Honda GY6 Engine[edit]

No sources, not notable. I'm pretty sure the GY6 exists, and it has been used on something [1] but that's about all that can be verified, just barely. The sources who claim it is ubiquitous are all trying to sell you something on the premise that it is ubiquitous [2] i.e. parts are widely available and there is lots of tuning and performance know-how. I have to wonder why all this lore hasn't been printed in any books or magazines.[3][4]. Dbratland (talk) 03:09, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are enough sources to make it verifiable, but there doesn't seem to be enough to establish notability. Can it be merged somewhere? As there list articles of engines? A Honda engine article? ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:50, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure we can even verify that Honda really did design an engine called the GY6, only that some companies are making an engine whose design they, um, obtained or acquired somehow, and they tout it as being of Honda lineage because the public respects the brand. Honda seems to be making no effort to lend credibility to these claims. I am one who is willing to set the bar for WP:V and WP:N pretty low sometimes, but not this low.--Dbratland (talk) 20:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep From the article, it seems that this is the origin of a whole class of small engines used very widely. Now all we need is some refs to show it. DGG (talk) 00:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
