Well, there is not much I can contest about this article being recently created, it was, and having no relevant page history, although I don't know what that second criteria has to do with anything. This page does not, however, merely duplicate an existing English Wikipedia topic, and the purposes and benefits of such an outline are discussed in the essays Why do we have outlines in addition to...? and WikiProject Outlines/Rationale -AndrewDressel (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2012 (UTC).

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:12, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Change name to "Outline of tire topics "
This article is an outline of tire topics, not one of actual tires or even (anymore) the article, Tire. Therefore I propose to change the name to "Outline of tire topics". HopsonRoad (talk) 13:21, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Meh. For the same reason that all outline articles titles don't start with "Hierarchical outline", none should end with "topics". It is implied. -AndrewDressel (talk) 23:23, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Proposal withdrawn per Outlines. HopsonRoad (talk) 02:11, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
