[edit] Bumper repair

Bumper repair (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

(They are "fenders" in the US aren't they?) Non-neutral, campaign piece. Original research. -- RHaworth 17:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Who new bumper repair was such a detailed subject? :-) Borderline spam, looks like a news release or white paper, at least something copied form another source. Not notable and full of original "research". Realkyhick 18:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox and this reads like some political stance or something, instead of something encyclopedic. Useight 20:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. OR, essay, synthesis of sources into something that was not indicated in those sources.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 22:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • "Delete' Although bumpers are an important part of the automobile and are heavily regulated by the governments of the world, I agree with Realky that this article appears to be copied straight off of a source that hasn't been identified. Anyway, it says very little about the repair of bumpers. I liked the method Danny DeVito used in the film Matilda. Question to RHaworth: Over here fenders are the side of the car that partially protect the tires, and they are frequently dented in a "fender bender" (which can include other non-injury wrecks). So what do you call that part of the automobile, and do you have a rhyming phrase that's the equivalent of fender-bender? (BTW, Bumper Stumpers was the name of a game show about license plates, rather than the name for a dented bumper). Mandsford 22:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • "Wing". Can't think of any rhyming phrase. "Prang" is generic for any car damage - is that trans-Atlantic or British? -- RHaworth 13:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and edit into a better article--possibly find a better title--if one actually reads it, it discusses repair of automobile body panel by actually repairing the damaged part itself, rather than by replacing it. This is a widely used alternative method, and there should be sources. DGG (talk) 04:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

  • from--Tutonias 04:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)to: RHaworth& Mandsford respectfully I ask you please give the editor the benefit of doubt. This is not plagiarism until you can prove otherwise.thanks anyway.--Tutonias 04:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)To: DGG I appreciate your help and suggestions and therefore I provided further reference readings and some pictures.I think the article can be improved but prefer to wait for the discussion to be over to devote more time to it if the article is kept.Thanks to all of you--Tutonias 04:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
