Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/How to adjust brakes

This page is preserved as an archive of the associated article page's "votes for deletion" debate (the forerunner of articles for deletion). Please do not modify this page, nor delete it as an orphaned talk page.

This is really a manual of how to do things, not an encyclopedic article at all. Should be taken out of Wikipedia and moved to (I forget where?)

• How to adjust brakes: This is probably useful to someone, but it doesn't really belong in an encyclopedia, does it? Is there somewhere where such an article may be more appropriate? There is an article on bicycle brake systems that is appropriate and that covers the subject from an encyclopedic pov. -- Egil 13:56, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. One of a series of useful articles listed under bicycle repair. Fred Bauder 15:14, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep See below Ensiform
  • move to wikibooks and delete. --Jiang 16:44, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree with Jiang now Ensiform 20:08, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

  • Wikibooks. Coren 00:41, Jan 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • A fine article, but one that should be in a "bike maintenance" wikibook. So move there, and delete here. -- Finlay McWalter 04:32, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • Splendid! Presumably, all of Bicycle repair should be moved to Wikibooks. Egil
  • Though it pains me to say it, putting bicycle repair in a general article quickly gets into "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" territory. move it to Wikibooks. Maybe just keep the ubiquitous fixing a flat Dhodges
  • Moved the following articles to Wikibooks: Bicycle repair, Fixing a flat, How to adjust brakes, Truing a bicycle wheel, Adjusting gears, Mending a broken chain, Yearly bicycle maintenance. I've put in pointers to Wikibooks in all of these. In addition, there are two redirects: Adjusting brakes, Truing a wheel. Suggest the pages are kept as redirects to Wikibooks. -- Egil 23:03, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
