The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Viscosity. Although several votes were to keep, almost all of them were based on opinion; therefore this will be redirected for the timebeing per WP:SYNTH and WP:LISTN. If you feel that there may be an issue, please see WP:DRV. (non-admin closure) FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 21:46, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article fails WP:LISTN.Synthesis of data. And, if someone do manage to find such trivial list(s) in high-school/undergrad science text-book (which often have them to provide an indicative idea of the vastness of the real range of a physical quantity), we are not one.We are an encyclopedia. ∯WBGconverse 06:10, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This article is part of a set – see the following navigational template. It doesn't make sense to consider this in isolation when other members of the set have been extensively discussed and kept previously. For example, see RfC, AfD. Also, it doesn't seem fair to be nominating this article for deletion as a reprisal for an editor's !vote at RfA – see WP:HOUND. Andrew D. (talk) 11:14, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • KeepThis article seems helpful to a student trying to get a grasp of the topic. Various online sources certainly list things from very low to very high viscosity, and it is helpful to learn that seeming solids can even be characterized in this way. Learning that the viscosity of substance X is some number is not as informative as seeing how that number compares to water, oil or putty. Edison (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:ITSUSEFUL.Additionally, allmost all sources, (I have read), do only provide a table about the viscosity of common substances, sorted in an ascending/descending order rather than trying their hands at defining the range of values of viscosity, in real life.The one over here, might comprise of same elements but is entirely on a different theme.Such lists can be easily accommodated at Viscosity. ∯WBGconverse 05:01, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please provide multiple sources that covers the topic of order of magnitude of viscosity (not range of voltage) in a significant manner.∯WBGconverse 20:04, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
