This article was originally deleted via AfD back in March of 2006. When the article was re-created it was tagged with a speedy-repost, but I think it should be re-assessed for the following reasons:
- A lot has changed in terms of environmental awareness in the past two years.
I don't know how many google hits the term "Ecomaterials" got in 2006, but in 2008 it gets about 8,000 (also Ecomaterial and "Eco material"). - The original article was more of an advert for a company that made Ecomaterials (as a trademarked name, I guess), and although the text is essentially the same in the new article, it does not mention the company.
For the record, my position here is Neutral. ... discospinster talk 20:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral-Delete There are copy-paste copyright issues, as most, if not all, of the article is copied from [1]. Also, the lead in says:Ecomaterials is a word that defines
economically viable., but a Google search turns up a variety of definitions for the term, not limited to construction. Overall, I think that ecomaterial is more of a jargon term than a specific topic for an encyclopedia. Maybe it can be documented on Wiktionary. Also, to keep the Google hits thing in perspective, other environment-related concepts, such as ecotourism, get over two million Google hits [2] Phillip (talk) 20:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Although this should be deleted because of copyright violation. Perhaps it could be rewritten as a good article using sources found on Google. Not sure who wants to do it though. Just a thought. t 03:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
