- "Sprayable" isn't a word, according to Merriam Webster. If the source doesn't use this word, you should find another way to to word this.
- Swapped out for sprayed.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 21:35, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- This isn't an objection per se, but I'm admittedly slightly bothered by the fact that this is only a GAN by virtue of the second BTS sentence, which I don't think is strictly necessary. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:53, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- A fair point, I have removed the section.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 21:37, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- I know the word count is below 250, but I need to add something in relation to the anti-sweat film Dionne mentioned in the Comments. I'm just trying to figure out how the information should be included.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 21:52, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- After the minor update, the article is at 240 words, so I will archive the nomination.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 22:36, August 3, 2015 (UTC)

- I would expect a section called History in an article about a substance to tell the history of that substance—such things as who invented it and when, variations in formula it might have undergone, who markets it, or anything of that nature. Instead, this section merely cites some examples of its use and scarcity in one particular time and place. There must be a more accurate section name for this.
- History is the title commonly given to this type of section. There just isn't much to go on.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 21:33, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
Comments
Is this the same stuff that is called anti-sweat films in Death Star? It seems to have same function.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 19:58, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- I noticed this, but I wasn't convinced that I could identify them as one and the same.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 21:34, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Hmmm, upon closer inspection this might be at least close enough to mention in the BTS.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 21:42, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
sprayable
Merriam Webster contains the word "spray" and the suffix "-able," and combining them in this manner is both a legitimate and a common way to construct English words. "Sprayable" is also in Oxford Dictionaries, Wiktionary, and other online English dictionaries. And its meaning is immediately clear to any reader who knows its component parts, even if he or she hasn't encountered that combined form before. Asithol (talk) 20:59, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
