List of district heating systems

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

This is an example of What Wikipedia is not with no actual encyclopedic value. It is not a "List of district heating systems" but one of systems ranked on annual heat sales (2001) based on Library of Congress data. I prodded this but it was contested and a "Needs updating" tag placed. It became outdated in 2002 and is just a historical snapshot of some company sales figures. The lead actually states "(2001 data based on this article, other figures based on companies' data):" so is basically primary sourced sales figures. A 2004 link requires a signing up for a Zoho account to save to a clipboard to view which is advertising or promotional.

 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG by virtue of the lack of independent reliable sources. Yes, the article could be updated, but that doesn't fix the inherent issues with the article. This is nothing more than an article that ranks sales figures across some (and only some) companies and so is a flagrant WP:NOTDIRECTORY offender. - Aoidh (talk) 03:38, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete There is a lack of full cover and independent resources, according to WP:INDEPENDENT--Bigneeerman (talk) 13:47, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
