The result was merge to
Glossary of sewing terms#H. Considering that keep/delete opinions are about evenly split, and the merger proposed at the end remained unopposed, this seems like the most consensual outcome of this discussion. Sandstein 06:23, 23 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Deprodded with the rationale, "WP:BEFORE reveals multiple sources", which indeed the BEFORE did reveal several sources. However, none of them were in-depth enough to show notability. There is not doubt this exists, but this simple DICDEF does not meet
WP:GNG.

Comment - the "GNG" described above consists of 2 sentences (ref #1), 3 brief mentions (ref #2), and a decent source from a design book, Upstyle Your Windows.

It is introduced on page 51 in source #1 but there is further information on the application of this on
pages 286-287.

Delete — Per rationale by
onel5969, it does not par with our notability threshold. Celestina007 (

Keep Give me a break. The subject is covered in multiple reliable independent verifiable published sources. It's a kind of tape. It is real. It exists everywhere. Article is not promotional nor does it advocate. It's as notable as
thread or
elastic.

Weak keep - I added some more info. Unlike most common dictionary definitions which rightly should be deleted, you don't have any idea what this is from the name, so having the article is helpful if bringing knowledge to people is our goal. Having some history to add would put this into regular keep territory, but this will do for now.

Keep per sources added by TimTempleton. Seems just notable enough to pass GNG.

Comment. There is no argument that it does not exist, slim argument that it has insufficient sources. But, there is no argument to counter that this is a
WP:DICTDEF.

Comment I don't think the article is just a
WP:DICDEF right now. The article contains multiple uses for header tape which go beyond defining the word. Additionally, even if the content is just a longer dictionary definition, the subject passes
WP:GNG with its sources.
Article content does not determine notability.

Keep: "stub" does not mean "must delete", and Ifnord points out that this can be kept due to policy of
WP:HEY.

Merge permastub to Glossary of sewing terms#H. Problem solved. (Sources are good, but it's also true that we have very little to say about this topic.) czar 04:26, 23 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Merge per above. While I think there’s enough information to prevent it from just being a simple dictionary definition, there’s not going to be a way for the information to be expanded begone a stub, and the glossary seems like a perfect home for it.
