AEE (motorcycle)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't think there ever was a British motorcycle manufacturer AEE. It is not listed in The world's motorcycles, 1894-1963 nor at Sheldon's EMU. On the web, I found A.E.E. Choppers, from the 1960's, but no UK company active from 1919-1925. Motorcycles: Webster’s Quotations, Facts and Phrases has an entry for AEE which they got from this WP article itself. Heh.

 * I just realized, the third link should be  Motorcycles: Webster’s Quotations, Facts and Phrases, rather than a duplicate of the second link.  It doesn't change anything.--Dbratland (talk) 06:02, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete I made a real effort to figure this out, looking through a bunch of junk on Google books. This is a one line article with no references and is very difficult to verify. The bit about the choppers in the 1960s  is the only thing I can find.  This could have been a mistake even.  There is less harm in deleting it than in keeping it unverified, as noted it is already starting to get mirrored and has now found its way into print from Wikipedia.  This is a real problem and Wikipedia needs to take it seriously.  This unverified stuff IS harmful, and not just to the encyclopedia, either. Drawn Some (talk) 00:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
