Electric vehicles tend not to have gears, but perhaps one of you petrolheads can add enough cites to show this to be a notable part of automotive history? Chidgk1 (talk) 18:45, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: but the article is so old and unsourced, I'm not sure that would work. [1], [2], this concept exists, but is it enough for an article? Oaktree b (talk) 19:07, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
or merge to "gear ration" ? Oaktree b (talk) 19:07, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just another from from Chidgk1 going out of their way "pissing off people by ignoring policy and creating work for others" .

The slightest application of WP:BEFORE (which isn't optional) shows that this meets WP:N by our basic criteria of multiple sources discussing it. So anything past that is cleanup, and not reason for AfD. Something that is made further and further from likelihood from this type of persistent drive-by corrosion.

@Andy Dingley, could you post those refs here? Or better yet, add them to the article? That would be helpful. Thanks! --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 23:00, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here are a couple of definitions: Chevy and GMC Truck Performance Handbook (and similar text in other books by the same author); 4-Wheel Freedom: The Art of Off-Road Driving. An in-text search on archive.org finds quite a few magazine reviews and adverts that use the term too. Adam Sampson (talk) 21:39, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
