-
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Transportation}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Transportation.
Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

[edit] Transportation
[edit] Vanden Plas 1500/1750
It's not a notable model, I don't see why it needs a whole article, it may as well just sit within the 'parent' article with all the other model types. Ged UK (talk) 13:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
(copying over from article discussion page)I respectfully disagree with the deletion request. The Vanden Plas model had a different nameplate to the Allegro, was finished in a different factory and was issued a different brochure. I believe that for the purposes of official government tests (fuel economy etc) the models were considered distinct from the Allegro, but I will have to check in the brochure when I dig it out.
It is unfortunate that I had barely started this article when it was listed for deletion - the car has only a small mention in the main Allegro article, and I thought I would start a new article that I could expand over time.

- Delete the Vanden Plas is a notable brand, however we already have an article about that, and VP was a name used by British Leyland on a vast array of its cars over time - we used to own a Maestro Vanden Plas, for instance. There's nothing tremendous here that isn't already in Vanden Plas. -- Roleplayer (talk) 14:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

- Delete (and merge data into Austin Allegro) — whilst I sympathise with the assertion by the article's creator that this was to some extent a different model, finished (note, not "built") in a different factory, the fact remains that the parent company was a past master at badge engineering, and for the purposes both of (a) informing the reader in an easily understandable way (in one place), and (b) of maintaining consistency amongst other BMC and BL articles regarding badge-engineered cars, we should keep the VDP models as a section of the Austin Allegro article, and expand the section. Any info which is too broad for that article probably belongs in the Vanden Plas article. I would like to see a redirect maintained from the present deletion candidate, however. – Kieran T (talk) 23:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
