wiki article for non-existent, untested and technically unfeasible object is being linked from other web sites by the author. [1] Clearly original research and/or spam. Athol Mullen 05:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Athol's comments are not true and not objective - as many hybrid adapters have been built and article does reference others work in this field. This article does name the category of devices and the name as has yet to be published somewhere other than the internet -- based on this fact, the article may run afoul of the deletion rulesIhero 15:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The link that you've added since I proposed deletion is completely unrelated to driving a trailer to push the vehicle, which is what the article is about. That 5th wheel setup would fit in the hybrid vehicle articles that already exist. Oh, and the word I was looking for to describe this article is wikiturfing. --Athol Mullen 21:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge some of the descriptive contents in the genset trailer article. LHOON 10:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The fifth wheel article was added to refute Mr. Athol's technically unfeasible claim -- which has no basis -- and is more like a personal attack. The article clearly has original work -- and to be honest - I did not know you could not include original work/concepts in wikipedia -- for I do it at work all the time in our wikimedia software(a non public version).So I learned something valuable here -- how do I help delete the article, how do I help in the process?

- Delete or merge to an article about hydrid vehicles. Sounds like a great idea, but is pretty much original research, citing only a blog. Wikipedia is not a site for initial publication of gadgets someone thinks up. Build it, get it in Mechanics Illustrated and Popular Science, with TV coverage on CNN, then come back and re-create the article. The article trivializes concerns about the source of the energy, the size and weight of the batteries, the possible instability of pushing a car with a fifth wheel, quick failure of an overloaded motor, the lack of traction, the lack of acceleration, the need to coordinate the bvraking system with the pushing motor, and safety concerns, and presents an idea as an established concept.
