[edit] Magnetic evaporative cooling

Subject is real but article is a hoax. (Nicolaus Demalone is made up; technique invented recently, not in 1892; no such thing as "heat particles", quantum or otherwise; Ice-9 is a fictional substance from the Kurt Vonnegut science fiction novel Cat's Cradle). See [1] for a real explanation of the technique. Until someone writes a real article it would be better not to have this nonsense and fakery here. Gdr 10:32, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)

• Obvious Keep. Megan1967 00:29, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep revised article. Original version was deletable. Comment: Even for vastly improved articles, the VfD header should remain on the article until the discussion period is over and the discussion page has been properly archived. Rossami (talk) 00:40, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: that seems needlessly bureaucratic. Gdr 01:44, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
