Virgin Fuel

Right now, there is no such thing as Virgin Fuel, just rumours and speculations. Even when invented and used it probably wells under some existing type of alternative fuels and it needs to establish its notability. Fact that Virgin Group is notable does not make Virgin Fuel notable. Beagel (talk) 06:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think that, realistically, notability is inherited to some degree. If Virgin Fuel exists and has traded to any degree, it is probably notable. Can someone research as to whether it really exists? There are some reports here, here and here - but they all speak in future tense, and Richard Branson is the type who might announce a big idea that turns into vaporware. - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - absent any reliable sources, then this should be deleted as per both WP:CRYSTAL and the first line Virgin Fuel is a rumored "clean" fuel. Codf1977 (talk) 13:35, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious Merge to Virgin Group. There are sources discussing this subject, so if it's not notable as a standalone it should be merged to the parent subject. Freakshownerd (talk) 15:40, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
