I am also nominating the following related pages because the reason I mentioned below:

Nominated this one of the many low quality article (from the article creator) since I have no choice to, considering this has been reverted twice without the reverter explaining why.

I've first proposed to merge this to Volkswagen-Audi V8 engine as they are the same as the production engines. Well, the numbers suggest that they are, not as 'prototype' as the article creator claimed. Since it sat unaddressed, I made the decision to merge, this got reverted because I forgot to add the editing summary. I redid this, which again got reverted. These articles are nothing but written stats without asserting notability. SpacedFarmer (talk) 14:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: @SpacedFarmer: when you place a maintenance tag on an article, including proposing a merge with a {{merge}} tag, you are expected to start the discussion, and no evidence of that being done exists before you, yet again, rush to deletion. A basic WP:BEFORE check also should have landed coverage in Top Gear[1] and Jalopnik.[2]― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 02:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no comment on the substantive issue here, but must point out that SpacedFarmer did start a discussion, but nobody replied. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Phil Bridger: thanks for the correction. I only checked Audi DTM V8 engine and not Volkswagen-Audi V8 engine. My bad. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 03:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:N, plenty of sources. Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Only one article here is nominated. This is not how a bundled nomination is formatted.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Article referenced and standardized with other articles about engines. If there is a better explanation for the alleged "low quality", I will change my vote, but in principle, nothing justifies a WP:TNT. Svartner (talk) 08:39, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Without prejudice on the merger. gidonb (talk) 21:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Request to withdraw – I never got rerespond as I had been locked out of my account for the last few weeks. Whilst I still believe this should be merged as they are the same, I think it is appropriate to continue any conversation into WP:CARS. SpacedFarmer (talk) 20:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
