Title of this article should include the maker
While the precise vehicle brand and model is named in the title, the maker is not. Most readers are not car enthusiasts, so will not immediately recognize what a "Dino 246 GTS" is. Both cited sources call this vehicle a "Ferrari", so Wikipedia should too, especially because Fiat also manufacture a "Dino". This the title of this article should include the name of the car maker, "Ferrari", to avoid confusion with the Fiat Dino. Wikipedia articles should use a commonly recognizable name. While Ferrari might not have put its brand on the vehicle, preferring to use the brand "Dino", nevertheless they still make the vehicle so it is a Ferrari as far as most people will be concerned. In some respects being less precise with the title results in more recognizable title. The details of brand and model can be mentioned in the article, these don't really need to be in the title. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Cameron Dewe I referred to the car that way in the title in an attempt for maximum accuracy. I might suggest “Buried Ferrari Dino incident” as a redirect page, but if the consensus is that that should be the main article title, I don't have a strong objection. --Jtle515 (talk) 00:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Jtle515: Thanks for your prompt reply. I was thinking more along the lines of "Buried Ferrari insurance fraud" or "Buried car insurance fraud", or something similar. I think that identifying that the car was a Dino brand car manufactured by Ferrari, while accurate, is being over precise, while using the term "incident" minimizes the reason for the burial was that this was a crime. However, this gives options for what the title of the article should be. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Cameron Dewe In my opinion “Buried Ferrari insurance fraud” and especially “Buried car insurance fraud” give the impression of a phenomenon rather than a particular event. --Jtle515 (talk) 01:07, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Jtle515: Thanks. I see what you mean. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
