Environmental impact of nail polish remover

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An essay. Does not read like an encyclopedic article (What_Wikipedia_is_not), and has problems with WP:OR/WP:N. It is almost certainly a student project for a course I was unable to trace, and one where the instructor seems to have failed to explain to this student the difference between encyclopedic topic and an essay, and policies of no original research and notability. While there is a merge proposal to acetone, it is only in the form of the template, no-one has bothered to follow it up to start a merger discussion. I thought about it, but I don't see what could be merged there - Nail polish article might be better. However, given the problems with OR and style, I am not sure how much is salvageable, and so I am recommending a deletion (hence, we are here).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete This is an essay, not an article. Perhaps some of the material here could be merged to acetone or nail polish. Alansohn (talk) 03:41, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
