Talk:Bugatti Type 57S Atalante (57502)

Notability?
I applied the notability tag to this article. The current most expensive car sold at auction doesn't have its own article, so why should this one which is presently only "speculated" according to the article itself to possibly be the most expensive car at auction.

 * Yep this should me merged to Bugatti Type 57 article --Typ932 T&middot;C 19:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Replied at the merge discussion. MickMacNee (talk) 23:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I have closed that merge discussion, with the result of pasting the Background section of this article over there. If there is still a notability issue, then I suggest Afd, as I do not believe this article being merged into the Type article will achieve anything but unbalance that article.

Photograph
The photograph was copylifted from a publication. I'm sorry, but trying to justify the copyright violation with gymnastics is silly. It's a copyrighted image, and that's all there is to it. It *IS NOT* a "unique historic image" as the description asserts, it is a copyrighted image owned by "NORTH NEWS & PICTURES LTD." Proxy User (talk) 15:04, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The image was identified as a copyrigthed image, as it had an appropriate non-free use rationale. I am restoring it. If you want to debate the validity of the rationale, the correct venue is WP:IFD. MickMacNee (talk) 02:28, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Bugatti Type 57S Atalante number 57502 → Bugatti Type 57S Atalante (57502) —A fancruft title for this article: an average Joe and Joan Public, despite being interested in Bugattis, is not likely to know what serial number that car is and will not be an interest to them as all they will only remember is for being that car that sold for that said million. Only historians, enthusiasts, auctioneers and those involved in the industry will only be those who are likely to take interest to car serial numbers. Relisted.

 * Ambivolent. The title was most definitely not chosen because I am a producer of FANCRUFT, so unless you are sure, its probably best not to throw around labels that some find offensive. As to the suggested rename, I cannot see why (57502) would make any more sense to readers. Why not (No. 57502)? MickMacNee (talk) 13:22, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't mean to call you a fancruft and apologies if I offended you as I didn't think it was offensive at first. As with this article or any article, I was thinking how about (s/n 57502), considering most enthusiasts refer serial numbers as s/n.


 * Serial numbers have the advantage of clarity and uniqueness - as your own suggested name shows. We could call it the "Earl Howe" Bugatti 57 instead, or the Newcastle Bugatti, but Earl Howe had type 35s as well and Newcastle smacks a little of WP:OR. I'd have no opinion on either the current name, or your alternative, but neither is fancruft. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It depends on what this car was known as, its almost like naming an article about the record breaking ex-James Corburn Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder as Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder (James Corburn), I say as what I mentioned about, how about t (s/n 57502). Donnie Park (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's known as "57502", because it's a black Atalante and that's the simplest way to refer to it, that distinguishes it from other black Atalantes. If anything, we could call it "Dr Wotsit's Bug". Andy Dingley (talk) 19:57, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

What I removed and why
Andy Dingley: here's a detailed breakdown of what content I removed from the article. I do believe none of it was important, let me know what you think.

"it fell short of the £3 million reserve price, selling for £2,989,495"
How can something sell below reserve? --85.249.40.80 (talk) 12:16, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
