Delete My PROD was removed with no improvement. No indication this generic standard is notable – there's a lot of standards out there and would need sources and explanation beyond statement of existence. Reywas92^Talk 13:46, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Standards Australia - Follow-on to AS3959. Even with good sourcing (which this does not have), the subject does not pass WP:GNG. It clearly fails WP:SIGCOV and nothing else points to notability. This is an individual standard that, as important as it may be in specific circumstances, is simply not that notable.

Comment. Many standards, including this one, are adopted by government agencies and therefore have the force of law. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The result would be identical if it were an actual law. On its own, it is simply not notable. The Standards Australia article is the right home for this info. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This does not make them notable in and of themselves. Please refer to WP:KITCHENSINK. Wikipedia is not a random collection of information. TarnishedPath^talk 00:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I could not find any coverage that would meet GNG. The fact that many standards have the force of law is irrelevant to satisfying GNG. LibStar (talk) 04:48, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to hydrostatic test, seems the more appropriate redirect. Deus et lex (talk) 05:50, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
