Vapour pressure of water[edit]
It's just a list of the vapor pressure of water at different temperatures. It might be possible to merge it somewhere, but I doubt it would be useful. TimBentley (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This kind of information is useful in scientific and engineering fields. It should be kept on a Wikimedia Foundation project. So the question is, is Wikipedia the right project, or should it go on another? Fg2 07:33, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - while both wikibooks and wikiversity have chemistry and physics materials (so it might be transwikied), this actually strikes me as encyclopedic. It could use some text added to explain what this all means though (I haven't the faintest idea what the vapor pressure of a liquid might refer to). --SB_Johnny|talk|books 13:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Vapor pressure might provide some context for those considering this AfD. No opinion yet. Michael Kinyon 16:38, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I doubt a sane engineer would rely on numbers that could be changed by anyone and come from an unknown source. An engineering overview with links to futher information could be useful. Pavel Vozenilek 18:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Sorry to burst your bubble, Pavel, but real-life engineering is often done on the basis of post-it notes and company rumours. Wikipedia tables are above average in credibility. Wikipedia already has lots of data tables, e.g. List of countries by birth rate, and there is no simple reliable equation that can produce these numbers.--Yannick 23:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
