RFDO discussion: April 2017

 * A pretty useless category. A pump isn't even a kind of pump, so it doesn't even belong in the category. I suppose it could be filled if someone knows terms for pumps. —CodeCat 20:10, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The Archimedean screw is an early type of pump. Beyond that, I am sure there are other technical terms for pumps, though I don't know any.  Wikipedia actually has a quite a list, but they can probably all be defined as sums of parts.  Though some might not be.  E.g. a lobe pump doesn't seem obvious in how it works from the name.  The heart is also a pump.  Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:24, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Let's see: fuel pump, petrol pump, vacuum pump, water pump, pressure pump, bicycle pump, gas pump. A bit hit and miss. DonnanZ (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * It now has 31 entries, so I think it's a definite keep. DonnanZ (talk) 11:30, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Rescinding the nomination. Thank you for filling it up! —CodeCat 12:39, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
