[edit] Bioalcohol

Bioalcohol is chemically no different from ethanol or methanol from other sources. There is little information and it should be merged with ethanol fuel, methanol fuel, and alcohol fuel. Rifleman 82 07:43, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete bioalcohol, as opposed to what? alcohol made out of plastic? made out of metal? even the title is nonsense. M1ss1ontomars2k4 17:14, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it's distinct enough to have its own article. Newyorktimescrossword 02:07, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge. There seems to be a lot of overlap between these articles with repeated information. So reducing the number with a few redirects looks like a reasonable direction to take. Who knew we had an article on straight vegetable oil which is a fuel? Vegaswikian 23:30, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
This AfD is being relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!

  • Keep - Separately discussed item by alternate fuel proponents[[1]][[. Has foundations [[2]][[3]] pushing it and scholarly articles written. Looks verifyable and worthwhile as an article separate from the above mentionedPeripitus 00:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
All very good and well. But let's come back to the main question - how does it differ chemically from ethanol produced otherwise? I think it should be merged into the section on ethanol, methanol, etc. as appropriate, rather than having a full fledged article. Rifleman 82 13:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
