Honda Indy V8 engine

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Does not seem to have sufficient independent coverage to be a standalone article, sources are either broken or from Indy. And there is a lot of WP:OR. The creator of the article has done a lot of work with technical specs on motorsport articles, a lot of it with similar problems which led to them being blocked.

 * comment the article has sources, but they don't discuss the technical specs given. It's one of those that's too detailed to be a BS article, but we can't prove anything without sources. Oaktree b (talk) 00:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I can find no sources, but it appears the engine is documented somewhere, based on the volumes of information given. Can revisit the !vote if sources are provided. Oaktree b (talk) 17:57, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Oaktree b The detailed info will have come from a company source. Even if it gets echoed in the car magazine reviews, no one determines that independently. So I wonder if it would be ok to use a first party source for that, maybe a link to the tech specs on the company web site, or if someone has the car manual and the specs here could be made sure to come from that. Anyway, that's either a question or the opening of a discussion. Lamona (talk) 03:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep – I found several sources covering the topic, such as the following:, , , , , , , , , , , . It should also be noted that the engines were used during a time when print media was more prominent, and therefore it is likely that there are offline sources covering the topic; for example, Race Engine Technology magazine appears to have given it significant coverage. The article could also be significantly expanded with more coverage of the engines' competition history. Furthermore, the engines were used successfully for several years in one of the biggest racing series in North America and arguably the biggest race in the world, which further seems to indicate that the topic is notable.

 * Keep I concur with Carfan568. Even a cursory search shows that there are scores of available reliable, independent, in-depth sources both in print and online. The article needs to be improved to reflect these sources, but it clearly passes WP:GNG. Banks Irk (talk) 18:46, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
