useless tags[edit]

This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (October 2017)

I learned about it, and made an article for it, this rather interesting. I did not advertise anything, just listed the facts. Dream Focus 15:36, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article seemed just what the manufacturer would be likely to put out: a summary of the plus points, with inadequate independent sourcing.Pam D 17:04, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article may rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject, potentially preventing the article from being verifiable and neutral. (October 2017)

Three sentences of information I referenced to the TreeHugger article I learned about it from, and that is a reliable source not closely associated with the subject at all. The 4th sentence "It dries overnight" I referenced to a Products Association website. Does that website mean that one simple statement that it tries overnight can not be "verifiable and neutral"?

No, there was one sentence sourced to Treehugger and 3 sourced to the Aircrete Products Association which did not sound like a third party. PamD 17:04, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2017)

There are no "references needed" tags on any of the information. All information from the four sentences in the article right now, are found on the two places referenced. Dream Focus 15:36, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The two references, a blog-type report and a trade association, did not seem sufficient. PamD 17:04, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On looking further at the article I think the main problem is that it isn't clear whether or not this is the same as Autoclaved aerated concrete. The Treehugger article says "I came across a number of other videos about building with aircrete recently, and then found a UK organization called the Aircrete Products Association, but it seems to be referring to a different material (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) than the DomeGaia version." The Aircrete Products Association is an external link in the Autoclaved aerated concrete article. PamD 16:56, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article for Autoclaved aerated concrete doesn't include the information I listed here. This is a different type of Autoclaved aerated concrete, just like Foam concrete is different but still mentions Autoclaved aerated concrete in that article. I did a lot of searching for information, but its mostly YouTube videos and websites for people selling it that pop up. Not sure how to expand this article.

Merge and delete this article to "Foam Concrete"[edit]

"AirCrete is just another name for foam concrete, or foamed concrete. SInce there is already an well thought out article for foam concrete, I peopoese that this article be deleted and the term "AirCrete" or "Air-Crete" be redirected to Foam concrete instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.181.225.112 (talk) 20:16, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Made it happen. Dream Focus 21:44, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
