Proposal for deletion
I added a proposal for deletion. I see no reason for this article to exist...  My suspicion is that it was added as an engraving article without the editor realizing there already was such a thing under engraving. This adds essentially nothing that isn't already in that article, plus engraving is greatly more complete.Jjdon (talk) 19:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

The tag was removed - I suspect maybe for procedural reasons - no argument from me. One way or another, this is not something that should exist on it's own (speaking as an engraver). But I'm not on a crusade, I just happened on it and realized it's already done in engraving. It's like saying "Pin Number" Personal ID number number.... Or "with au jus"...Jjdon (talk) 19:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
