Alberger process
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Previous AfD was speedy closed due to an unclear rationale, an outcome endorsed at DRV with no prejudice for a renomination or merger discussion.

I'm not sure from WP:BEFORE that this topic is notable enough even for a merger. Most results are mirrors of Wikipedia, primary, or non-RS, except for Encyclopedia Britannica. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 19:34, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. I will grant that this is clearly an obscure topic and seems to have been more important in the past than it is in the present, but of course that is true of many of our articles. Nevertheless, there clearly are sources available, and they clearly indicate that it is an industrially relevant thing. I added a bit from a journal, and other sources are available--not exciting ones, but verifiable and informative. Here's a government release that discusses it in depth, for example. There are several similar industrial journal articles and so on that turn up in a Google Books search, including significant coverage in this industrial manual. Etc. blameless  02:44, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Searching for "Alberger method" indicates that the term is in wider use than I had thought. SailingInABathTub has done a good job in expanding this and there are lots of sources out there, including some that speak to the practical issues for cooks, and others that indicate the process is used for salts other than Diamond Crystal. blameless  21:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:GNG based on the sources now added to the article. SailingInABathTub (talk) 09:21, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep; despite being obscure, there seem to be enough sources to write a valid article. --ais523 01:30, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
