Multiangle Light Scattering (MALS) and Differential Light Scattering (DLS)

My personal welcome and thank you for creating that article. I would be glad helping with related technical (and scientific) issues there and elsewhere. Three problems are eye catching:

• The article name should be simplified. An obvious thing would be to remove abbreviations from the title, as appropriate in science, but I would go further, rename the article into "Multiangle light scattering" and merge Multi-angle light scattering into there (basically deleting Multi-angle light scattering). I argue that Differential Light Scattering is a minor part of this article and does not have to be in the title, but I would appreciate your opinion before making the moves myself.
• The article refers to missing images. Please discuss possible problems with their upload. If those images can't be uploaded then the article should be rewritten, or otherwise it may even be deleted.
• Commercial links like http://www.wyatt.com/solutions/hardware/ are not tolerated on WP and will be removed.

Best regards. Materialscientist (talk) 00:31, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Multiangle Light Scattering (MALS) and Differential Light Scattering (DLS)

I have nominated Multiangle Light Scattering (MALS) and Differential Light Scattering (DLS), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Multiangle Light Scattering (MALS) and Differential Light Scattering (DLS). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

• • I am almost certain that you posted your deletion discussion on the appropriate deletion talk page last night. Now it is gone. And, I prefer that the discussion be definitive. The speedy deletion result was not definitive; it merely established that deletion needed to be discussed. This means you should participate. BTW congratulations on winning your real life appeal. I'd love to read the relevant opinions. I'm sure they are entertaining.

Thank you very much for the congratulations on the winning of our real life appeal!
