[edit] Zinc economy

This appears to be a neologism. There are a very few links in Google, but most are not relevant. No hits in Google News or Google Scholar. This doesn't appear to be a term in use, so it may be original research. eaolson 02:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep sounds like it is notable enough.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as nominated. It looks like original research. Brian G. Crawford 03:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, it appears to be used, but very rarely. Also, we have articles on methanol and other economies. A redirect to zinc-air battery might be good. -- Kjkolb 04:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Because of The Simpsons. I hope upon hopes that someone gets the joke. Teke 04:25, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I expected more keeps, but my vote is legitamite so I'll clarify as to say that the article is not original research, as the creator did not do the OR for the article. So even if the article is based on original research, those grounds don't stand. The next point is that the subject is just as acceptable as the hydrogen economy and other alternative resources.

  • Delete There's nothing in the article that verifies that "zinc economy" is a notable and published theory. Kevin 06:16, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete if this is a Simpsons reference, coinsider BJAODN since if it is it's a well executed hoax. Just zis Guy you know? 13:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The Simpsons reference was solely my own. "Imagine, Timmy, a world without zinc..." Teke 16:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to zinc-air battery. Merge if there is anything worth moving over, probably not. Redirects don't take up much space, and there is a chance this might be useful - it's plausible that people might guess this name, as "hydrogen economy" is a common term. --Tango 14:38, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, original research. --Terence Ong 16:09, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge anything of use to Zinc-air battery. Ziggurat 22:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as original research, unless someone provides a good reason/source otherwise. Fagstein 19:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - this is a small but legitimate area of renewable energy research. The article needs references to it (and I just tagged it with a references tag). But it's legit, not original research, and should be kept. Georgewilliamherbert 21:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
