Delete. There is a need for an article on the topic automotive oil recycling but this article is the wring name, is irretrievable as anything worthy of inclusion in WP, and no editors have made a go at fixing it in the past three years. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think that this article is salvageable, although admittedly it'll need a lot of work. I did a 10-second copy edit to it, and I moved the page (good observation on the article title which this was nominated as).

Keep Salvagable, previous user has started work. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep fixable, and being fixed. Names of articles can be changed as needed, and there is no time limit in improvement--many articles get fixed after years of activity when someone notices them--the appropriate response on seeing one that is nonetheless of a possibly helpful topic, is to start fixing it, not debate whether its fixable. (Sometimes, admittedly one tries and finds it hopeless, but even then a stub can usually be substituted. ) DGG ( talk ) 15:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Name has been fixed to Oil recycling, which makes the encyclopedia-worthy status of the topic obvious. HERE'S A LINK to a piece on "Used Oil Recycling" by Liz Swain from The Environmental Encyclopedia, for example. And HERE'S SOMETHING from The Oil Daily, November 26, 1991 on the Canadian oil industry coordinating its recycling efforts to improve its public image. And so on. Massive numbers of reliably-sourced articles in the world to choose from... Carrite (talk) 15:50, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep - Firstly, the article has been renamed to Oil recycling. This topic obviously passes WP:GNG. I've done some work to improve the article. Here are some sources that qualify this topic's notability for inclusion in Wikipedia:
