[edit] Merge of soap film into minimal surface

Oppose. The reason given by Drini for the merge tag is that the article is a one-liner. But these are distinct subjects. Soap films are minimal surfaces, but they are an important class that have been extensively studied; their study also involves non-mathematical aspects. The theory of minimal surfaces in general is not concerned with soap films in particular. Also of concern is that many people are not interested in the theory of minimal surfaces but are looking for information on soap films. An article on soap films could be written in a much more accessible manner. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 21:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
