Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baking oven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 217.172.33.72 (talk) at 21:14, 9 May 2006 ([[Baking oven]]). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This page adds nothing to oven, of which it is a subset, already covered there. Any information that could conceivably go here should be there instead. Fnarf999 18:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no deletion reason by policy, which explicitely spells to keep a few lines stub article, if it is expandable. See Mentuhotep_I, this is not going to be merged. I ask to withdraw the deletion. Akidd dublintlctr-l 10:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You can't ask for nomination withdrawal - only the nominator can do that. As for the various bits that you say the oven article doesn't cover - that is why merge has been commonly proposed. That way the information will be saved, but it will stop two articles on near identical subjects growing beside each other, confusing the end reader and splitting the collaborative power in half.

The assertion that the article Oven does not mention food preparation is nonsense. In the very first sentence it says "An oven is an enclosed compartment for heating, baking or drying," and most of the content of the article describes food preparation. The major subhead is entitled "Cooking". It is true that the article is not a particularly good one, but that's why it has an expand tag. A "baking oven" is not a separate type of oven in the same sense that a "microwave oven" or a "dutch oven" is. Fnarf999 16:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Right, i do not insist to keep it, just it does not bug much (it is NPOV). I missed the oven article spelling the difference between industrial furnace, baking oven (for food), and well, they are also into funeral business, wikipedia is not censored not to scare minors. All that gets too much for the oven article, or it gets something like transformer. This one is not even complete, and definetively will require a split up some day. Nothing wrong with including a few pictures, disk space has become affordable recently. Consider this, and generally articles may expand quickly, and split-up makes sense sometimes.
By the way i browsed other deletion proposals. Probably it makes a difference who suggested it for Afd. If it is not myself, i am entitled (by sampling other deletions) to make defending comments. User:Akidd_dublin 9 may 2006
