As we now know almost everything is being electrified rather than going to methanol it is not worth spending time to fix the problems with this article - for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Methanol_economy#The_article_is_supposed_to_be_about_methanol_economy,_not_advocacy Chidgk1 (talk) 11:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having said that if anyone thinks it is worth their time merging into Methanol fuel, Hydrogen economy or any other article they could argue for that as an alternative to deletion Chidgk1 (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I agree that this needs a lot of work. But a Google Scholar search for "methanol economy" is pretty productive. It doesn't really matter whether this is a concept that is ever put into widespread practice; it's still a notable idea that has been widely discussed in peer-reviewed (and other) literature.

  • Keep. I was really surprised to see this nomination. Even if it's true that the methanol-based economy will be driven out by electrification, how is that relevant? It doesn't alter the fact that this a topic worthy of an article. Athel cb (talk) 16:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There never was a “methanol-based economy”. I think that any info here worthy of being in an article could just as well be part of the Methanol fuel article Chidgk1 (talk) 16:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or keep. I don't agree with the deletion rationale. But the term is a buzzword, and the non-WP:SYNTH content would be better in Methanol fuel. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:40, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
