 * Delete. It would be better for the nominator to state the reason for deletion in English. In particular I can't see any relevance for WP:NOT PAPER here. Having got that off my chest this is clearly not a notable topic. I can't find any reliable sources that use this term in this manner, rather than contain an accidental juxtaposition of the words "over" and "arcing", apart from the patent linked in the article which is a primary source.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Sorry, just a gnome and have never nominated something for deletion before and wasn't sure what to write. (Have removed WP:NOT PAPER.) You expressed precisely my thoughts, though. I stumbled upon the entry because I was Googling the difference between "overarcing" and "overarching". The latter is correct usage. The former is a non-word except for this specific engineering thing, which is definitely not notable. StringRay (talk) 19:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
