===[[Elliptical polarization]]===
This stub is almost a dictdef; subject already covered at length and in detail in [[Polarization]] (elliptical polarisation is somewhat of a tautology, since all forms of polarisation may considered elliptical in electrodynamics, as the stub itself states). Consequently, this article should be deleted. [[User:NicholasTurnbull|NicholasTurnbull]] 02:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' or '''redirect''' to [[polarization]]. It is conceivable that someone would search for this term. [[User:Pburka|Pburka]] 02:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' in its present form. It is helpful to have a little stub like this explain what "elliptical polarization" means; if redirected, the reader would have to wade through a very long article to figure it out. ''"elliptical polarization"'' gets 35,000 ghits, so this exact phrase could well be something readers will search for. [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 05:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
*'''Redirect''' to [[polarization]]. --[[User:Apyule|Apyule]] 13:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' in its present form. Note that linear polarization is a limiting rather than special case of elliptical polarization. --[[User:JahJah|JahJah]] 07:27, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
*'''Redirect''' to [[polarization]]. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]] 18:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. Redirection in this case would be unhelpful, and almost certainly inappropriate, since polarization has so many different applications as shown in [[polarization]]. -[[User:Splash|Splash]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Splash|talk]]</sup></small> 22:46, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
