 * Redirect to Light pollution. The article deals with the same subject as Light pollution. And the article has a writing very close to the argumentative dissertation, something inappropriate for an encyclopedia. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 00:30, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Light pollution as substantially the same topic. - Such-change47 (talk) 02:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Light pollution, unless you're a Springsteen or Manfred Mann fan, in which case redirect to "Blinded by the Light" . Clarityfiend (talk) 07:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - this article appears to deal with primarily indoor lighting, while Light pollution is generally used to refer to outdoor lighting. In other words, Overillumination is an architectural topic affecting the health, comfort, and performance of individuals within a limited boundary, while Light pollution is a concern affecting wildlife and the larger community. Wouldn’t a Merge of those two articles be more unwieldy than the status quo?
 * The definition in Light pollution specifically includes indoor lighting: "The term is most commonly used in relation to in the outdoor environment and surrounding, but is also used to refer to artificial light indoors." Also, there's already a Light pollution subsection. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)


 * (This article is 15 years old with well over 500 edits. Instead of deletion, if the consensus is that the article is un-salvageable, why not just reverted it to an earlier version, or even back to the original version from 2006?) Jim Grisham (talk) 05:44, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a real topic, tho its written a polemic essay and needs improvement. For example, the illustration include at least one where the lighting is being used deliberately for highlighting merchandise, not outof misdesign or indifference. . The original version has become   outdated by technology.   DGG ( talk ) 07:02, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
