The CR2032 is a very common battery type, found in small electronics and computers. The Wikipedia article for CR2032 redirects to Button cell, a large article that does not render well on mobile. Button cell includes two tables that do not adapt well to small screen sizes.

A user looking for basic technical information about the CR2032, like its voltage and capacity, would usually not find it very quickly. These specs are in the article, but they are in different places, and they are not labeled with the words “voltage” or “capacity”.

Deletionists like to merge articles like CR2032 into large overview articles, but this process often entails the loss of basic information, and prevents articles about important everyday objects from developing into more useful resources.
