• Keep or merge: This article doesn't seem to meet any of the WP:DEL-REASON criteria and AfD is not a merge process, so this seems to be a flawed nomination. The topic appears notable and I added a reference. It's just a week old, so it needs some time for organic growth. Praemonitus (talk) 20:51, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
• Snow Keep - This is a valid stub article, and the topic that has received significant coverage in reliable sources; the topic easily passes WP:GNG. Source examples include, but are certainly not limited to:

• Keep With nice improvements and added sources to the article by Northamerica1000 and an added source by Praemonitus, the topic has been shown to be the subject of multiple in-depth reliable sources and so passes notability guidelines per WP:GNG. The article is still young, but has no major problems to overcome. A notable topic and no major problems suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 03:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep The article was created two days after I created the stub aluminium powder. The author seems to be the CEO of a company which works in this field (Synergy Aluminium). Perhaps my action triggered his due to some sort of search service. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. Anyway, aluminium flakes, granules and powders are quite a notable topic and so this is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion per our editing policy. The nomination does not even call for deletion and so this discussion should be speedily closed per WP:SK. Warden (talk) 10:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
