Optical power

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

looks like made up term, may merge to optical article. I+delete+things+alot (talk) 06:48, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is not a made up term, and the definition is supported by a reference to a reliable source. Any textbook on optics will also cover this. Redirecting to the main optics article would not, in any case, be appropriate. This is an article on a specific topic within optics. --Srleffler (talk) 17:34, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. It's a really common term that is taught in school physics lessons. Concerned about this user's recent propensity to open frivolous AfDs. Please take more care in making sure that articles are appropriate for AfD. Cowlibob (talk) 15:15, 28 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep This is a well-known term in optics; it is something taught in the optics section of most basic physics classes. An eyeglass prescription is usually in diopters, the units of optical power. While the article could be developed and more references cited, this is a quite notable topic and there is no reason to delete. --Mark viking (talk) 19:59, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
