A "parallelogram steering linkage" as described here isn't a parallelogram. See Talk:Parallelogram_steering_linkage#Inaccuracies for further detail. This is one of a number of articles by this editor whose accuracy falls far below the standards required at WP, or (most prolifically) at Commons. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:35, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. There seem to be quite a few hits for the search term Parallelogram steering linkage on Google and Google books. Obviously the concept is notable. It seems from the discussion page that a redirect to Ackermann steering might be the way to go, but in that case the latter article should at least mention the term, which seems to be fairly standard parlance in automotive mechanics.

- Keep. Rudimentary Google search indicates notability. Whatever is unverified should be deleted, even if it means removing most of the article.--PinkBull 05:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Of the three sentences in this article, which do you consider are worth keeping? The one that says, "A parallelogram linkage is shaped like a parallelogram"? Andy Dingley (talk) 08:56, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Can't see how this is a notable concept. Google searches are not references and cannot indicate notability. Stifle (talk) 09:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
