Propose converting table to paragraphs with headings

The tabular format with significant sections of text is not particularly readable, especially on mobile devices. Many of these companies/projects are possibly not notable enough to warrant their own page; however, the information contained here is still useful, although arguably not in the current format. Therefore I am proposing to convert the table into a series of sections/subsection with a paragraph or two for each project/device/concept, and try to update this page with more recent information as I do so. One slight downside of this is loosing the ability to sort by location & technology type, however the former could be mitigated by grouping entries by country.

Thought/comments welcome, cheers, Drnoble (talk) 11:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging content from Energen Wave Power

Since Energen Wave Power has been flagged as not notable for 10 years, and needing further citations for 7 years I went looking to find further information, and struggled to find anything about this. I therefore propose merging the pertinent content into this page, which I am currently expanding and updating each project.

The second reference on the Energen page is a 2 line mention in a generic list (link dead but found on archive.org)^[1]

The only other source I could find was a 1 line mention in a 2019 review of wave energy companies, that listed the development stage as "closed".^[2]

@Trackinfo, Mccapra, Beagel, Biscuittin, and Adriandacosta: ==Merger discussion for Energen Wave Power== An article that you have been involved in editing—Energen Wave Power—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Drnoble (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't know how this constantly happens. An editor approaches an article and sees a question about sources, so let's find a way to make this article go away. We have a WP policy of WP:BEFORE, which means you should look. Lift a finger; use your editing skills to fix the problem. If you fail, then go ahead and cause a discussion.

I have added three more sources to this article. No, they aren't wonderful, but they add on to backing up what is said in the article. I didn't need to get off the first page of a Google search. The most basic search. Obviously nobody ahead of me even tried.

So no, I don't think this should be merged, which will result in the deletion of this content in favor of consolidation into a list.Trackinfo (talk) 08:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did actually search for reputable sources, including through 20 years of the IEA Ocean Energy Systems annual reports, google web/scholar, etc. and only found cursory mentions in a couple articles, one of which you have added. Your third source is a circular reference back to this wikipedia page, so I didn't mention that. I have no problem if you feel strongly about keeping this page, it was just my understanding that it did not, and still does not, meet the criteria in WP:NOTE.
