This article is 6 years old and there's not a single citation. In addition, the author refers to himself and to his/her own opinions Pishcal (talk) 18:11, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The subject must exist in some form, maybe under a different term. The article seems to be about communal storage facilities for fuel for heating or generating power, which is not the same as a "communal heating system" claimed in the article. And it seems to be one persons opinion about them in one select area of Britain. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:38, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found one brief mention of "communal storage facilities" in a UK government document (which is repeated in other government sites and documents), but that hardly supports a standalone article. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:13, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No prejudice against recreation if sources turn up, but as of right now it's an essay. I trimmed some of the heavy OR bits, but this fails the GNG. Nha Trang 18:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic is notable. See Heating Services in Buildings for example. Per our editing policy, the age and current state of the article is unimportant and not a reason to delete. Andrew (talk) 13:00, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets WP:GNG. I have performed some copy editing to address concerns about the article. Source examples include:

Central Oil Storage in Multi-dwelling Buildings. 35 pages.
Heating Services in Buildings. pp. 304-306.
The Handbook of Industrial Oil Engineering. pp. 510-514 (covers industrial applications)
Frost and the prevention of frost damage. pp. 33-34. (agricultural applications)
Report of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of California. p. 60, 63. (snippet view, unable to discern depth of coverage)

Keep. Per above, obviously a real thing. Bryce (talk) 01:55, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
