Alternative propulsion[edit]

Poorly defined (states that it is not internal combustion in the lead, but much of the body is about versions of internal combustion), only one source, heavily overlaps other existing articles, and lots of OR. Perhaps a redirect to Alternative fuel, as no information beyond that article is provided, or a disambiguation page would be appropriate. NJGW (talk) 22:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect As per sensible nom. Merge any relevant information and sources. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment alternative propulsion is also used to refer to non-chemical rocket propulsion for spacecraft (ie. ion drives, nuclear bomb pulse drives, etc) 70.55.86.100 (talk) 07:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right. The article as it stands now is all about cars. The problem that I have with the article is that it duplicates information that already exists in multiple other articles, with no obvious reason why we ought to have a distinct article on this topic. Maybe we should get an expert involved? - Richard Cavell (talk) 09:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:BEFORE. It certainly can be fixed or, if needed, merged to Alternative fuel vehicle. Bearian (talk) 20:27, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
