The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a

The result was delete. While there was some !voting for merging or keeping, the consensus of editors, when weighing against policies and guidelines, was for deletion. Some suggested salting these titles. I'm not sure salting is appropriate in this circumstance (1 merge, 1 deletion AfD each under a different name) and so am not doing this, but without prejudice to some other uninvolved administrator choosing to do so.

Comment: Note that previous AfD was closed as merge despite the fact that it appears one editors were advocating for keep, one (nominator) for merge, and one for delete: it seems more like no consensus to me. Appears to have some international coverage from fiz-karlsruhe.de that's already cited in the article.
ja:エコキュート has lots of coverage including from
Yomiuri,
Mainichi,

NHK, and more including
an award from

this magazine featuring it. I would also rename to get rid of the parenthetical per

Keep: EcoCute is trademark with millions of units used in Japan, some number of units also used in oversea, hopefully more number in area other than Japan.
Installations, Japan and oversea case study list Article context and external link shows reality. I had created article EcoCute in July 2008, in January 2024, nominated for
delete, then merged to, but eliminated section EcoCute in
Air source heat pump thereafter. EcoCute (Japan) is based on number of units used/working in Japan, so that this is eligible to be an article in fact with (Japan). As
Generic trademark, no one nominate trademark
Coca-Cola merger into
Coke nor
Jeep into automobile, neither Wikipedia® registered trademark neither. EcoCute is registered and generic trademark. I shall repeat once again:
Once an article A deleted and marge to another article B, even A redirected to B, anyone can edit article B include word A in context of article B, but long term in future, it is possible/happen the word A may disappear from B due to number of editing by many editor/user. No one able to guarantee such sad thing if article A is worthful. This is my understanding. This comment is in
My opinon on 12:46, 7 February 2024. If this nomination be resulted as merge back to
Air source heat pump again, or other, merge or delete nomination will be happened again and again. Independent article EcoCute (Japan) is much safer from delete/merge, and contribute CO2 reduction with implemented efficiency. --

Keep, again: History of EcoCute merged after discussion in to
Air source heat pump as section, then section deleted/eliminated without any talk, then ECoCute (Jpapan) created. Now EcoCute (Japan) is on AfD/ Merged again. If resulted to mereged in this discuss again and again, can anyone garantee protect/not be eliminated section EcoCute or EcoCute (Japan) by
Banners like SfD (Section for Detele) for discussion, KS (Keep this Section) or something else.
While I agree with keep, note that you only get one vote so you should consolidate your argument into one section or re-label one of them as a comment

As far as I know nobody can guarantee that a merged section would not be deleted. I agree with @
MrOllie that the section was too lengthy and only covered one product. However as this seems to have been very ahead of its time I believe it should be covered briefly in the
air source heat pump article along with some other companies and/or products.

Keep + Comment: As of article version 05:15, 19 May 2024,
JIS JIS C 9220:2018 in section “EcoCute machine basics”, it should be noted that no equivalent total system, EcoCute is 1: heat pump air sourced + 2: hot water storage tank + 3: supply with CO2 Refrigerant.
Air source heat pump is describe step 1: only and functional usage is for air conditioner, bathing, underfloor heating and etc., and any conceivable use connecting to room air conditioning unit or to water unit or any unit for purpose. JIS C 9220 standards clearly defined/request associated hot water tank mandatory as single system. I am not sure standard for air source heat pump is, but sure that it may not defined/request associated hot water tank. My “keep” position is rationally with/based reasons, facts and differences.--

Many air source heat pump systems in Europe include hot water tanks. Certainly Ecocute should be mentioned in the
Air source heat pump history section as it was so ahead of its time. It was a great pioneer but nowadays others have caught up.
