Copper loss

I considered boldly redirecting, but I am not entirely sure this should not be outright deleted; moreover there are multiple potential targets (I also considered redirecting and bringing it to WP:RFD).

Most of the content is duplicate of Joule heating as it seems this is just the application of JH to transformers. The only ref is a WP clone (articleworld).

I could find some mentions of the term online, though not much, in the context of transformers, in which case redirecting to Transformer#Energy_losses would be adequate. If the term exists in a larger context, Joule_heating#Power_loss_and_noise is a more suitable target. Finally, there is also Magnetic_core#Core_loss (to which Iron loss currently redirects).

In any case, I am not convinced this deserves a standalone article.

~~For the same reason of content organization, I will leave a note at WP:RFD, and I nominate the following redirect:~~

At second thought, the bundling looks like a poor idea, considering the number of incoming links to iron loss. So I withdraw that, let us discuss on separate pages. I recommend redirection to Transformer#Energy_losses. RFD discussion here. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 16:02, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You'd probably be fine, there are only 5 article mainspace links, most of the rest are user/user talk pages Tpdwkouaa (talk) 16:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - to Transformer#Energy_losses, subsection "Winding joule losses". It does not relate to Iron loss as that is about the losses in the core material, not the windings. The transformer article can use the content as the Core losses section also has the formula to calculate the loss. DeVerm (talk) 21:12, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Transformer#Energy_losses, subsection "Winding joule losses". This article is just about the resistive power loss in the windings, typically made of copper. There isn't a great deal to say about it, and it is best discussed in the context of other transformer losses. --Mark viking (talk) 09:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Transformer is already quite a large article and should not be further expanded with peripheral details. "Copper loss" is a well known term, and readers searching for it would be better served by having an article directly addressing the subject. --R. S. Shaw (talk) 18:57, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are far more shitty articles on WP worthy of deletion than this.--178.103.190.96 (talk) 23:28, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
