Absorption isotherm[edit]

There is already another page that contains this informatin in a more complete and acurate form Simsea 03:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And which article would that be? Fagstein 04:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 1: The nominator seems to think (as per the talk page) that this is a content fork of Adsorption. I'll let the resident scientists decide that, as I have no clue about physics, but unless the information is indeed replicated in full, it probably warrants a merge at most.

Comment 2: Note that the nominator has also created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Expansivity (but not linked to it on the article or AfD page), which seems to raise the same concerns about Expansivity with regard to Thermal expansion. For the sake of expeditiveness, we probably should deal with both issues together here.Sandstein 05:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Adsorption per Sandstein. Note also that the article name is misspelled. Fagstein 17:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article is indeed a content fork of Adsorption, which covers both the Langmuir isotherm and the BET isotherm. A merge would not be appropriate because 1) This information is replicated entirely on Adsorption and 2) information here is incorrect, namely the discussion of a desorption isotherm. An isotherm is derived by setting rate of adsorption equal to rate desorption, so there is no desorption isotherm since desorption is already contained in the adsorption isotherm. This article really just needs to be deleted. Simsea 23:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sinsea, in such cases, AfD nomination is not really necessary. Just replace the entire text of Absorption isotherm with #REDIRECT[[Adsorption]]. This will create a redirection page to Adsorption. If the original author of Absorption isotherm has problems with that, he or she will bring them up with you. No need to involve the wider community at this point. However, now you should probably wait until the AfD is over. Sandstein 04:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
