Shape memory coupling

3 sentence article doesn't assert importance, nor define what the device even is, just who manufactures it. superβεεcat 21:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've added an explanatory intro. But merging to Shape memory alloy is a possibility. Gordonofcartoon 23:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (edit conflict) The technique sound encyclopedic; the stuff about the companies does not. I have no idea of notability. Perhaps the first two sentences could be integrated into Shape memory alloy? --Malcolmxl5 23:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The company stuff would need checking, but it looks basically OK. It's certainly notable, but that needs asserting. In Europe the poster child for this technology was its use, as CryoFit, in the Eurofighter Typhoon, but it's been big in military use generally (Must log off now, but I've asked people for advice at shape memory alloy. There's more about it here and here). Gordonofcartoon 00:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WITHDRAW I (as nominator) withdraw this AfD from consideration as I believe that edits have made this into a viable stub (which still needs a lot of work). - superβεεcat 18:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
