Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Multiplication factor

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was MERGE.

The preponderance of votes were actually to "merge and delete" however, this would violate the requirement in GFDL to preserve the history of contributions. Accordingly, this will be "merged and redirected".

Comment: As of 00:16, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC), the specific use of and definition of the phrase "multiplication factor" was added and then edited out of the Digital photography section of the article and replaced with an equivalent description. Future edits should be made in the digital photography article unless and until the specific topic of "multiplication factor" becomes large enough to break out into a separate article. Rossami (talk)

Multiplication factor
Describes an extremely specific item that does not deserve an encyclopedia article. Moreover, the title is misleading and horribly imprecise. --Phils 21:14, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * vote to delete. wrong title, and this should be one sentence in an article about cameras or some such. Morris 23:03, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * It's function is like a footnote explaining the term on the page digital photography (Thank you "What links here"). Turn it into an actual footnote on the same page. Redirect wouldn't be helpful, but there might be scope for an article explaining multiplication factors in different fields, like converting units or nuclear chain reactions.
