[edit] Delete redirect suggested

The term Carnot efficiency redirects here, to Carnot Cycle.

Carnot efficiency, however, should have its own page, since the Carnot efficiency is a limit that cannot be exceeded by an method of converting heat to electricity, not merely by carnot engines. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 21:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Before deleting, or taking to WP:RfD, do you think there is enough for an article on Carnot efficiency (if so, just start to write that article), or could it be redirected elsewhere? Energy conversion or Energy efficiency for example? There are also possibilities in the page history. It once used to redirect to Carnot heat engine, and it also once redirected to Exergy efficiency (which I'd never heard of). Are those possiblities any good?

The most appropriate redirect would be to the efficiency section of the article on Heat engines, here. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 01:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. Anyone can do that, not just admins. Would you be able to check the links and see if they are all being used correctly? Carcharoth (talk) 13:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
