Talk:T5 fluorescent lamp

Delete T5 fluorescent lamp
This page should be deleted. There's no reason to separate this from Fluorescent lamp which covers all tubes including T5. There has been no discussion on breaking up Fluorescent lamp, and hence no consensus, which is a prerequisite for on doing so. 81.187.162.109 (talk) 01:44, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

This should not be merged into Fluorescent lamp, but deleted. Much of the content added over last 6 months is incorrect (including references to external material which is incorrect), or not specific to T5. It is not appropriately Encyclopedic either. Unfortunately, the Fluorescent Lamp article itself has had T5-specific (indeed all the size-specific) history and details removed into a separate article for no good reason. That screwed up what was actually a remarkably good article, and it's now harder to argue this T5 fluorescent lamp (section) is wrong to have (even if contents are currently wrong), because the main article is now deficient. It may simply be that Wikipedia has had it's day, with too many people who aren't subject matter experts continuing to fiddle with good articles which then gradually degrade, and subject matter experts give up trying to keep it all in good order and correct. Having written large chunks of the original Fluorescent lamp article myself, I have largely given up trying to keep it correct now, as the quality of contributions declined with more and more dubious and incorrect information being added, although this T5 fluorescent lamp (section) is particularly bad in this respect. 81.187.162.109 (talk) 00:43, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
