Talk:surface coating

Request for verification
Rfv-sense: IMO, what look like 2 spurious specializations of the real definition: "coating on a surface". You can probably see where I'm going with this. DCDuring TALK 17:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. All three senses just say that a surface coating is a surface coating.    D b f  i  r  s   11:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to rfd per both of you. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * My thought is to give this its month here in case we're missing something, then let the remaining sense go to RfD or be summarily deleted. We might be missing some way the term is used in some specific context, where they might make a distinction, say, between a paint and a coating and/or between a coating applied by a spray which only covers some surfaces and a bath which covers almost everything that is topologically "outside". If no one comes up with support but there actually is such a term, then that won't be the first instance of us not yet having "all1 words2 in3 all4 languages5". If we can't keep a broad enough population of users to include terms that have entered the lexicon in specialized contexts, then we should stop pretending. DCDuring TALK 14:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As an employee of a Home Depot paint department, I must say that this actually is a set phrase, which is used to mean specific coatings. However, one could ask whether it means anything that an industry only concerned with certain coatings only refers to those specific coatings in this phrase.  In any case, I abstain from putting forth a point of view on the entry's survival.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 03:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
