Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because

it is about a material with the potential to become widely used
it is about a new use for a waste product
it does not actually match criterion A7 (the topic is not a real person, individual animal, organization, web content or organized event).

I'm not dead set against deletion, but I'd like to hear a few arguments first. --NJisHere (talk) 13:35, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because this is a notable material that wikipedia needs an article about. I read about it in a Danish news outlet and wanted to read more about it for which reason I came here. This is not a legitimate candidate for speedy deletion. --·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:30, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. Interesting and cited hook fact. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ad?[edit]

This would work as a press release for the manufacturer, if you shortened the intro slightly. As far as one can tell from this article, it's just a promo for a company that has yet to actually sell any products. IAmNitpicking (talk) 14:31, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
