• Keep or Merge to Semi-trailer. Needs to be cleaned-up in tone and properly sourced. A quick search found this [[1]] and [[2]] and with more time I expect better sources can be found. But the concept is worth mentioning in the Semi-trailer article if there is not enough info available to support a separate article. We have one on Trailer skirt and I would expect that a similar article on Teardrop trailer could be developed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by MB (talk • contribs) MB 05:50, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment it doesn't sound terribly advertorial to me. It describes the product, it's usage and apparent advantages for fuel economy and such, but I wouldn't say ADVERT really and truly applies. And if it does, it wouldn't take much to fix it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or Merge. (EDIT: in theory, in the real world who will ever edit it?) Advertisement? No manufacturer's name (EDIT: It is only one company site, the other just points to it). Unsourced trivia? About truck fuel economy? Hardly trivia. It specifically talks about "commercial tractor units", and "commercial tractor-trailer" when talking about fuel economy, the reason the trailer exists at all. Should it go into Semi-trailer truck, not Semi-trailer (why are there two articles on one truck type?). Maybe hook up with Trailer skirt, something about truck aerodynamics? They would make a good section at least.Sammy D III (talk) 23:30, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Merge to Semi-trailer. When you look for "Tear-drop trailer truck" on the web the only hits are mostly promotional or semi-promotional article for Don-Bur. Otherwise tear-drop trailer is a small rather cute camper --Domdeparis (talk) 10:16, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Neologism not in common use. Article written like an advert. The Proffesor (talk) 21:40, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
