Material

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Furthermore, there is already a decent article on raw material as well as other types of material (see material (disambiguation)). Just "material" in general is far too broad of a subject for any single article to add anything other than a dictionary definition or information that is duplicated in other, more specific articles.

 * Delete per nom. Not much of any substance here. Best to move Material (disambiguation) into the soon-to-be vacant spot. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Most of it is about raw materials which already have an article (although it's not a very good article, lacking references); it also mentions materials science which is included on the disambiguation page; much of the lead is dictionary definition stuff. Would be better if editors focused on improving raw material. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
