Purely a dictionary definition. Does not seem like this could be expanded into an encyclopedic article. Even the "in science" paragraph is just simply an extended definition. Natg 19 (talk) 21:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – agree with nom that this fails WP:NOTDICT. The importance of wafting in a laboratory context is certainly encyclopedic, but belongs in laboratory safety as there isn't much to say beyond a couple definitions. There isn't that much content worth saving, although I suppose the second paragraph is usable if sourced. A redirect to laboratory safety is not suitable because "waft" can have many different meanings. Ovinus (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it's basically using your fingers to draw some of the chemical odors to your nose, so you aren't sniffing something toxic/bad for you. In no way encyclopedic. Oaktree b (talk) 13:54, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
