WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:NOTCATALOG - Not a single source found from a BEFORE BrigadierG (talk) 01:20, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and Italy. BrigadierG (talk) 01:20, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
• Delete: I can find sources on particular models of their machines, but nothing about the company itself aside from catalogues trying to sell me one of their products. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 01:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to illy, (or just merge). When we remove the catalogue listings at the bottom, we are left with a few lines about the company. Oaktree b (talk) 02:09, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
• Comment (but maybe a weak keep with redirect/merge as an alternative to deletion) I'm pondering if there'll ever be enough for a standalone article or if it should be merged into Illy, which is surprisingly short to me so it may fit well. Some sources I found: [https://archive.org/details/itmustvebeensome0000stei/page/322/mode/2up?q=FrancisFrancis%21 It must've been something I ate]: moderate mention/detail of and a positive review in a food book. Longer articles/reviews in newspapers (there are more capsule/short reviews that exist): [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-morning-call-your-espresso-machine-r/130432687/] &[https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-morning-call-repair-page-2/130432754/] (talking about repairing espresso machine using the author's Francis machine), [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-morning-call-to-buy-or-not-to-buy/130432829/] stand alone review, [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-los-angeles-times-ah-bellissimo/130432972/] discussion in the context of Italian artistic things and includes mention of FrancisFrancis!'s plate set. Longer reviews: [https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/food-day-wednesday-la-carter-pressure-is-on-find/docview/279553775/se-2?accountid=196403 A 300+ word narrative review of a FrancisFrancis! machine]. Mentions/minor case studies in text books/business books: [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Global_Brand_Management/K3-5DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22francis%20francis%22], [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Progressive_Business_Models/y4M0DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=illy%20francis%20francis], [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Entrepreneurial_Growth_in_Industrial_Dis/jlyPKfceO9kC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=francis]. (Passing reference but interesting to me: [https://archive.org/details/willgracefabulou0000colu/page/154/mode/2up?q=FrancisFrancis%21 FrancisFrancis! on the Will and Grace set].)

• Redirect to Illy seems to be appropriate as per above Pranesh Ravikumar (talk) 02:29, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to Illy. It's a high threshold for a product to warrant its own article, which is not, in my opinion, met in this instance. There is nothing lost by having a redirect to the company page, which is certainly notable. If the product has sufficient discussion in secondary sources, a small sentence would be fine on that page. However, there is nothing of significance I can see regarding this particular machine that makes a merge vote worthwhile or practicable. The contents are largely not worth copying over. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:45, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to Illy, for the reasons given above. The article as it stands needs a {{citation needed}} on almost every line, as it is full of unsupported statements. As for the "Interesting facts" section, interesting for whom? Athel cb (talk) 08:01, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to Illy as per ATD, totally agree with the reasons provided above. The references are insufficient for GNG/NCORP criteria in any case. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:19, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
