Expansion ratio

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability and referenced tagged since June 2007. Expansion ratio is used in a variety of disciplines to mean different things. See Wikipedia search. The scope of expansion ratio does not lend itself to being covered in a single article. -- Suntag  ☼  07:37, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Expansion. I see no notability issues here. I frankly fail to see how a chemistry could be non-notable. I do see a dictionary definition and something that is unreferenced. People should be able to look up ratio and expansion separately and draw their conclusions accordingly - Mgm|(talk) 08:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I did a rewrite of the article, in its new form keep, i think that in every field the expansion ratio can fill an own specific article, once we have two fields, we can make a DP, for this one, its cryogenic liquid specific. Mion (talk) 11:40, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I still think the title doesn't fully match the content, please consider renaming before the second article is written to pre-empt a dab. - Mgm|(talk) 13:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * yes, Expansion ratio (cryogenics) would be an option, but with no second article present there is no reason for it, but if you think it should be done now, so do it. Mion (talk) 14:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. The new version is more than a dictionary definition. If the same term is used with a different meaning in other disciplines, a disambiguation page may be useful, but that's a separate question. --Itub (talk) 11:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
