Cemented carbide drawing die

This article is not encyclopedic. For example: the first phrase does not explain what a cemented carbide drawing die is. I suspect the article is a partial transcript of the only reference mentioned, which is a primary source. The article should be deleted as per wp:primary.

 * Redirect to Wire_drawing. No evidence that this particular type of die is sufficiently notable to require its own article.  The one reference listed does not appear to be a primary source, but it's also in Chinese, so I'm not completely certain, as my Mandarin is limited to yelling at my cat.

 * That is probably a good idea. A redirect to Cemented carbide may also work. I checked the Google translation of the abstract. The research is about failures and therefore I suspect that at a miminum the section on Precautions is primary material and directly copied from the reference and may constitute copyvio. Maybe the topic warrants a separate article (there are lots of chinese manufacturers announcing the product) but this article is not it, I am afraid.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect to Wire_drawing. While cemented carbide is cool, drawing dies are cool, and cemented carbide drawing dies are cool, I don't think this really makes it to being a standalone article. There is at least a few paragraphs of usable content here, which could (and should) go somewhere else. It seems to me like the provenance of this article is that somebody slapped it together real quickly so that they could attach the external links (which are all to sellers of cemented carbide drawing dies!) jp×g 00:02, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
