[edit] List of

Why isn't this "List of .Formula One engines"? Since it's only a list. ;Bear 06:48, 2004 Apr 9 (UTC)

Agreed. I would move it, except that I don't think this page is necessary at all, and it should be merged with either History of Formula One or the various teams' pages. Ðåñηÿßôý | Talk 18:06, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've moved this page to List of Formula One engines, though I maintain that the list is unnecessary. The information is relevant but would be vastly more useful in the context of the History of Formula One, where the various formulae could be connected with drivers, events and years.
If the list is to stay a list, I would like to know if someone intends to write an article on each of these engines. Presumably such articles are possible and encyclopedic; however, the list is meaningless without articles to link. Ðåñηÿßôý | Talk 04:30, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I will prefer this article without the "List of", as it was. It's possible to write an interesting piece on these engines, not just a link list. --Marc Lacoste 15:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Forgotten?

This list seems to me to be useful, regardless of whether there's a full article for each engine. It needs linking from other pages though. I was interested to read it, but came across it entirely by accident. Some of the info could be worked into History of Formula One and Formula One Regulations, with links to this as a comprhensive list. It should also be linked from all F1 engine constructors' articles, etc. Spute 10:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I will link to it from relevant articles I pass by. --Marc Lacoste 15:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
