This article currently consists of material all found in Triboelectric effect, after @Ldm1954:'s overhauls to the pages. The previous material is at [1], and I don't think there's enough material not covered by Triboelectric effect that we can source and salvage. Save for 1 and 2 all sources of that version are primary sources by a small group of people. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, changing to a redirect to Triboelectric effect.

Merge anything useful and redirect to Triboelectric effect. Or keep. This is obviously a verifiable topic and a reasonable search term. The article has been around since 2004, almost 20 years. I'm neutral on whether the material here is better covered in Triboelectric effect or split out here into a separate article, but in any case deletion seems unwarranted. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:07, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, looks like I confused AfD's D for discussion instead of deletion. Aaron Liu (talk) 22:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. Merges and/or redirects are usually discussed on the article's talk page. But some consider a redirect a kind of soft deletion, and if that is controversial among editors, it's reasonable to bring it to AfD. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 18:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as Talk said MICHAEL 942006 (talk) 18:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
