Straight-14

There are doubts that notable engines of this configuration really has been built. Anyway, there is no point in having such an article unless something significant can be said. Other than that a Straight-14 has 14 cylinders in a row. -- Egil 16:49, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep - The only known engine of this type became well-known due to these photos, taken at the Aioi Works in Japan and spread through blogs. --SFoskett 17:00, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Since the article is now updated, I'll change my vote into a keep. -- Egil 18:08, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, presumably fascinating to engine devotees. Kappa 21:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Marvelous engine. Klonimus 04:03, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, seems notable enough. Megan1967 07:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Straight-24, Straight-12 etc. Radiant_* 08:14, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. There are two problems with merging all of the inline-engine articles into Straight engine: first, each of the V-engine configurations presently has its separate article; second, one is likely to be looking for the more common configs as, e.g., "Straight 8". I say keep the "14", as it (astonishingly) exists, and delete the Straight-24, unless/until one can be shown to exist. -- Mwanner 22:36, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
