Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orders of magnitude (specific energy)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Specific energy. Although several votes were to keep, almost all of them were based on opinion; therefore this will be redirected for the timebeing per WP:SYNTH and WP:LISTN. If you feel that there may be an issue, please see WP:DRV. (non-admin closure) FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 21:46, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Half of the stuff is unsourced and the article fails WP:LISTN.Synthesis of data. And, if someone do manage to find such trivial list(s) in high-school/undergrad science text-book (which often have them to provide an indicative idea of the vastness of the real range of a physical quantity), we are not one.We are an encyclopedia. ∯WBG^converse 06:12, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article is part of a set – see the following navigational template. It doesn't make sense to consider this in isolation when other members of the set have been extensively discussed and kept previously. For example, see RfC, AfD. Andrew D. (talk) 11:13, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orders of magnitude (voltage). SpinningSpark 23:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide multiple sources that covers the topic of order of magnitude of specific energy (not range of voltage) in a significant manner. The best, that I managed to get my hands upon were stuff like this which hardly does the job.∯WBG^converse 19:49, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Energy density which already has a fine chart along these lines. --Steve (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
