Sufficiency of description. 409.108(1)
(1)
Sufficiency of description. Except as otherwise provided in
subs. (3) to

409.108(2)

(f) Except as otherwise provided in
sub. (3), any other method, if the identity of the collateral is objectively determinable.
409.108(3)
(3) Supergeneric description not sufficient. A description of collateral as "all the debtor's assets" or "all the debtor's personal property" or using words of similar import does not reasonably identify the collateral.

409.108(4)(a)
