Fuel oil management system[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

One sentence article which fails WP:GNG. It doubtful if it could be developed as proper encyclopaedic article and probably, if kept, should be transwiki to Wiktionary. The article was proposed for deletion but was deproded. One source was added to the article but as it is about the development of fuel oil management system software and not about the fuel management system itself, it is doubtful if it satisfies notability guidelines.

Comment - It's a recent technological development. Some sources include [1], [2] and [3]. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:27, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Still not convinced. The first two mention the term in the context of fuel oil management software. The existence of software is not enough to establish notability of the subject. The third one has a paragraph about what the fuel oil management system will include at the 120MW diesel fuel-fired combined cycle power plant in Jamaica but it does not say what the fuel oil management system is. It seems proper what Sidelight suggest. Beagel (talk) 05:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I exported it to v:Fuel oil management system where I might work on it. - Sidelight 12 ^Talk 03:24, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fuel oil maybe? If it is a new technology likely to gain notability in the future, having a little bit in that article about "FOMS" wouldn't seem out of place. Just a line at Fuel oil#Uses should suffice. Stalwart111 09:09, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There might be an even better place for it under a new heading - "Software" - at Fuel management systems which already has a "Hardware" sub-heading. That article needs sources and work but merging this there might be a good start. Stalwart111 09:20, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fuel management systems. Seems to be a decent alternative for deletion. Beagel (talk) 17:36, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
