Seemingly pointless list that would be better as a category or infobox. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 00:18, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment what is being meant by "elemental"? 65.94.69.242 (talk) 04:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Cleaning agent. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This was originally posted at List of cleaning agents, but then moved by its creator to the present title. I don't get what "elemental" is supposed to mean here. All of the listed cleaning agents are chemical compounds, of course, and I doubt there are any cleaning agents that aren't. If Cleaning agent can incorporate this short, unannotated list, that would be the best result. Probably should be moved back to List of cleaning agents, then redirected to cleaning agent, and List of elemental cleaning agents then deleted as a useless redirect. postdlf (talk) 16:04, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge to Cleaning agent. It is unclear what is "elemental" (it's been a long time since my last chemistry class, but wouldn't this be about single elements and not compounds?), but even then, I don't think we need a list outside of the Cleaning agent article.

Delete. Pure OR. No one else describes cleaning products as combinations of cleaning elements. No content worthy of merging anywhere. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Cleaning agent. Perhaps a List of cleaning agents could be useful, but this "elemental" title makes no sense. But since Cleaning agents is so short, I think it would make the most sense to merge for the time being. Scientific29 (talk) 20:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
