[edit] Merged/Moved?

Shouldn't this page be merged with fluorescence? The topic seems a bit too specific to require its own article. There are many fluorescent products that are not paint, like theft detection powders and inks, admission stamp inks, tracer dyes, crayons, etc. Also, there are many kinds of fluorescent paints. Oil and water. Those that appear the same color in Vis/UV vs those that appear white, clear, or a completely different color. Those that fluoresce from blue/cyan/green visible light to green/yellow/red. I'd like to see such stuff merged with fluorescence.

Or one could delete the redirect fluorescent and move this page there, expanding it to include all such materials. (fluorescence being for the scientific mechanics of the effect, fluorescent describing materials that are). Or possibly the same but with the redirect page blacklight.

Or move it to a totally new title like fluorescent materials or blacklight effects

The page as-is seems unwikipedic. Thoughts? Splarka 06:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. Unlike a paper encyclopedia, there's pretty-much no limit on the number of articles that Wikipedia can contain. And "Blacklight paint" (linked from "Day-Glo", by the way, IIRC) is a sufficiently broad topic to deserve an article. If there's not enough content here now, then add more! :-)

Well, the current title limits the amount of content that can be added. Splarka 19:05, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spam links

The newly-added UVArt link is clearly a spam link, but it's a pretty-interesting spam link.

Toss? Keep?

What say you?

I dont think the UVART is a spam link at all. Kent Mathieu is the one that brought "blacklight" UV painting into the mainstream and made various style codes for all Blacklight commercial art. It shows examples of blacklight/painting at its best. Why not take out the guy who invented Day-Glo then? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.133.244.172 (talk • contribs) .
