Talk:Domino joiner

Notability tag

The Domino Joiner by Festool is one of the most famous tools on earth among woodworkers. Putting a notability tag denotes an ignorance of the field. The article does need more work and more sources, agreed, but notability issues are not the problem. Ratel (talk) 01:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit". That includes those ignorant of woodworking. It's necessary for an article to demonstrate this clearly, not just for an editor to assert it as a personal opinion. Do you have any sources that could be used here?

Also I think you're stretching it somewhat as, "one of the most famous tools on earth "! They're barely 10 years old and they're far from common. I've only seen one in a toolshop, not a workshop. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:41, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have yet to meet a serious woodworker who does not know about this tool. They are expensive so tend to get used mostly in commercial production. I challenge you to find any major woodworking forum where it is not extensively discussed.

Some sources:

Fine Woodworking, 2007 — Joining has always been a slow, difficult process. Never again, thanks to Festool's new Domino joining system...
The Workbench Design Book: The Art & Philosophy of Building Better Benches — You can use almost any method to align the two edges you are gluing up for the top: biscuits, splines or even dowels. We have a Festool Domino in the shop, and it's perfect for this sort of accurate work.
Popular Woodworking — For the combination of speed and strength, this joinery system is tough to beat. [1]
Pro Tool Reviews, glowing review (2016).

As with most newer woodworking tools, the availability of good sources is a problem, but in the field of woodworking this tool is certainly notable. Ratel (talk) 20:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The domino joiner itself is pretty famous and I heard about it in the book Woodwork: A Step-by-Step Photographic Guide to Successful Woodworking, so I'm not disputing it's notability. But this page reads like an advertisement written by Festool! 184.177.62.166 (talk) 18:45, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is a significant tool, as you can see from what furniture builders are saying, e.g. [2]. You are welcome to insert well sourced criticisms. Ratel (talk) 11:49, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have rewritten part of the article for a more neutral and comprehensive wording. Would appreciate if someone reviews it as the tag really has no place here. By same notion the "biscuit joiner" articles should be removed ... It may still use a bit of vendor-neutral language, but this should come naturally as the patents expire and more vendors offer similar tools in the next few years.145.224.105.244 (talk) 14:03, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I gave it two months and now have per WP:BOLD removed the tag.

If someone wants to reintroduce it - then a good reasoning needs to be added as the article is sourced and over the 8 years since the original tak the practical notability went only up.145.224.105.244 (talk) 22:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
