The content of Micro-flow imaging was merged into Imaging particle analysis on 23 January 2017. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Proposed merge with Micro-flow imaging

It looks to me as these are one and the same thing, but an expert opinion would be appreciated. Derek Andrews (talk) 19:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: proposed merge with Micro-flow imaging: Micro-flow imaging (MFI) is a trademarked name for a brand of dynamic imaging particle analysis system. Since it is a vendor-specific trademarked name for a product, I do not believe it should be merged into this general category. Rather, that article should reference this page as an example of this type of system Fsixtyfour 14:07, 17 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsixtyfour (talk • contribs)

Support merge. Calling something by another name doesn't mean that it needs to have a separate page - it could easily be accommodated on the same page as Imaging particle analysis. Even if it is a trademarked name (do we have evidence for this?), a trademark alone does not make it independently notable. The Sharma et al. (2010) paper doesn't refer to MFI as a trademarked term.
