[edit] GMC Terradyne

Delete not all concept cars are notable, and this is one such. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Needs expansion and better sourcing, but it looks like it got reasonable coverage in the literature at the time. Ford MF (talk) 18:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've added some sources and info, so I think that should bump the article to a baseline of acceptability. Ford MF (talk) 20:07, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

*Delete: Per Carlos. This is a completely forgettable concept car, which is perhaps made evident by the fact that the article's creator felt that two sentences was enough to adequately convey its importance. Hundreds of concept cars come about every year that never make it to production; some of them influence later models with their technological and/or design innovations, but this is obviously not one of those concepts deserving of a wiki page imo.

• Keep significant RS coverage from which to build an article TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 19:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keepseems notable with added sources. Given the timing and nature of the concept 'release', this article isn't likely to get bigger but it might be fine as it stands. Protonk (talk) 23:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment: The added information and sources make a big difference. The article is much better now, though I'm still not sure of how we should decide which concept cars are notable enough for Wikipedia and which aren't. This is not an important car, but I guess as long as there's information available on it, it's notable enough. Keep...I guess. I feel like a tourist (talk) 02:34, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Concept cars are not notable unless there's something very, VERY special about them. That's not the case here. (By the way, the article contains at least one huge inaccuracy: no 5000 Watt generator can power an entire house.)  Channel ®    21:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

• I don't want to be told Other stuff exists, but there sure are a lot of concept (Silly wiki link doesn't work, or perhaps I'm incapable of working it) cars on wikipedia right now. I would submit that the same thing that makes those cars notable (major press coverage, specific and notable designers, support from major corporations and display at international conventions) probably makes this car notable. That, in a sense, is the "good" side of WP:OSE. Protonk (talk) 00:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
