Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Engineering. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Engineering|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Engineering. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Engineering

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎. I see a consensus to Keep this article. Liz Read! Talk! 22:51, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page on a young Materials Scientist which claims that he is a mathematician, but has only published on polymers. According to this page he was in the Department of Chemical, Polymer and Silicate Engineering described here. While there are claims that he is a Professor, the relevant staff page does not currently verify this. Page makes many claims, for instance 200 scholarly works but he only has an h-factor of 13. (An h-factor of 13 is at about the level of a senior postdoc in Materials Science, to at most a starting assistant professor. If he was truly a mathematician then an h-factor of 13 might be acceptable.) Page has major refbombing and a fair amount of peacock. No indications of anything close to a pass of WP:NPROF on any count, or any other notability criteria. Page was previously PROD by nom, then indirectly challenged by Jars World here.

  • Keep Per WP:NACADEMIC: The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level, which in Ivitskiy's case is the President of Ukraine’s Prize for Young Scientists. Antoine le Deuxième (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral but lean Keep. Mostly commenting that "Young X" awards don't contribute towards WP:PROF notability when they're at the High-School, College, etc. level; they DO contribute, however, when "young" means post-doctoral and early-mid-career level. This one was earned around age 29, so looks more like the later, and can fairly be considered a WP:PROF pass; but the citation count, etc. just doesn't fully pass the "smell-test" expected if the award were really that prestigious, hence staying neutral. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 23:03, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    With apologies Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert, but I think you are misreading WP:NPROF#C2. The text in the notes is quite clear that these need to be major, senior awards. Examples would be the named awards from major national or international societies, in his case an example would be one of the awards of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, as that is his PhD and academic research field (not mathematics). Junior or mid career awards indicate good progress, but alone rarely to never qualify at AfDs I have seen, particularly outside of mathematics. Since his citations are weak there is not a cumulative pass with a synergistic combination. Ldm1954 (talk) 04:08, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per GNG, young scientists' awards, and the overall good media coverage, I would count awards by the president and the government as the notability check for living people, thus proving they pass GNG.--Killviconiborki (talk) 09:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep subject meets WP:NACADEMIC through the President of Ukraine's Prize for Young Scientists, a prestigious national academic honor. Combined with his work at the National Academy of Sciences, and other stuff this more or less meet notability criteria. Once upon a daylight dreary (talk) 14:48, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect‎ to Inductance#Mutual inductance or any other target. The consensus is fairly clear that the article should Not Be Here any more: I am going to make an editorial decision to pick one of the proposed targets; if anyone prefers one of the other ones, like Faraday's law of induction, Electromagnetic induction, or just transformer (or sections thereof like § Transformer emf or Electromagnetic induction § Electrical transformer) or even something not mentioned here, please feel free to address it through standard editorial processes (e.g., BRD, etc) or list it at RfD. I am declaring the exact target of redirects Not AfD's Problem, since there are other venues for that and there's not much discussing of it going on here any more anyway.

Transformer effect

Mutual inductance and Inductive coupling already have much more information here. The transformer effect certainly is not the WP:COMMONNAME for this, either. DeemDeem52 (talk) 16:12, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment on Mutual inductance: The original intent of the author of the WP article does not matter, especially when the assertion that "transformer effect" is synonymous with mutual induction is unsourced. It is more important how the term is used in the literature. L.V. Kite (1974) An introduction to linear electric circuits discusses mutual inductance and says The phenomenon we have discussed here is the is the transformer effect. It occurs in circuits which are fixed in position, and should not be confused with the related phenomenon known as the dynamo effect, which depends for its existence on relative motion. This does not yet tell us whether he considers transformer effect synonymous with mutual inductance or whether it is more general phenomenon. However, he also says later that self induction [...] is obviously an additional manifestation of transformer effect. Here's another source that considers self-inductance in connection with the transformer effect: [3]. This indicates that Mutual inductance is a narrower concept than the transformer effect. Anyway, this is such a niche term that I am not strongly opposed to Mutual inductance as a target if it helps closing the AfD, since mutual inductance does lead the reader to the general topic area.
