it's just one sentence.Casvdschee (talk) 09:41, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and improve. Or, as an alternative, merge into Thermometer. Vapour pressure thermometers aren't mentioned there yet (at least not by that name). GoldenRing (talk) 13:29, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. No valid reason given for deletion.TheLongTone (talk) 13:34, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or merge what about an article containing 1 sentence is not a reason to delete it? if somebody improves it I will see less reason to delete it but having just one sentence is not enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Casvdschee (talk • contribs) 18:45, 8 May 2014‎

No, an article containing 1 sentence is not a reason to delete it. The deletion guidelines are clear: we delete where an article is incapable of improvement, not where it has not yet been improved. Also, please sign your comments. GoldenRing (talk) 14:50, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oddly enough, even if the article were completely empty, that is not grounds for deletion; note the quote from WP:BEFORE that AioftheStorm posts below. Agyle (talk) 23:22, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, our guidelines are explicit If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD, furthermore nothing about this article seems to meet any of our 14 reasons to delete.AioftheStorm (talk) 03:05, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There are many independent reliable sources with significant coverage about this topic to meet notability guidelines.

The current deficiencies in the Wikipedia article are not grounds for deletion, for reasons discussed before this post. Agyle (talk) 23:22, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
