[edit] Electric bicycle

THIS ARTICLE should not be deleted as discused in the talk:motorized bicycle. It is essentially a sub-class of "motor assisted bicycle" and has had it's chance of being incorperated with that article, however... that article is purelly narrow minded propaganda for electric bicycles, hence it is my belief so we can lighten up the article on "motorized bicycle" that we resume the creation of electric bicycle --CyclePat 05:55, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I think CyclePat has nominated this for deletion without really understanding how deletion policies work. cyclePat, this is for nominating an article to be deleted. Sometimes people nominate articles to be deleted when they don't really want them to as a breaching experiment, but I don't think that's what you intended. For anyone else -- CyclePat, a bicycle shop owner in Canada politically active enough to be involved in some petitions and court cases related to the issue, started working on an article on electric bicycles. I and several other editors began helping him. We decided that the article should be moved to Motorized bicycle so that it could incorporate text from several articles about bikes of this sort; they were fractured over electric bicycle, power-assisted bicycle, power-assisted cycle, etc. Not liking changes to the new motorized bicycle, CyclePat has begun reverting the redirect on electric bicycle and re-creating his old article, which was mostly about Canadian jurisdictional laws and was rather POV in spots. Electric bicycle should stay redirected to motorized bicycle. · Katefan0^(scribble) 06:08, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep redirect. Besides what Katefan said, we have a Request for comment up on this already. Besides, this should be under redirect for deletion, since he's asking that a redirect be removed. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 06:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as redirect or article, clearly a valid topic, I don't really care which way this ends up in terms of factoring. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, don't understand the nomination. Gazpacho 06:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
