Unremarkable product, lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Reads like a how to guide. Contested prod. RadioFan (talk) 23:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment See revision for scope of project - which is rather more than a soldering iron job original may have suggested Timpo (talk) 15:23, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Stil not seeing how this might meet notability guidelines. Still only a single primary source reference. Non-English sources are fine but none have been specified yet. RadioFan (talk) 17:54, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment OScar, & EV recharging This is a contribution to Open Source Electric Vehicle technology which I am researching (q.v. OScar (open source car) for more on this). There appears to be no company or clear PARVE sponsoring entity, although two small Madrid companies (Alargador and BeELEC) and some private individuals are involved, and I have seen a couple of units that they call "X-models" (experimental or design proving products). As the references are scant, maybe this should be integrated to the article Charging station which is a redirect from Electric vehicle#Charging stations), but those are also rather a long and muddled entries which are sometimes hard to follow. Maybe this (seemingly complex) emerging topic 'alternative personal transportation' is a candidate for some systematic restructuring; e.g. Personal transport> innovative vehicle technology > proposed personal transport infrastructure (such as supplies of hydrogen, electricity, pressurized air etc)??? Timpo (talk) 06:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC) Because this technology is not yet mature, there are several standards, mostly issued by manufacturers. There is an an ongoing discussion within USA Europe and the various industry entities[reply]

• Merge - insufficient notability for a standalone article. All references in GSearch and Gnews are to charging stations, methods, locations, etc, and expired articles on electric car news sites and blogs. Merge to Charging station --Whiteguru (talk) 11:42, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per the lack of reliable sources. The sources in the article are primary sources so cannot be used to establish notability. I disagree with a merge to charging station because given the lack of reliable sources discussing this topic, and given that PARVE Charging System is not directly related to Charging station, a merge would not improve the encyclopedia. Delete per Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. Cunard (talk) 06:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
