[edit] Eudiometer

Eudiometer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I am tagging this article for deletion for several reasons.

-There are four sources mentioned for 4 sentences among several hundred. It would be more work to find sources for these statements than to delete the page and start over methodically.
-There are numerous formatting and spelling errors, which detract from the article.
-Much of the information given is covered in other articles. This blatant overlap must be stopped.

• Strong Keep. No valid rationale for deletion - the fact that an article is in need of improvement is not a reason for deleting it. I agree that it could do with more sources than simple dictionary definitions, but this is an historically important piece of apparatus that should have an article.

• Keep Agree with Tevildo above. None of the reasons given are part of deletion policy. If it needs some work that's an editorial issue, not a deletion issue.--Cube lurker (talk) 23:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - there is no reason for deletion listed. We should fix problems, not remove articles that have them. matt91486 (talk) 00:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. The only thing I've got to add to the comments above is the word "speedy". Phil Bridger (talk) 11:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. per rationale above. Also, please note that User:Jokermole's first contribution (and only besides his/her own user/talkpages) is this AfD request. May or may not be relevant, but it smells like xe's been wearing shoes too long on a hot day. Keeper | 76 21:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok guys. I understand your comments, and therefore believe that Keep is the best option. I am actually not a new user, but I have done my edits mostly anonymously from another ip. This account is NOT a sock puppet. Jokermole (talk) 04:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

If you strike out the nomination and note that it's withdrawn it should get closed reasonably quickly.--Cube lurker (talk) 04:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
