Ampere-meter

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The SI-unit for pole strength is Weber (unit).

"However, the strength of a magnetic field is measured in teslas..." is wrong because one has to take H (which is measured in A/m) instead of B (measured in T).

The unit ampere*meter still exists, but the entire article would have to be rewritten and I don't know what the content should be. --Debenben (talk) 21:47, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - This discussion page was created without the afd2 template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I haven't sufficiently looked at the article to form an opinion on the nomination itself at this time. -- Finngall   talk  19:11, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - You're right. The pole strength unit that needs to multiply H to turn it into a force is indeed the Weber. Since writing this, I've always worked in Gaussian units anyway where it doesn't matter. This article is not great and it just represents some fascination I had with inverse square laws when my physics teacher told me about them. Connor Behan (talk) 19:45, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ammeter. We do have articles about some composite units (e.g. Metre per second squared) but this particular unit has nothing really noteworthy. On the other hand, that name is a fairly likely search term for "a device to measure current" (I thought this was the topic before opening the AfD).

 * Redirect to Weber (unit) Ammeter and merge what can be used from the text to Weber -- the actual SI unit this article is trying to define. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:06, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * While the content of the article talks about something that would be measured in Weber, such a redirect from the title would be misleading, since a Weber is equivalent to kg&sdot;m2&sdot;s−2&sdot;A−1 (and not A⋅m). Tigraan Click here to contact me 17:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You make a good point. I have changed my !vote agree with your proposed redirect. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
