[edit] Merge
Articles refer to "Precious Metal Clay'; the only forms common are gold and silver; recommend merge.Bridesmill 16:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

- No merge, having the article at one particular brand name is POV, it needs to stay at the generic. pschemp | talk 03:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, but that makes no sense. the material only comes in Precious Metals, there is no 'copper clay' for instance. And one is had-pressed to find it referred to in North america as anything except Precious Metal Clay. Plus when the question was posed 2 weeks ago, nobody seemed to have any complaints.Bridesmill 01:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ah no, Rings and Things in Seattle carries ACS and has for years. It isn't even close to not referred to, it just depends what brand you are used to using. Just because you didn't know about it doesn't mean it isn't true. A simple Google serach would have told you where to get ACS. Not to mention this is the English wiki, but should not be centered on North America. As for the time, some of us are busy and it takes a while to keep an eye on all 2,500 articles I watch, so cut us some slack. Wikipedia is not an advertising service, and our policies state that. Thus we should not favor one brand over the other, as that promotes a certain point of view and works as advertising. If you aren't familiar with the way we do things here, I suggest you read out editing polices. pschemp | talk 05:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Why not. Your capitalization says it all. Also from the article: There are two popular brands of this material, Art Clay Silver (ACS) and Precious Metal Clay (PMC). As for two weeks ago - don't think I was even aware of the article then. Vsmith 02:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
