[edit]

How are articles nominated for deletion - and why was this article nominated?

What are some approaches to fix this article so it is not connected to people personally or professionally connected? Just better sourcing?


thanks

Hey. If you go read the archived discussion posted under "the discussion" link, it goes more into depth on why some editors think it should be deleted or changed.
Since the original article approval, and since the discussion, the article has been renamed from Polyarc reactor to a more general, industry-specific name of post column oxidation-reduction reactor. The name was originally attached to a trademarked, professional product. Therefore, in the interest of being a neutral, impartial encyclopedia, using brand names in industrial processes is bad.
As for the way forward, without digging deep into it, would probably be more external, meaningful references; less pointed language that could be construed towards a company's specific product, and overall a change in tone from "Buy this product because XYZ" to a tone of "this product/process completes XYZ." Possibly a mention of a patent-holding designer/company, but again, not in the way of promotion. A good example of this is the Diesel engine. While its common for everyone to call it the diesel engine after the last 100 years of existence, the name is derived from the inventor's last name rather a name describing the actual physical process (which is mentioned in the first paragraph of the article) ChemicalBear (talk) 20:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
