[edit] Dampervan, Toybota

Yet more Top Gear cruft, the Dampervan and Toybota only ever featured on one episode of the show. Nevertheless, they are long articles and appear to have many incoming links, so I'm hesistant to simply prod or speedy them. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 19:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. Nuttah68 20:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Never understood the reasoning. If we allow this, we might as well make a page for the Indestrucable Hilux. --293.xx.xxx.xx 06:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge This article should be merged into the top ger article or the jeremy clarkson article.--Lucy-marie 11:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Parts of this info on the Toybota are already on the Toyota Hilux page. We don't need more fancruft on either of those two pages. --293.xx.xxx.xx 07:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge These are great, but shouldnt have their own pages. Merge them into either top gear or the individual pages of the presenters. --Batchelor 09:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Again, they are fan cruft. Please note Wikipedia:Fancruft. --293.xx.xxx.xx 22:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

• Clearly these articles should remain because the subjects are legendary and have gone down in Top Gear folklore!--195.93.21.10 16:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• I'm not a Wikipedia enthusiast or anything by any means, but if you have episode-by-episode summaries of various TV shows, such as South Park, I don't see how this can be seen as excessive. Perhaps if the TG community was up for it, episode summaries could be done in the fashion of those other TV shows, and relative and well-done information, such as these two articles, could be put in those episode summaries.

• Speedy Delete List of Top Gear episodes. From the looks of it, addition of these articles to the episode list or the main Top Gear article would do more harm than good. It's fancruft only known to a select few. --72.234.211.221 21:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. One part of one episode. Yes it was very funny but it really isn't encyclopedic. Make mention of them in List of Top Gear episodes but certainly don't merge to presenters. violet/riga (t) 08:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and don't merge. Already covered in enough detail on the Hilux and the list of Top Gear episodes articles. --Guinnog 14:23, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
