Overview Section Removal
Should the majority of the "Overview" section be removed?

Except for the first and last paragraph, most of the information in the "Overview" section has nothing specifically to do with ALCPA. This additional information is a general discussion of license plate collecting, but is not directly related to ALPCA as an organization.

The overview is really already written, and it is the first four paragraphs above the Overview section. If you look at other collection/collector related websites they do not delve into material that does not directly relate to their organization. See the following websites for examples.


 * American Numismatic Association
 * American Philatelic Society
 * Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America
 * North American Vexillological Association
 * Comic Book Collecting Association

There are already several articles regarding license plates that already encompass much of the overview material such as the following.


 * []
 * Vehicle registration plates of the United States

Even if other articles do not cover the material in the "Overview" section, the non-ALPCA related material should be removed or moved to another article.

Finally, the "Overview" section has been flagged because the majority of it that is non-ALPCA related for over a year for not having references. The part that has references is material that I have already worked on with the exception of the last paragraph.
