Merge proposal

edit

Copper indium gallium selenide and Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells cover the same basic ground. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell is a better title than the WP:MOS-offending plural version. Jojalozzo 16:35, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oh yes. Merge them all. --Wtshymanski (talk)
I am not a domain expert. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells appears to be the best developed of the three articles. I propose we do the merge in "Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells", rename it (would require deleting an existing page), and set up the redirects.
  1. What material is in the other two that is missing from "Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells"?
  2. My current preference is for the more general title (the name of the technology): "Copper indium gallium selenide". Jojalozzo 01:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Contra. The articles admittedly have heavy overlap, which is not a good thing. The topics should be properly separated rather than merged. A CIGS solar cell with its characteristics (subtypes, manufacturing, efficiencies, companies) is not the same as the CIGS material that has it's own characteristics (electron and hole mobilities, doping properties, supply etc). I see two alternatives:
  1. Keep them as separate articles, but link them heavily so that future editors put the information in either one or the other.
  2. Make a CIGS material article, with a sub-topic "CIGS solar cells". This may not do the solar cells justice (as they'll be a subchapter then, and will result in an article that is composed of mainly that subchapter.

Why redirect from selenium cell? Where do we describe the amorphous selenium cell from the 1960's?

edit

It seems that there is no article on the amorphous selenium cell that was common in light meters in the 1960's (and maybe a little earlier). In the 1970's, most light meters used CdS cells, which are likely more reliable, but require an external power source, usually a battery. But they should be described somewhere!

2x Properties

edit

The article currently has two "Properties" sections. I suppose that they should either be merged or renamed. --130.180.18.14 (talk) 11:45, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 11 August 2022

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell, along with Tin-based perovskite solar cell and Polymer-fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cell mentioned by Extraordinary Writ. No such user (talk) 07:32, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
