Panel Edge Staining

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

A article with no third-party references to assert notability. Wizard191 (talk) 20:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, while I have no doubt that the phenomenon is real, I can't find any evidence that this term is used to describe it in the industry, nor that it's notable. Pburka (talk) 21:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing vote in light of the references found by Colonel Warden and Phil Bridger. Pburka (talk) 03:35, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is no coverage in reliable sources. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  16:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Sourcing is easy - see Corrosion of aluminum and aluminum alloys, for example. The rest is a matter of editing in accordance with our policy. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm at a loss, I don't see where it says "panel edge staining" in that source. Wizard191 (talk) 17:50, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The source talks about the weathering of aluminum siding which is essentially the same topic. Note that it is our policy that Wikipedia is not a dictionary and so we cover topics based upon their meaning, not the exact words used to describe them. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:57, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand your point about the topic vs. title, but how do we know that "panel edge staining" is the proper term for this phenomenon if we don't have a RS? This definitely doesn't fall under common knowledge. I'm cool with merging the topic into anodizing or aluminum based off the ref you supplied (probably the former more than the latter).

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. There's plenty more coverage of this phenomenon in the book Staining of facades. The main objection to this article seems to be its title, which can easily be changed to something more descriptive such as "Aluminium panel staining". Phil Bridger (talk) 09:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
