*Delete. One of the sources indicates it is a recent neologism.[1] Appears to be a lack of sufficient sources to build an article. Vassyana 04:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep. Per JayHenry's finds. Only the Washington Post article is of any real use. The Post article along with Mother Jones provides enough material to craft a reasonable B-Class article. That is, the sources demonstrate notability and are verifiable. I have strong doubts about the availability of sources to take the article beyond that point. However, the sources are sufficient for topic inclusion. Vassyana 21:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and cleanup. There's also a Washington Post article about it, it's discussed in this HBO Documentary, in this Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story. Those plus mother jones is more than sufficient to write a good article. --JayHenry 05:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As there are reliable sources about the term, WP:NEO permits it. And the article covers the practice of hypermiling rather than the history of the term itself. The first section isn't OR but needs cites. The last section (about cars and hybrids) doesn't really belong. But that's neither here nor there. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ (AMA) 21:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Popular Science article discussed hypermiling. Also an interview with Public Radio's MarketPlace While not known as hypermiling until about five years ago, The Mobil Economy Run had drivers use many of the same techinques dating to 1936
- Keep The info here has been written about by many reliable sources. --Oakshade 05:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
