[edit] Olpere

I deleted this article because it seemed an OR to me, at least the naming part. The author contacted me and stated notability reasons: 1. Used constantly, just not NAMED 2. Somebody has to do it 3. Industrial context 4. Keep reading trade magazines 5. Respect the license and monitor patents issued

So I am putting it here to generate a clearer consensus. The naming part is problematic, the rest seems quite ok. So I suggest move somewhere. --Tone 12:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day while working for an Electronic Load manufacturer! As I'm not a scientist, I don't know how sound the science behind it is - but the article is written by the person who coined the term. Two days ago. There is absolutely no assertion of the term's notability within its field - just one citation of a noted scientific publication would be enough, I think. If such a thing can't be found, verifiability can't be established, so it has to be a delete. Otherwise, I could just create an article calling the exact same thing a "Spledgekoff", and who could say which of us was right and which one wrong? Seb Patrick 12:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
