This article meets the WP:DEL-REASON 6 and 7 criteria. The references in this article are not really that good, and they don't prove the text. In printed books on Diesel engines, there is no such thing as "Diesel engine problems", I suppose that is because describing _all_ possible problems would fill at least a dozen books. In its current state, the article mainly focusses on carbon build-up, which is a very specific problem of internal combustion engines (and it does not affect Diesel engines only). However, the description is mostly based upon original research, and I have never read anything like this in any book. -- Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 20:35, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't doubt that an article at this title could be written – this came top of the search results. I don't think the nom is right about there being no such thing, there are plenty of books on diesel engine maintenance and troubleshooting. But the nom is right about the poor quality of this article. Plus WP:DENY applies in this case. SpinningSpark 22:40, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It does not meet WP:GNG. It is not notable to the point where it can be its own article. Syndicater (talk) 00:24, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm with Spinningspark that this topic is notable and could be written, but agree that this is a case for WP:DENY. It would need a total rewrite, so WP:TNT also applies. Daask (talk) 10:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
