• Antibubble - vanity advert to web page - Texture 20:02, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Google turns up a lot of hits for antibubble. The link is related and non-commercial--it just tells what an antibubble is and how to make one. Just stubbish for now. —Frecklefoot 20:26, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • I don't consider a couple hundred to be a "lot of hits". Multiples are the web site itself. - Texture 20:30, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • KEep. Ap[ears to be a legitimate scientific phenomenon--Mishac 20:34, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Threaten (new, unapproved response)Keep, as fixed. I'm not in the no-stubs school, but this really is just a stub that's a vanity advert to a web page for a phenomenon that's valid material (assuming it's not BS). So delete it unless it turns into something else. I'd accept even a good stub that says something about the matter, but this is not a good or acceptable stub. Dandrake 20:45, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)
    • I change my vote to "Endangered" - Texture 20:47, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • Then shouldn't it be in cleanup not VfD? Andrewa 20:51, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
        • No, I define the new term "Endangered" as in need of really fast delete as a single website's quack theories... :) - Texture 21:21, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a very common phenomenon, and anyone washing dishes in soapy water has seen them even if they didn't know what they were (they look a great deal like air bubbles - what gives them away is the speed at which they move). They're easy to make once you know how. Denni 21:41, 2004 Feb 20 (UTC)
    • I've just finished reworking this page. Anyone not believing antibubbles exist can now go make their own. Denni 22:39, 2004 Feb 20 (UTC)
  • Keep. There was a long piece about this in Slashdot recently... it's a real phenomenon of legitimate interest. Dpbsmith 16:45, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Sorry, it wasn't my intention to advertise. The site mentioned isn't anything to do with me, but I thought it was a genuine resource for further info.
    • It's a legitimate external link, and the photos are great. Denni
    • Agree. I've just looked at it, and I think it's a fine site and a highly appropriate external link. In fact, I'd read articles about antibubbles before but only just realized now that I've seen them for years--we had a drip coffeemaker that produced them regularly. You'd see little droplets skimming across the surface of the brew before sinking in. Dpbsmith 00:47, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Awesome! Keep. BL 10:22, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it. Why this is even on VfD is far beyond me. Xoder 22:11, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Interesting and relevant.Doovinator 19:56, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it. Antibubbles are awesome. Also, my science teacher's sink faucet has something resembling an antibubble that comes out of it if you run it really slow, it's awesome.

References

I am a bit late getting in on the delete discussion but I added references to scientific literature about antibubbles as a valid physics phenomena.

Links

The link "Advanced Physics Forums: Antibubble" does not work. It links to "http://www.advancedphysics.org/viewthread.php?tid=235" which shows a 404 error. I believe that links to forums are often unreliable due to the fact that older threads are deleted periodically. Astrangequark 16:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
