Chemists' Ring[edit]

Best I can tell this is a type of ring issued only by a single university rather than as the article suggests something that is in wider use. The design is also inconsistent with something that sees much use. It looks rather uncomfortable and the shape also makes it tricky to wear nitrile gloves something chemists do rather a lot. ©Geni 11:21, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This ring is from the Association of the Chemical Profession of Alberta which does not have it's own article on Wikipedia so there's no target for any merge. The ring itself has not had significant coverage in reliable sources. I'm guessing this is something inspired by the Iron Ring of the Canadian professional engineers. It isn't issued by a single university. It is issued by the ACPA. See [1], and [2]. -- Whpq (talk) 16:16, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
