Dodge Demon
I have a direct, broad, and deep knowledge of the Chrysler A-body chronology and model range around the world, and for the purposes of this encyclopædia it is just as irrelevant as whatever knowledge you might have—you have already been pointed at a convenient quick primer of the core Wikipedia principles that form the reasons why. They are also the reasons we will not be quibbling over which of us you might believe knows more than whom. Plymouth Duster merits its own article because that model name was used on no fewer than four different vehicles (A-body, F-body, L-body, P-body), the first of which was a nominal submodel of the Valiant (i.e., "Plymouth Valiant Duster", badged as such) only for its first year, 1970. Starting in 1971, the Plymouth Duster was marketed as such, with no Valiant badges and with enough variety in equipment and configuration not available on Valiant models that it stands firmly and supportably on its own as a vehicle model warranting its own article. The Demon, on the other hand, was a nominal submodel of the Dart for the bare two years it existed, and it was equipped as such with the exception of one appearance package (Sizzler) not available on other Darts. That is why Dodge Dart is the appropriate place for coverage of the 1971-'72 Demon; this is even more the case when you consider that the submodel was brought even closer to the main model range name starting in 1973 (Dart Sport).

As for the unencyclopædic nature of your contribution: It bore not a single solitary citation to any source, let alone any reliable source, and it was full of flowery adjectives and fanboy-style attempts at emulating the style of a writer for an automobile enthusiast magazine. It included discussion about rumors, it was a jumble of unchronological assertions about the '76 Aspen and the '67 Dart and whatnot, and it contained no substantive material not already presented far more encyclopædically at Dodge Dart. I'm sorry to sound as harsh as this must, and I realize you are passionate about the subject; your contributions are welcome but they must be made in accordance with encyclopædic principles and Wikipedia policy or they just won't last; they'll be deleted or reverted and your effort will have been wasted. The good news, though, is that like most all articles on Wikipedia, Dodge Dart certainly is by no means complete and is very much in need of passionate, interested contributors, so please take a little time to study up on how we do things here and then…set to work improving Dodge Dart with accurate assertions well supported by reference to reliable sources. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 05:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
