Per WP:GNG & WP:NOTABILITY this the topic does not meet Wikipedia' notability requirements, coverage is limited to manufacturer manuals & enthusiast sites with NO significant independent sources.... Also Hycomat is a feature of the Trabant 601 not standalone topic and should be merged I THINK into the main Trabant 601 article... Thilio^{R O B O T🤖 talk} 17:04, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it should be given more time Nicebear12345 (talk) 17:05, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per WP:GNG and WP:NOTABILITY: Hycomat is a feature of the Trabant 601 not independently notable; merge into Trabant 601.
• Merge with Trabant 601: per above comment by Thilio. Bagwe Neza (talk) 17:38, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The corresponding article in German at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hycomat is significantly longer and has several additional references, which seems to suggest that the topic is independently notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:40, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge Most of the German article is just an explanation of how the clutch works, largely sourced to the primary sources (translated) Operating Instructions TRABANT 601, Supplement to the operating instructions Trabant 601 Hycomat, and Repair manual TRABANT 601 and the trade journal Automotive Engineering: Technical Journal of the Automotive Industry. This doesn't seem independently notable or something we should be going into the detail the German article has. Reywas92^Talk 23:25, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
