Plastic To Petrol

Intriguing school project, but Wikipedia is not really the place for it. WP:OR Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  12:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete for goodness sake. Wikipedia is not a free host. &mdash; RHaworth 15:01, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I was about to say Keep, until I read this article. This is a hot topic in the UK at present, with plenty of mainstream news coverage in recent days (WP:N would be easy). However this article is a crock: fails WP:NOTHOWTO for one, too tied to just one group's view of the process, far too poorly written. I would still welcome a decent article on much the same topic, if it could be of broad scope and encyclopedic. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment OK, User:Aakash30jan is a newcomer to Wikipedia and isn't yet familiar with its limitations. I agree entirely that we can't have a how-to article, particularly a step-by-step that involves using heat and pressure to create flammable liquids at home.  It's possible that Alka Zadgaonkar, the engineering professor who is developing this, is notable enough for her own article.   and  suggest that possibility. Mandsford 19:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I have done some tidying up on the article. In particular, I have removed the "how to" section. Biscuittin (talk) 22:06, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
