I am at a loss to know where to start on this article that begins with telling us where 'Britian' is! It then goes onto mention two seemingly arbitrarily chosen motor manufacturers, states that the headquarters of Daihatsu is in Britian when its in Japan and then goes into a complete nonsense passage about 'Britian plates'.

  • Keep Good idea, bad article..page need a complete refurb. --Camaeron (t/c) 20:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • So THAT's where Britain is located. I was figuring somwhere north of Canada. And it's home to over five automobile manufacturers. But is it home to over six automobile manufacturers? I'm pretty sure this article has been done elsewhere, and it can be redirected to there. Mandsford (talk) 20:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete all three, I just added List of Japanese Cars, which is very similar to the other two. All they seem to do is take the first few lines from each of the manufacturers in the country and duplicate the info in the respective article. With a description of where the country is and license plates from the country. Jons63 (talk) 20:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete all three, per nom and subsequent delete comments. – ukexpat (talk) 21:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete the British Article, as it is to plain and mundane for the brain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.160.51.45 (talk) 21:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete all - I don't know what the passage "Britian plates" is talking about about - not British license plates, anyway. JohnCD (talk) 21:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
It is not about British plates, it is the paragraph from the List of Japanese Cars article. Jons63 (talk) 21:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
That says it all about the standard of fact-checking/editing here! JohnCD (talk) 21:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete all, mish-mash messes. We have articles like Japanese automobile industry already. --Dhartung | Talk 22:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I think i can see what the author is trying to get at but these articles (especially German Cars) are stylistically and factually greviously all over the shop. I am doubtful if they could ever clean up re WP:HEY as any resultant sourced info would still amount to nothing more than a repetition of parts of existing articles as they pertain to a subjective view of the Japanese market.Plutonium27 (talk) 23:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment See also British cars by the same editor (and British motor industry, which isn't) --Dweller (talk) 23:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete all per most everything above. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 03:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete All or Merge All of this could probably be stuck under automobile. --Sharkface217 03:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, although the tables of production - probably the only salvageable elements - could be folded into the relevant

automotive industry by country article. Gr1st (talk) 11:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete All Thais article has no use because the wikipages of british car makes cover this. IwilledituHi :) 00:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
