Silver-indium-cadmium

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was essentially a dicdef, with not enough content for an article; a/c the citation (one technical report) it "is commonly used as control rod material in pressurised water reactors" so I redirected to control rod, sne it's a conceivable search term, but I was reverted. I think it's not appropriate to make articles like this based only on appearance of words in a title. Even were it to be expanded, it would still be a type of control rod.

 * I'm fine with a merge I think. I created the article because it was a red link on the control rod page, as well as on Corium (nuclear reactor). Ethanbas (talk) 03:07, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

 Scholarly sources
 * Keep – A notable topic that has received significant coverage in scholarly sources. Of note is that silver-indium-cadmium is not "a type of control rod" as stated in the nomination; it is a material used in control rods, and it is notable. This stub can be easily expanded, and in my view, allowing potential for expansion of the article is superior to deleting it, particularly since the topic passes WP:GNG. See source examples below, which provide abstracts of scholarly research. North America1000 04:05, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - every one of the references above is talking about control rods made of this mix, and it does not appear to be notable independent of its role in control rods, so it makes sense to redirect. That being said, in an analogous situation we have niobium-titanium, which appears not to be notable independent of superconductors so there is a precedent (or would this be another page that needs reviewed - is this just WP:OTHERSTUFF?).

 * (Update) Redirect to Control rod § Materials which essentially has the same content. I struck my initial keep !vote above. If anyone wants to expand content about silver-indium-cadmium, perhaps it's best done there. If it were to ever be expanded there to the point of becoming too long, it could always be split back out.

 * Redirect to Control rod. This isn't an encyclopedia entry, it's a card-catalog entry. There's no evidence this will be notable for any reason other than as a material for control rods. Power~enwiki (talk) 20:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
