[edit] Geophysical engineering

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

Article is a nearly meaningless, and not terribly accurate, one-sentence stub, with no substantive edits since November 2006. This specialty is not widely recognized, and there is no parent article on Applied geophysics. Argyriou (talk) 16:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC) (Added later) This is a contested prod.

• Weak Delete - maybe has potential to grow into something better, but as of now, it's pointless. Jauerback 16:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect - possible search term, at least one graduate program does exist. Tom Harrison ^Talk 16:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per above. There are currently 39 schools in the United States that offer this as a major, including Harvard, UCLA and UC Berkeley.--Sethacus 16:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to geological engineering. Usage indicates they are considered virtually identical. --Dhartung | Talk 17:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Thank you for suggesting a usable redirect. My first thought was Applied geophysics, which is also a redlink. I'll make this a redirect, and withdraw this nomination. Argyriou (talk) 18:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
