This article dates from 2006, a period when one might argue with success that Wikipedia was in a major growth phase, and that poorly sourced articles were acceptable on the basis that they might be improved. This one has been edited periodically, but not improved. It has a single source, and does not pass

WP:GNG. It is interesting, but gives undue weight to the vehicle, which is only notable for its power train, not for anything else about it. There is thus no objection to merge and redirect as an outcome to this discussion, with the merge target being the source of the powertrain, or with the manufacturer of the chassis. There appears to be no individual article on the designer himself, or that might be a valid target. I am thus asking for consensus not only on the fate of the article, but on any merge target as well. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:40, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Weak Delete I've found a few sources for this [1], [2] (Old CNET, so still good), [3], [4] but I feel they don't really have the
WP:GNG, so I'm gonna second the nom here. Allan Nonymous (talk) 01:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

@Allan Nonymous By seconding the nomination please be aware that merge and redirect to a so far undetermined target is a suitable outcome. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Some coverage found, [5] and [6]. Merge to Wrightspeed or the Ariel Atom? I'm not sure. Oaktree b (talk) 19:02, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@
Wrightspeed ends up at an article of a different name, but mainly about Wrightspeed. I think there needs to be some background work here by someone who can rationalise what is what. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I see some support for redirect, but no consensus as to a target. We shouldn't need another full week to settle on a target.

"Wrightspeed" seems like a good redirect choice. Oaktree b (talk) 01:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Revo Powertrains which is the powertrain company founded by Mr. Wright (under the Wrightspeed name?). Redirect doesn't make sense to me as Revo doesn't include anything about this car. Oblivy (talk) 02:29, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
