- Keep This is an easy call. A google search quickly reveals that "freebasing" is most commonly used in connection with drug use. This is supported by several online dictionary entries like this one: [1]. More over I was able to find more than enough reliable secondary sources to establish notability and I have added two of them [2] and [3] to the article in an external links section. I have also tried to correct some of the more egregious formatting errors in the article as well. Rusty Cashman (talk) 21:16, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Further note that the sources I found can be used to support most of the content in the article. I will go back later and try and see what can be used for specific inline referencers. Rusty Cashman (talk) 21:22, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep i would be very surprised to learn that any other use of this term is very prevalent. probably mostly in the chemical industry. and i have no doubt the article can be better sourced, expanded, etc, which is not the issue debated here, only notability.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:51, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The nomination provides no policy or guideline-based reason for deleting. Freebasing is a notable part of drug abuse, covered in multiple books viewable at Google book search, such as: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9]. Numerous sources at Google News Archive also have significant coverage of freebasing. Easily satisfies notability. Edison (talk) 01:57, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
