[edit] Requested Move

Does any have a problem with me moving this article to Sand casting? I just feel as though the title is very awkward, and I've never heard it called that in industry. Plus, google gives 260,000 hits for "sand molded casting", and 2,700,000 hits for "sand casting". --Wizard191 (talk) 12:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Normal practice is to use the commonly-used term. Here it also avoids the 'incorrect' spelling of the middle word... :o) -- EdJogg (talk) 00:29, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I support the move to Sand casting. "Sand molded casting" implies that the article would be about the casted part, and not the process. Also, "Sand casting" is the accepted terminology. Iepeulas (talk) 15:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I have notified the guy who moved the article from Sand casting to Sand molded casting and invited him to let us know why he prefers the latter title.Iepeulas (talk) 15:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
The guy who moved the article to Sand molded casting had no objections, so I moved the article to Sand casting.Iepeulas (talk) 00:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
