DIcdef, but oddly the one cited ref (a dictionary) doesn't agree with the definition in the article; but rather says a "wet room" is a European-style bathroom-with-integrated-shower. Which is a fine thing to have an article about, but I'm not sure "wet room" is the right title, and at any rate this article (falsely, I guess) claims "wet room" means something else. WP:TNT.

  • Comment It needs to be rewritten completely. A "wet room" is literally a walk in shower essentially.--Savonneux (talk) 02:15, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect See the history. This was a redirect for years until a few days ago when this unsourced article replaced it. Restore to the pre-existing redirect. MB 04:09, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It seems very simple to redirect this article to shower, but many wet rooms problems are not linked to showers ... Pano38 (talk) 15:12, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Room which is wet" is not a remotely notable subject. We don't have articles for every possible adjective-noun combination. The only remotely notable thing here is the bathroom architecture, which is adequately covered by the redir. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:39, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to previous. As the article is currently written to just describe any room that is wet, XYZ type articles are generally not considered notable (the exact wikilink escapes my recollection if anyone recalls where it's located). Kingofaces43 (talk) 00:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is easy to find sources such as Kitchen and Bath Design and the concept is used in official building regulations. Andrew D. (talk) 12:54, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • You're missing the point. This can all be covered in the article to which this was previously redirected - if eventually someone expands that section enough, I have no problem with a standalone article on that subject. But the editor who recreated the current page did so in order to change it into a general discussion of rooms and wetness, which is not an encyclopedia-worthy subject.

      • I created this article mainly to focus on the specificity troubles linked to humid rooms (for bath but also in the industry - fish, vegetables ... -). electrical troubles and risk of falling on the floor. Anyway delete it is you think this is not encyclopedic ... Pano38 (talk) 08:18, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
