The result was redirect to Energy rate density. There are convincing arguments that unsourced and contested content shouldn't be merged. The redirect allows the merging from history of any content for which reliable sources can be found.  Sandstein  08:54, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Orders of magnitude (energy flow density)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:LISTN. There is no article for Energy flow density, and I can't find reliable sources discussing the list items as a group or set with respect to the term "energy flow density". Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. —  Newslinger  talk   10:25, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Rename to Orders of magnitude (energy rate density), per the article at Energy rate density. This seems to be the intended topic of the table under a different name.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 13:23, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Energy rate density. On second thought, this is a fairly limited table of data that could help beef up the target.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 15:21, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Unsourced messes can't be merged anywhere esp. to a topic that's not same. Pending that, an article on EFD can be created (and which may house a list like this one, shall it be sourced), which is actually far notable than ERD. &#x222F; WBG converse 19:39, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Even better, EFD can be easily covered at Energy Flow. Nothing to create and nothing to merge,atleast from here. &#x222F; WBG converse 19:40, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge into Energy rate density as useful examples. Praemonitus (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * , merge what? Some unsourced/synthesised stuff?! &#x222F; WBG converse 09:13, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge as above, of those items for which sourcing can be found; that would be a win for the merge target too. BTW, top three entries may be sourcable to this: . -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:14, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
