Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tuner (auto)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. I'm pointing the link at the dab page Tuner to Sport compact#Tuning, where people can read more about tuners in the appropriate sense. There are no other links to Tuner (auto), and it's not a term people will type into the search box, so no redirect is necessary. --Angr (tยทc) 21:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tuner (auto)

Sounds like nonsense to me - or at least a mode of speach particular to a very small community. jmd 06:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

  • It's a legit term, but I agree that it's sure hard to tell.  :) There may in fact already be an article on the subject somewhere around here. Might wind up making it a redirect if there is. - Lucky 6.9 06:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah, found something. Redirect to sport compact. - Lucky 6.9 06:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
      • I think such a redirect would be confusing. To me, "Tuner (auto)" would mean a) A person who tunes the engine of an automobile; or b) The broadcast radio receiver fitted in an automobile. Create a disambig page if necessary. jmd
  • Good point. Looks like there's already a disambig at tuner and it covers the existing article. I'm going to look at this article to see if anything can be merged. - Lucky 6.9 07:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
    • This may well be unsalvageable now that it's formatted into something legible. Tempted to nuke it with a speedy. - Lucky 6.9 07:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment If this could be turned into a decent stub, I would vote to keep. As it is at the moment, I would vote to delete. Capitalistroadster 07:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless anybody can rewrite and merge into Tuner. Technostalgia
  • Redirect per Lucky6.9. Stifle 23:28, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
