[edit] Holden Avestra

Probably a bogus article

• Delete - patent nonsense. A probable WoW sock created this, I think. --Astwell1986 20:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I can't find any evidence that the user, User:HornJackaroo, is a WoW sockpuppet. Andrew pmk | Talk 01:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as clever hoax. Holden is the name of GM in Australia and has been a notable manufacturer and brand in Australia. However, the fact that a Holden Avestra gets no results at all in a Google search presents major verifiability problems see [1] Capitalistroadster 00:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Holden does not make such a car. Andrew pmk | Talk 01:02, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure where the photo came from, but it looks like a promotional photo of an Astra Classic with a doctored license plate. Other pictures of the Astra Classic look very similar. Maybe someone could find this particular one (search Holden's website or Google). Andrew pmk | Talk 01:10, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Found. It's a Holden Viva, which looks quite similar to the Astra (being its successor). The picture appears to be one of the thumbnails here. Andrew pmk | Talk 01:19, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I agree, the license plate is crudely retouched, in a way that no real picture would show, still less one from an image-conscious car manufacturer. Delete. -- The Anome 07:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Move to Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense - IMHO. --Astwell1986 16:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
