Besides being a mess, it's just an ad. RickK 19:28, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)

  • I think this is a big name in Mercedes tuning, but if someone in the know wants to write a decent encylopedic article they can do better than this. Delete in current form keep new version. Ianb 20:40, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is certainly a major company, but I agree that the article sucks - I have edited it and verified what little information was there, and now I think it's an okay stub. Rdsmith4 | Talk 15:59, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Brabus' wroom is pretty famous. bbx 01:33, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Looks good to me, and not being a car-type-person, I'll take your word on notability. --Ardonik 02:17, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from BRABUS to Brabus as the result of a move request.

The result of the proposal was - unopposed move to follow WP:MOSTM. Keith D (talk) 17:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

BRABUS → Brabus — It is a syllabic abbreviation, not acronym (i.e. Bra.Bus., not B.R.A.B.U.S.) so should not be written in all caps as per WP:MOS-TM guidelines. —Fatsamsgrandslam (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
