The result was Keep per the unanimous consensus in this discussion. I would also note Dricherby's comment that the AfD section is not the appropriate place to debate this topic. A non-admin closure. And Adoil Descended (talk) 00:11, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Confused mismatch of an article between the term "bubbler" (synonym of drinking fountain) and the fountain itself. Wholly unreferenced to boot. Dea db eef 06:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

This is not an issue for AfD. The article needs to be cleaned up and placed at "Drinking fountain", with a redirect from "Bubbler" (a dialect and trademark term) and a "main article:" link at Fountain#Drinking_fountain. Dricherby (talk) 09:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep Seems fine and has several links supporting the topic. Here's another one: [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=jqhqSPMXmTwC&pg=PT343 Explorer's Guide Wisconsin]. Warden (talk) 09:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Move to Drinking fountain which is the more common name for the generic article. Much of the article is not specifically about the branded product: it would be ok to have an article specifically on the branded product at this name, if there were better references, but a generic article about drinking fountains belongs at drinking fountain. --82.71.226.217 (talk) 10:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep A lot of people in Eastern New England and Wisconsin use this term instead of "Drinking Fountain" - see question # 103 http://spark-1590165977.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com/jkatz/SurveyMaps http://spark-1590165977.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com/jkatz/SurveyMaps/
Keep and Merge It's a notable topic (speaking as a Wisconsinite). I think the section Fountain#Drinking fountain should be moved to Bubbler and then rename the article to Drinking fountain. Of course, sources are needed as well. Howicus (talk) 14:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

:Oh, and the stuff about the brand name could go to Kohler Company, assuming that the article is correct. Howicus (talk) 14:45, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

What Howicus said - While there is some suitable information here once references are added, "bubbler" is just a Wisconsin term for drinking fountain. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 15:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep and rename drinking fountain. This is currently a subsection of fountain — fountains and drinking fountains are completely different animals, different in form and function and each with their own history. Carrite (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep I entirely agree with Howicus. Well said. Capitalismojo (talk) 19:12, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Move to Drinking fountain and take care of merging, clean-up, and the like outside of AfD. This is starting to look like a WP:SNOW keep. Cnilep (talk) 03:19, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep I agree with Howicus. Thank you-RFD (talk) 13:11, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
