Wind gas

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Poorly written stub. Wind gas is a neologism as it is not a specific type of gas, but synthetic gas produced by using wind power. This does not make it notable itself. Created by sockpuppet of indefinitely blocked user. Beagel (talk) 07:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as fork of Energy storage. The term seems to come directly from the German 'Windgas' and it is real, but as pointed out it is not an independent and discrete concept. For example, the gas conversion idea could be applied to the storage of electricity produced by fixed load generators such as nuclear stations as well as variable renewable sources including solar. There is room in Wikipedia for more on all that, but this is not the way as this is just a discrete, and so far unproven, possible application. --AJHingston (talk) 10:50, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as a real, non-notable product that is sourced only by primary sources, both the company's page and press release. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Energy storage. Given the use of Windgas in German, this is a sufficiently plausible search term. The content is of interest, as it refers to a non-trivial project to make this into something practical. Here are three reliable independent sources attesting to the use of the term Windgas in German: (1) (2)  (3) . The topic (whatever its name) is notable and rich enough to potentially warrant its own article; compare the well-developed article Windgas on the German Wikipedia, and our article on Thermal energy storage, which we have in spite of this also being treated in Energy storage.  --Lambiam 18:57, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Energy Storage. Possible search term (along with windgas). No useful, cited content to merge. -Atmoz (talk) 17:41, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Noting that if any content from the links supplied by Lambiam are added to the article, that content would need to be merged. The topic is notable, but at this time doesn't need its own article. -Atmoz (talk) 17:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
