[edit] Six stroke engine

Six stroke engine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I am nominating this to protect it from speedy deletion as a repost. This Trivandrum story got deleted as an undisputed prod back in March but I am prepared to give it a proper AfD. Note that it is not original research - original research is that which is published here for the first time. The question is: is it notable or just an engineering students' project which has received a bit more publicity than usual. My "vote" is weak keep. -- RHaworth 20:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep It could be a genuine new engine design, but the article needs tidied up/re-written almost certainly. I say keep for a few weeks, and see what transpires. scope_creep 20:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Assuming the information in the article is itself true and verifiable in some way. This is no different from say Wankel Engine or any of the others. FrozenPurpleCube 20:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I've done quite a bit of cleanup on the article. We have a situation where it appears there is an American six-stroke engine and an Indian six-stroke engine that operate on different principles. I've included information about the American six-stroke engine, but information on the Indian team still dominates the article. I'm not sure whether to try to balance them according to notability, or to split them into two separate articles. If they are split into different articles, this should probably turn into a disambiguation page. --Hyperbole 21:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I've done quite a bit of cleanup on the article, and have also added a little bit of new information regarding the subject. There are two other six stroke engine designs known as Beare Head and Bajulaz Six Stroke engine. I have added informations regarding them too in this article. I feel that this article " six stroke engine " should be written such that, it describes the various six stroke engine designs. --Drakefroster 22:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• A very novel concept. Keep and clean it up. --Dennisthe2 23:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Stong keep? If this is what I think it is, it is something I read about some 25 years ago and if I had a million quid have always wanted to have a go at building. However, the article seems very confused. If I understand it correctly it is not literally a six stroke engine but a combination of two stroke and four stroke technology. If it is what I think it is, it has to be in Wikipedia, but the article is terribly confusing so that I'm not sure what it is about and it drastically needs a mega-warning until someone can improve it! --Mike 00:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It needs some work, but it's worth keeping. Robovski 01:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
