Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fiber rope
Fibre rope is commonly contrasted with wire rope, which is significantly different.  For example, see the ''https://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&lr=&id=B_iiAgAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA10 Handbook of Fibre Rope Technology''  – a book of 432 pages – or ''https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1106/152808302031656 Advantages of Fiber Rope Over Wire Rope'' – a respectable paper.  Note also that we have numerous articles about particular types of rope including arithmetic rope, bolt rope, dynamic rope, fixed rope, kernmantle rope,  Manila rope,  natural rope,  skipping rope, static rope, tight rope, &c.  The nominator will be especially interested to note that there's even a dog rope!  Their vision that we should delete everything but rope seems too simplistic and, per  and , we should retain all these various strands as we weave them into our web of knowledge
