Miniature internal combustion engine

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article, in either its previous version or as recently pruned   fails to address the basic issues of clarity, notability and setting out the scope of just what it's about.

It appears to be either an unreadable, unintelligible duplication of model engines - which fails as a poor duplicate. Or else - based on the single patent referenced - it's the "Miniature internal combustion engine" specifically, as named. This is a minor variant of the model engine, using a form of Scotch yoke rather than a connecting rod. That would seem to fail notability. It's not even sufficiently note-worthy to warrant merging or adding to model engine as a footnote. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:47, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is no information here. Basically all that is says is that a miniature internal combustion engine is a very small internal combustion engine. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 17:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Model engine. Doesn't merit a separate article. Doesn't seem to be any new reliable information here to merge. --Kvng (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
