Far too general title and the material only covers automobile engines. I don't think this title ever be useful for any article. Rmhermen 13:01, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Material is not usefull. --Starx 15:03, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Agree with above, and Wikipedia isn't a "How-to" guide. Delete. -- Stevietheman 15:12, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Not true. There is plenty of how to info on wikiepdia. Also thwe title is a non issue as the page can easily be moved. However it reads like a wikibook page, so I suggest it's tranwikied to there. theresa knott 15:15, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
      • Disagree. Wikipedia contains a good amount of info it's not supposed to contain. -- Stevietheman 15:37, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
        • But the issue of how-tos has never been resolved and there's isn't any established policy or consensus. There's nothing about this in Wikipedia:What's_in,_what's_out. And Wikipedia:How-to tells specifically how to write them. By all means express opinion on articles, but I wish people would please stop asserting that there is any established policy that excludes procedural knowledge from Wikipedia. You can start a section on this in Wikipedia:What's_in,_what's_out or try listing Wikipedia:How-to, but please do not assert policy where none exists.

  • Delete: How-to, and not an actual how-to. It's along the lines of "To score a touchdown, be sure to go all 100 yards down the field." Perhaps it belongs in Wikibooks, but I wouldn't judge that. Geogre 16:50, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - not encylopedic Cutler 22:46, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is of no interest, this is an encyclopedia of knowledge not a guide to the web. anon comment moved off main VfD page
  • Move to some better title, such as "Home-built automobile engines" or whatever phrase would be most natural to hobbyists who design and build their own high-performance auto engines. It's a vaguely interesting topic. I can see this growing into a decent article. Check to make sure we don't have one already. If someone objects deeply to the procedural language, this could easily be rewritten since, as other have noted, it's not really a procedural article at all.

  • Moved to Home-built automobile engines. Attempted cleanup. This is an area that I am sure Wikipedia has very little info on, but is in fact quite popular in the real world, it would not be very encouraging for new users if such stuff is simply deleted. Vote to keep. --Dittaeva 21:45, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
