The result was redirect to Calibration. Content, what little there is, can be merged at editorial discretion to Calibration. I'm inlcined to delete this article as it manages to get "zeroing" wrong and relate it to scales without using the word 'tare', even as a contrast. However, consensus is to redirect.

This neologism doesn't balance when it comes to notability. Anyone care to "weigh in" on this? Ecoleetage (talk) 01:10, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment "zeroing" can apply to almost any measurement device, not just a balance. It's basically calibration to the null reading. As it stands I think the article is too focused on one case of this. However it seems a bit definition-y. Couldn't the one sentence the article consists of go into the scale article?

- Delete. At best a dictionary definition, so fails WP:NOT. Equendil Talk 09:43, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Calibration. Not enough topic for more than a dicdef; Calibration article needs expansion anyway; and a redirect would be useful because many instruments have only this single calibration point. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Calibration, it can be mentioned in that article. As a separate article it is unlikely to become more than a dictionary definition. --Snigbrook (talk) 19:56, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
