Ladle (metallurgy)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Keep. I started this AfD to call public attention to what has been happening to Ladle (metallurgy). It was created on 18 April 2006. At about 6.12 am on 7 Feb 2007 User:CopyToWiktionaryBot decided to transwiki it to Wiktionary, and copied it to Wiktionary:Transwiki:Ladle (metallurgy). But foundry ladles are a very important tool in heavy industry, and big foundry ladles are much more complicated than (e.g.) kitchen soup ladles. Ladle (metallurgy) is already more than a dictdef, and a Wikipedia member who works at a foundry could add much more about safe design and use of big foundry ladles, steel casing, firebrick lining, how to avoid its hot liquid contents from slopping or spilling out, and such oddments as how to avoid surface scum and slag from getting in the casting being poured. My father worked in a big engineering factory that had its own foundry. I was reading my father's metallurgy books before I heard of Winnie the Pooh or Andy Pandy. So, please, who thought that Ladle (metallurgy) could not be more than a dictdef? Anthony Appleyard 16:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - merits its own article, even though it's been transwikied. Transwiki doesn't automatically have to mean deletion. Walton monarchist89 16:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep and close per WP:POINT and that the nominator isn't even arguing for deletion. Please, take your issues to the bot and/or it's owner instead of AFD. --Jackhorkheimer 16:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * But who owns or uses User:CopyToWiktionaryBot? I have learned the hard way that a remark in a talk page does not always stop a running deletion process. Anthony Appleyard 17:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep I'm not really sure the real reason for this, so what if it's been transwikied, it can be both a definition and an article. No reason for this one to be deleted! SkierRMH 00:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
