Keep, not really any valid reason for deletion given, and body powder seems to be a topic of discussion in the medical field [1] Geschichte (talk) 08:34, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources cited (which I don't have access to) appear to only refer to the subject tangentially; I'm having a hard time verifying the claim that "body powder" is an alternative to talcum powder (more likely that talcum powder is a type of body powder). The reference mentioned by Geschichte is a conference abstract and therefore not RS. Since the article is little more than a dictionary definition and does not cite any significant source, this seems like a delete to me. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 01:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge into talcum powder, if applicable. Doesn't need to be it's own article. TheBritinator (talk) 16:47, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TheBritinator, that Merge is impossible because talcum powder is a Redirect, not an article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, hence why I said if applicable. Otherwise I'd just say Delete. TheBritinator (talk) 03:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
