Delete Of course any chemist knows oxidation and reduction, but this is a mere statement that some gases are in a reduced form, not a notable thing in itself. Reywas92^Talk 14:27, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you / someone reading this incorporate the "reduced gas" entry into the redox entry? --The Cunctator (talk) 18:58, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect The term "Reduced gas" is actually often found in the context of inerting systems, such as those used on tankers to prevent explosions. However, it seems that its already covered by Reducing atmosphere. Given that its already covered extensively, and the current article is a single sentence, might as well just redirect it to Reducing atmosphere.

- @BrxBrx: Isn't a reduced gas the opposite of a reducing atmosphere? I can't quite figure out where the def of a reduced gas would fit in that entry. --The Cunctator (talk) 01:20, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well a reduced gas would be a reducing agent for some other species from what it appears to be in the context of oil and whatnot. Certainly methane would be quite a strong reducing agent if you were transporting rust. BrxBrx(talk)^{(please reply with {{SUBST:re|BrxBrx}})} 03:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
deleteThe article is superfluous and impossible to expand upon. Redirect doesn't seem necessary since it is such a generic and unclear term. --Tautomers_{(T C)} 18:18, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect I don't understand the chemistry definitions to know exactly where this should redirect but it would be silly to delete. --The Cunctator (talk) 01:20, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
