*'''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.

::: {{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. <font color="green">[[User:WikiDan61|WikiDan61]]</font><font color="green" size="5px"></font>^{[[User talk:WikiDan61|ChatMe!]]}_{[[Special:Contributions/WikiDan61|ReadMe!!]]} 17:33, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

::::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)

*'''Merge''' into [[Selenium]] by a knowledgeable and impartial editor, as some of the citations in [[Optical properties of selenium]] may be worth keeping. &nbsp;&nbsp;<b>~</b>&nbsp;<font style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16px;">[[User:Tom.Reding|Tom.Reding]] ([[User talk:Tom.Reding|talk]] ⋅[[WP:DGAF|dgaf]])</font>&nbsp; 16:41, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

* '''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.
