Discuss: Merge with Cars (film)

 * Do Not Merge i believe that this article should remain a seperate article because it refers to a location, wether fictional or not —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.113.174.84 (talk • contribs) 22:16, July 13, 2006 (UTC)
 * Do Not Merge on principle; since the merge box came out of the clear blue, with zero discussion (there wasn't even a talk page for this article until recently, weeks after the merge box showed up), I cannot vote for a merge. Give me a good reason why it should be merged, and I'll reconsider. --Joe Sewell 00:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Do Not Merge the Cars article is already too long.. and as it is a city with details, it should have its own separate article. -AMK152 03:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge I think it should be merged, as, although this "town" has its own details borrowed from real towns, the reality of the town itself is contained entirely within this one movie. -Mewtation 02:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge I can't see any reason for this having its own page. What next, a site for each store in the town? MrMarmite 15:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Result: Do Not Merge. If the person who threw the box up there wishes to try again, explain the motivations next time. --Joe Sewell 16:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Any relation/similitude to Colorado Springs?

Discus: Merge Casa Della Tires into this.
I think it's taking it too far to make articles for all the individual business of the town. CDT should be merged into this article. RMS Oceanic 12:56, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia agreed. That article was merged into Cars (film) Pianostar9 (talk) 13:30, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Merge
Some users have been merging the article into the Cars (film) article, which was discussed earlier with a result of Do Not Merge. When they merge the article, it keeps on coming back. I believe that the article should not be merged. A•N•N•A   hi!  14:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If you recall, we had another discussion on the main article regarding this, the toy line, and a couple of others, thus overtaking this older one. It doesn't need to come back. TTN 14:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * See the above discussion, with a result of Do Not Merge.  A•N•N•A    hi!  14:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Consensus can change, so when a new discussion happens, it changes. We aren't forced to stick with older discussions if new ones happen. TTN 14:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * And so far, the only person who has said anything about merging it is you, TNN. Every other comment states to keep it separate.  Yeah, I know, I'm not an account holder, so you probably will ignore me.  Oh, well.  68.52.88.131 05:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

California vs. Arizona
I thought in the movie it said Radiator Springs was in Arizona, which is what the article says. But the article is categorized as "Fictional towns and cities in California" and is part of Wikiproject California. I'm going to move it to the US category.Squad51 21:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, Radiator Springs is in New Mexico.  A•N•N•A    hi!  22:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, the evidence favors Arizona, as stated in the article. I can find no direct evidence in the film to support New Mexico.  63.3.19.129 (talk) 08:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Not Deleted
The section in Cars (film) was getting long, so it became an article again on 16 January, 2014. There's no reason to re-delete it. Pianostar9 (talk) 13:47, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Los Angeles International Speedway
I was thinking about what it says about the LAIS (which I realize is from the Pixar Fandom page), and I'm wondering about the evidence for the assertion. The Arroyo Seco/Rose Bowl connection seems beyond dispute. As for the Coliseum, the only distinctive feature I can recognize is the break in the upper ring of the bowl with a flat section. However, in the LAMC, this on an end of the oval, whereas in the LAIS it's along a side. I'm not familiar with the Auto Club Speedway, but at first glance don't recognize anything particularly similar to the animated track. It also seems to me that there is an inspiration missing, as the exterior is somewhat Spanish Mission/Romanesque. A bit like Stanford University. It seems to put me in mind of a horse racing track, maybe Del Mar? Would appreciate any thoughts or insights on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Caledon (talk • contribs) 18:35, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
