Metrino

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unproven concept with minimal RS coverage. Metrino claims to have agreements and plans with multiple cities but none have panned out. –dlthewave ☎ 19:05, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. The first reference is the company's own website and therefore unsuitable to establish notability. I am not able to view the archive of the second reference. However the title and the referring text seem to imply that the source is a presentation given by the inventor of the system. If this is indeed the case, then this reference is also unsuitable to establish notability. The third reference mentions Metrino alongside two other companies. The fourth reference is directly relevant.


 * I also found this source.


 * So we have two (or at best, three) suitable sources that might help to establish notability. Of these, one source says that Metrino is due to be built in India, while a more recent source says that Metrino won't be built in India. In my opinion, this is inadequate to establish general notability for Wikipedia. (As an aside, from the article's title, I was expecting it to be about a hypothetical subatomic particle.)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge into Autonomous_car. There are enough reliable sources that say something might be in the works like that I just found, that I'm not comfortable voting delete. Autonomous_car seems to document other planned/future driverless car public transport systems, so it might be worth taking the sources here and putting a sentence there: "Some cities in India have also planned driverless car public transit systems". – <b style="color:SlateBlue">FenixFeather</b> (talk) (Contribs) 22:47, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Move to draft to see if it can be better built up and sourced. bd2412  T 17:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete – This hasn't even happened yet; it's a concept. Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball. There is no production underway yet. <b style="color:#3399FF">Redditaddict</b><b style="color:#339900">6</b><b style="color:#3399FF">9</b> 19:58, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I see a small flurry of coverage 3-years ago; they had announced trials of the technology in India: (BBMP takes the Metrino route to become 'smart', K V Aditya Bharadwaj. The Hindu; Chennai [Chennai]03 Aug 2016), (Metrino calls off partnership with Indian firm on pod taxi project. Mint; New Delhi [New Delhi]25 Aug 2017.) It doesn't look like it adds up to notability to me.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:45, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
