understand what the topic but then asserts that it is not notable. I have no difficulty finding a source such as Handbook of lead-free solder technology for microelectronic assemblies. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:23, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
