[edit] Volvo XC50

Volvo XC50 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Renomination. Dates given for the introduction of this car have passed, and all avaliable sources suggest it has been renamed the XC60. Delete or Redirect. Bduddy 21:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

• Striking Delete vote - it is almost certainly a former name. As one voter seems to think the article should be deleted anyway, though, I will not attempt to have this closed. Bduddy 21:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The article says it should not be confused with the XC60. I see no reason to keep it unless we can find proof on the redirect Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:10, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - There are plenty of resources that indicate it's in development (mostly in non-English languages). [1] [2] (indicates it's for 2008) [3]. --Oakshade 03:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't see anything on those webpages (except for the Infomotori article, which is unverified, and the other article sourcing it) that says XC50 is anything but a former name for the now officially announced Volvo XC60 However, I am open to more sources if you can find them - I certainly couldn't.

• Redirect to Volvo Cars. We cannot have all prototype of cars of all manufacturers of the world listed in Wikipedia. We won't have much to say about them except marketing stuff. We don't do marketing. Let them launch it first or unless it got some brand new technology. The article says it was projected for mid 07 so i don't think it would be a good idea to update the article every month until they launch it. -- GarbageCollection - ^!Collect 05:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete? Redirect to Volvo? Sigh... clearly it is, at the very least, the former name of the upcoming Volvo XC60 (as per [4], [5], and [6], which took about ten seconds of Googling). Ergo merge/redirect to Volvo XC60, and make sure the XC50 is mentioned in the opening, so that WP readers unfamiliar with the new name know why they've been redirected. AfD is unnecessary; nom should have tagged the page with {{mergeto}} and the discussion should have gone on at Talk:Volvo XC50. --DeLarge 11:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
