Properties of MSW

An interesting subject, but this looks like someone copied and pasted an engineering paper. Wikipedia is not a textbook or a scientific journal. KuyaBriBri Talk 17:07, 1 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 02:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Preserve at a subpage of the talk page of municipal solid waste and delete the resulting redirect. There probably is information here that would be useful for editors seeking to improve that article. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Merge some of this information into Municipal Solid Waste. It's actually an interesting article, but it reads like a municipal public works study and seems to be a synthesis of original research.  Also, I've never heard of a page called "Properties of X."  Seems like that's what the article on X should be about. --Glenfarclas (talk) 12:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge I agree with the merge proposal, or add as subpage to talk page per Smerdis. Some potentially interesting material, but with a single inline reference, so needs work before it can be pulled into the other article. That would also help alleviate the concern about a possible copy and paste.-- SPhilbrick  T  15:38, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge seems like a good solution, but if we're going to delete the redirect (which also seems reasonable), then presumably a history merge will be needed, which could get ugly because the two articles have overlapping histories. --RL0919 (talk) 01:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
