The result of the debate was Merge to AMC Gremlin, AMC AMX, AMC Hornet, AMC Javelin, AMC Matador, and AMC Ambassador and delete. Source article is actually List of 1971 American Motors automobiles after the move.

[edit] 1971 American Motors Specifications

This is just a list that can be incorporated into other articles, I see no reason why this should be an article of its own. --ApolloBoy 04:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge Original author asked for merge if needed. --Brad101 06:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above. --Coredesat 09:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

The AMC article is much too long to put this in, nor duplicated after every car. This is a resource that adds to the content of the WP, I cannot believe how much stuff you folks are willing to delete becaues it does not fit somebody's idea of an article, can you quote chapter and verse that tables such as the Periodic Table have no place in the WP. I believe the guideline is that if there is useful information, and it can be edited to be correct that you should edit or change, rather than delete it. Otherwise it will have to be placed outside the WP on a private web page, which can disappear. What you advocate is NOT deletion, but putting somewhere else. You are free to do that, what you suggest is against the spirit of WP.--Wiarthurhu 14:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to the following any unduplicated/useful info:

AMC Gremlin

AMC AMX

AMC Hornet

AMC Javelin

AMC Matador

AMC Ambassador

then Delete. Otherwise an arbitrary list of virtually zero use. --DaveG12345 19:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Come on guys, don't you think a table like this is useful? what a about a table comparing different fighter planes? That would be good too. Sheeeesh. Just more people having a blast knocking down other people's sandcastles. impossible that this is of zero use, or the original popular mechanics article would not have included this same information. A listing of cars without specs is also of use. --Wiarthurhu 22:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

A listing of specs belongs in an article, not as an article. --ApolloBoy 01:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
