Talk:List of automobiles sales by model
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would order them by sales, instead of alphabetic name. --Altermike 18:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- There's already a page for that, at List of bestselling vehicle nameplates. The trouble is, we have no external verification for the "rankings", and to compile such a list is therefore original research. This page was created specifically to avoid that problem (see Talk:List of bestselling vehicle nameplates for previous conversations on the matter). --DeLarge 20:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong title
This page is not a List of automobiles by sales but a "list of automobiles by name with sales". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Java13690 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] La Marquise?
I was going to add the La Marquise to this article. Sales: 1. It last sold in August for over $3,000,000. Unfortunately, it was made in 1884. Any good reason the list starts in 1886? -- Kendrick7talk 02:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be under "M", if anywhere? I'm assuming the "La" is just the French definite article. According to the CNN reference, that's only its nickname, and its true name is De Dion-Bouton et Trepardoux. Although to be honest, cars like this look a bit out of place here. "One-off" doesn't really need quantifying, which was the point of creating the page... ---- DeLarge (talk) 20:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm, De Dion-Bouton et Trepardoux is the make. I think it would be under "L" since it's a foreign definite article; you wouldn't look up La Bamba under "B". It does fit under the current inclusion category, though I'd be fine with re-figuring the parameters. -- Kendrick7talk 20:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
