Eggishorn's PROD put it best: WP:NOTHOWTO-type article unsourced and orphaned for over 8 years. Andrew Davidson removed it without explanation. Would be helpful to hear from these users. Tera TIX 04:06, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's easy to find sources. For example: Scientifc American or Royal Academy of Engineering. Those are experiments for children but there are also other interesting references out there such as those which report that Max Valier used carbon dioxide rockets – see History of Rocketry and Astronautics; Max Valier - A pioneer of space travel; Rockets into Space]. As there are various ways that carbon dioxide can be used as a rocket fuel or propellant, what we have here is a broad concept. Andrew D. (talk) 07:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Andrew Davidson: thanks for your quick reply and the new sources. It's now pretty clear that this is notable, but probably needs a rename and, as you said, a broader scope that the current content indicates. However, this is a discussion for the talk page, not this AfD, which should be speedily kept. Tera TIX 09:51, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
