Expatial

This is the name of a new "proprietary patented method" of hardening steel and other metals. PROD removed (by the PRODder) because the author planned to add citations from laboratory testing - see discussion on talk page - but it is clear from that discussion, and from searches, that this is too new to satisfy the requirement of WP:NEO and WP:Notability for reliable secondary sources.

 * Delete as thinly disguised commercial spam. Carrite (talk) 01:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - apologies for my oversight in re-PRODding when I ought to have raised for discussion, thanks to John for picking up on this. As per the PROD, as well as appearing to fail NEO, my searches on GBooks and GNews show nothing for this method or materials. If the materials were discussed in independent reliable sources then I would expect an article could be created without having to use trademarked terminology as the article title. --Fæ (talk) 04:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
