Talk:Platforming

Discuss proposed merger here

The Catalytic reformer, Catalytic reforming and Platforming articles cover exactly the same subject. They need to be merged into a single article ... by an expert who knows the subject from actual real-world experience, not just from reading reference publications or books. - mbeychok 06:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I support a merge, but I think that the final article name should be catalytic reforming. Platforming is ambiguous. Catalytic reformer is okay, but all other things being equal, I think that the name of the process is better than the name of the equipment. Also, Google turns up far more results for "catalytic reforming" than "catalytic reformer", so things apparently are not even equal. -- Kjkolb 12:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I just completed the merger and major expansion of the the three articles. The merged article is named Catalytic reforming. Platforming and Catalytic reformer now re-direct to Catalytic reforming. The Catalysts and Mechanisms section remains to be done and I will ask User:Smokefoot to write that section. Happy Holidays to all! - mbeychok 06:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
