Proposed deletion of Scuderia Non Originale


The article Scuderia Non Originale has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I think the term is a term limited to a car club, no evidence of general use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Conflict of interest
Hello, ScuderiaNOman. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Hello, I'm Melody Concerto. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scuderia Non Originale— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Melody Concertotalk 09:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

The name of the club comes from long common use of the phrase. Whether it is considered a positive or a negative descriptor depends on which side of the 'originality is sacred' debate one falls. Traditionally those whom modify classic Italian cars are considered déclassé - as an example although the brakes on a 50 - 75 year old car might be inadequate for safe operation of the vehicle, to modify them with anything other than period-correct parts will draw derisive remarks about the car being a product of 'Scuderia Non Originale'. I first heard this phrase some 20 years ago in reference to a DeTomaso Pantera which had been modified with an ugly, non-original rear spoiler. It implies that the modification is the result of an ignorant and unprofessional mechanic. My 43 year-old Alfa Romeo carries a Scuderia Non Originale badge as I have done much of the restoration work (so far as practical) myself. This serves as an inside joke to let those who know these vehicles well that I am aware of the imperfections in my efforts. So far (I've had the sticker on the bumper for some two years now), I have yet to encounter an Italian car affectionado who did not understand the phrase and the implication. To me, this suggests rather wide recognition.
