-In common usage and in the scientific laboratory, the term '''vacuum''' refers to a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter, having a [[pressure|gaseous pressure]] that is much less than [[atmospheric pressure|atmospheric]].
-==Proposed deletion and subsequent action==
-The page [[vacuum (laboratory)]] is exactly what this low pressure definition describes. On the other hand, [[vacuum (laboratory)]] is redundant as [[vacuum (partial)]] means the same thing, and may be clearer. The designation ''vacuum (science)'' could mean:
-{{r|vacuum (classical)}}
-{{r|vacuum (quantum electrodynamic)}}
-{{r|vacuum (partial)}}
-Therefore, [[vacuum (science)]] should be used as a general designation for all of the above, and not restricted to a narrower meaning. [[User:John R. Brews|John R. Brews]] 13:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
