Talk:Tanning lamp

message: In case there is any confusion, this is all original material based on my knowlege working in the industry for number of years, and has not come from any of my other work or other site.  I will produce some Public Domain images for this and some of the other concepts soon. As usual, no links to any company I work for or personal opinions.   Pharmboy 23:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Made tanning lamps, tanning bulb and tanning bulbs direct to this page due to how frequently those terms are used to search for this item on popular search engines. Pharmboy 23:17, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirects added 

message: Update: I have cites several sources, and will add to them.  Unfortunately, there is very little public information on tanning lamps except from the manufacturers, which is the reason I started this section.  To keep it balanced, I have not cited any website that sell direct (all are through distributors), and have tried to spread the cites out among the different major manufacturers. I didn't site a couple of manufacturers because I felt their information was skewed and not neutral. Pharmboy 12:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: My statistic has been removed a few times.  I am pretty new to Wikipedia and as I understand it your information must be cited and verifiable.  I am trying to learn the ropes and they suggest starting with something you know and that's what I am doing. Simply calling something spam because you feel like it is a classic example of refutation by denigration.  Please support your changes with facts.

message: The paragraph about the wolff metric that gives a link to http://www.wolffsystem.com/lamps.html
looks a bit like someone is trying to advertise for themselves.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.194.187 (talk) 17:47, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advertisement? 

message: Almost all of the few sources in this article refer generically to fluorescent lamps, etc, not to tanning lamps. If the unsourced and generic material were deleted there'd be little left. Perhaps it should be merged to tanning bed, since tanning lamps are only used in tanning beds or booths, etc. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 09:10, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to keep the material then find sources for it. Unsourced material may be deleted. All the rest of your comments, while interesting, don't get to the basic issue that this article is mostly unverifiable, and therefore apparently non-notable. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 22:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure being confrontational is really helpful.  Saying it is unverifiable is presumptuous. Much of it is unverified, but mainly because it was uncontentious when added.  I can't help but notice that you spend a lot of time disassembling tanning articles, I'm curious why the sudden interest.  I agree we need sources, but the zeal you have for this obscure topic is unusual.  Dennis Brown - 2¢ 03:22, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It may have been uncontentious when added, but it's been challenged for years - see the old tags. Nothing has been done for years to fix those omissions. Someone above says he added the material based solely on his personal knowledge - surely that's not appropriate. If we can fix this article, let's do it. If not, then there are other ways of handling it. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:F05D:49AD:7B3C:978C (talk) 04:41, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
