Another dicdef by anon User:24.218.52.116, redirect to material (material is materiel in French), or expand? Dunc Harris | Talk 09:42, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
 * No. "Materiel" is an English word with a very different meaning than "material." I suggest redirect to Military technology and equipment. -- Wikisux 20:33, 31 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Not happy about the redirect (which appears to have, uh, 'appeared'). "Materiel" is also consistently used in non-military dostribution companies too. The redirect now takes it to a page that (sfaict) doesn't include the term nor explain why it has been divererted there. Will undertake to create a proper entry. --VampWillow 12:26, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * Keep. I think materiel is suitable topic to have an article on.  It has a much wider scope than material, so should not be redirected.  -- Popsracer 05:33, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is a good concept to illuminate when everyone not exposed to commercial goods flow thinks you're simply misspelling. (Personal axe: my father's title was "Manager of traffic, distribution, and materiel.") Okay, now I've massaged the article some. --Gary D 23:43, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
