Jp 54

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

This was tagged as a speedy A1 for lack of context, even though the article made it pretty clear what the context was. I'm still not convinced there's enough content available to warrant an article though. Lot's of links from trading websites, but nothing to substantiate content.

 * Keep. Those websites buying and selling JP 54 may not be useful as sources of article content, but they are evidence of the fuel's notability.  I'd say any significant type of jet fuel in production is notable, particularly if it's the primary form of jet fuel produced in Russia, as claimed in the article.  Rather than deletion, this article needs an expert in jet fuel; I have applied an  tag.  Baileypalblue (talk) 09:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * And what do you sugges the experts should use as a reference? - Mgm|(talk) 12:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I'm not an expert! :) Seriously, though, if this is a real jet fuel in production, as it appears to be, then reliable sources must exist documenting its manner of production, proper usage, etc.  Just because a non-expert like myself can't find them, it doesn't follow they don't exist.  I'm confident an expert on jet fuel could solve the article's problems, via editing, so deletion is not necessary.  Baileypalblue (talk) 19:14, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect - To Jet fuel. If someone finds enough information to source and merit a standalone page (i.e. JP-8) then it can be broken out. §FreeRangeFrog 00:04, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 04:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you suggest we merge? None of the info is referenced. - Mgm|(talk) 11:21, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well merge might be a strong term. I know the fuel exists, it's also called Colonial Grade 54 and it does come from Russia, but I can't find any reliable English sources for it (Google returns 100,000 commodity trader spam sites). I know Cuba uses it. It's probably widely used in Africa as well. Perhaps we can just add the entry to Jet fuel as a mention. Unfortunately I don't read or speak Russian so I'm not going to be of much help, and the EDL site keeps barfing up with a Java error. §FreeRangeFrog 19:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
