:({{Find sources AFD|Optical properties of selenium}})
The purpose of this article appears less to give the optical (and thermoanalytical, electrical and dielectric) properties of selenium (of which if actually provides scant information), and more to describe the research methods that a certain researcher has used to ascertain those properties, and largely to hang a bunch of citations to the author's own papers. The topic of the article (various physical properties of selenium) would be better covered within the body of the [[selenium]] article itself.

*'''Redirect''' to [[selenium]]. I'm not really seeing much worthwhile for a merge since it's mostly just being used to self-cite, so just redirecting should be fine. [[User:Kingofaces43|Kingofaces43]] ([[User talk:Kingofaces43|talk]]) 16:24, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
::I'll also clarify due to some comments below for a merge that I did look over the article having a chemistry background, and I didn't find anything really relevant to merge. It was all pretty much just [[WP:COATRACK]] content not really talking about optical properties (even though the text sounds technical), but instead saying certain experiments have used selenium tangentially. [[User:Kingofaces43|Kingofaces43]] ([[User talk:Kingofaces43|talk]]) 17:13, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Kingofaces43}} I wouldn't characterize the experiments as "having used selenium tangentially" -- the research carried out by Jafar et al appears to involve investigating the nature of selenium thin films as used (or potentially used) in various applications (smart phone screens, imaging sensors, etc.) But the article doesn't actually report any of the research findings, instead concentrating on the research methodology.
::::That's essentially what I was referring to in that there's nothing really in the article itself that's feasible for a merge. [[User:Kingofaces43|Kingofaces43]] ([[User talk:Kingofaces43|talk]]) 17:40, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
:::::The ''Wikipedia article'' that currently exists has little to merge, but the ''references'' from there may be useful.

*'''Merge''' into [[Selenium]] by a knowledgeable and impartial editor, as some of the citations in [[Optical properties of selenium]] may be worth keeping. <b>~</b> <
* '''Merge''' as above. The evident COI in 6 of the citations indicates the likelihood of bias and indeed overtechnicality. The properties of a thing are, well, core to its being and equally core to the main article, which is [[selenium]]. We won't need to talk much about the properties, just to name and cite them, and the main article is the place for that. By the way, nom, a merger doesn't require to be brought to AfD.

::6 out of 16 is evident COI. if the article was writen by any other person, it will still refer to these exact six citations. it is like saying there are too many Hawking citations in the black hole radiation article! --[[User:Tarawneh|Tarawneh]] ([[User talk:Tarawneh|talk]]) 19:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

*Side note: the article content was copied into [[Draft:Physical_properties_of_lead_iodide]]. Not sure what to make of it. On its face it is a new user copying a current article as a template to make their own, but I have a hard time to believe they found the article under discussion here by chance.

*'''Merge''' to the extent of adding some of the content to [[Selenium#Physical_properties]], and evaluating the worth of the references and porting over what's topical and relevant of these (slimming down the over-representation of that single work group). As it stands, this reads like the abstract of a methods paper - not material that requires its own article. --<span style="font-family:Courier">[[User:Elmidae|Elmidae]]</span> <small>([[User talk:Elmidae|talk]] · [[Special:contributions/Elmidae|contribs]])</small> 10:34, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
