tag removal

I removed the speedy delete tag per the following already posted reasons, which I am copying and pasting in here so they can be seen more readily (now that I have deleted the tag).--Epeefleche (talk) 20:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Rationale

Please see talk:Retrotronics#Origins and talk:Steampunk#Retrotronics for an explanation of the origins of this page - a brief stub creation so that an anon IP can proceed to flesh it out.

As for {{db-corp}}, then which "company, corporation, organization, or group" are we talking about here? It's simply an inappropriate criterion.

For an accusation of commercial spam, just which of the four independent links (none of which are overly promoted here) is accused of spamming?

KEEP I agree with Andy. This is a description of an activity, whcih could not even be called a "movement". It is certainly unorganized, so that {{db-corp}} has no applicability. The article is certainly a little thin at the moment, but that will change with time.. . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 14:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

KEEP Playing with Nixie and other vacuum tubes is entirely retro and lots of cool stuff along these lines can be found via Make and many other sources. Deleting this entry seems very reactionary. (User talk:kah13) —Preceding undated comment added 05:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC).

Should this article exist, or exist under this name?

This article appears it may violate Wikipedia's WP:NONEO policy. Beyond being a neologism, none of the article's secondary sources appear to even refer to "retrotronics" in passing. Can anyone supply reliable sources which refer to retrotronics? --Ds13 (talk) 00:00, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
