Waterproofing
Dicdef. Couldn't really be expanded, I don't think. smoddy 12:01, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * There's a lot more to be done here.
 * At present a dicdef yes. But I think there is some possibility for expansion (methods of waterproofing for instance). I will vote a weak keep on this one. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:12, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for same reasons as listed in the vote above. Jtkiefer 12:20, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Extreme potential for expansion. I wonder how many patents have been granted in this field. Kappa 14:10, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd be willing to bet that a lot of waterproofing patents have been issued.  The USPTO grants many patents, many of which should be invalidated because of prior art, basic scientific error, technical infeasibility, or simply not being legitimate subject for patents (e.g. basic software interaction methods).  Nonetheless, such a search would support the implied point that waterproofing is an area widely considered significant and worthy of attention.  Meaningful things beyond a dicdef can be written and verified.  Keep and expand.  Barno 19:49, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Sjakkalle. 209.106.0.250 15:18, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, can certainly be expanded but would need a tag to encourage this. Being of technical mind, I can see an opening for ingress protection for example. -Splash 16:29, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Definite potential for expansion such as methods of waterproofing and applications. Capitalistroadster 18:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per Capitalstroadster. Falphin 00:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Encyclopedic topic. JamesBurns 06:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep and expansify Yuckfoo 18:34, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
