Oxidation base
Page was previously tagged for speedy deletion, due to absolutely errant information contained. Another user, Snoutwood, disagreed with my reasoning, and removed the tag. Essentially, we have differing interpretations on what constitutes Patent Nonsense.

Based on our exchange regarding the subject, we are in agreement that it is best that the entry be tagged for AfD.

To avoid repetition, part of the discussion is posted on my my talk page; the rest of the discourse may be perused at Snoutwood's talk page. --Folajimi 19:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I am not familiar with the chemistry articles on dyes (although a chemist), but it may be that some of this article, if corrected, could be merged somewhere else. Otherwise since it is wrong it should be deleted. --Bduke 23:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I note also that Dye links here and says that "Oxidation bases, for mainly hair and fur" as a class of dyes, which it appears to be not. Note that "hair and fur" is contrary to what is mentioned in the article. --Bduke 23:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep distinctive. meets test and standards. Newyorktimescrossword 02:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge with dye (with redirect?) unless it is expanded and the author provides a citation. Otherwise it is fairly useless and factually questionable.--Nick Y. 21:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to dye, there shouldn't be an article at this title. This is not a keep vote. Stifle (talk) 14:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to dye. If anything here is accurate, it might be added to dye, but that's a separate issue.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 22:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
