[edit] Elektron (alloy)

Advertising, lots of trade mark icons thrown about in this article. RickK 07:40, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Concur, reads like advertising but the title makes it look as if ought to be a science article. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:42, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, with changes I made to reduce the advertisement quality of the article. --Dachannien 12:37, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep on condition that '(alloy)' is removed from title and changed to something more accurate. We do have articles on Kevlar, Nylon, and Tyvek which are all trademarked materials. (Disclosure: I vfd'ed this article the first time it came around b/c it looked like advertising.) Monkeyman 13:05, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Monkeyman. DS1953 19:26, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. JPL uses this stuff. We should all remember that article quality is not a criterion for deletion. See deletion policy for more information about what to do about low article quality.--Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • The article was not nominated based on article quality. It was nominated based on the fact that the content was pure advertising with no indication of notability. Don't lecture me on how to make nominations. RickK 21:54, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Advertisements about significant products can easily be cleaned up by simply removing any advertising material. As you're probably aware, there is no consensus on "notability" for alloys and the like. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:34, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand with the rewrite. JamesBurns 04:49, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
