Barabus TKR

 * — (View AfD)

Non-notable vapormobile; see Articles for deletion/Barabus TKR. TomTheHand 11:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as repost. So tagged. MER-C 12:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's pretty clearly a new article on the same topic, so I don't think it meets the criteria for speedy deletion. TomTheHand 15:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it's a rewrite so isn't really a G4. --Interiot 20:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * STRONG Keep. I didn't create this article, but it's certainly notable - I just added 3 references. A quick Google search verifies this article is notable. The Chicago Sun-Times mentioned the Barabus TKR as the fastest car in the world, as did many automobile magazines and journals internationally. — Wackymacs 12:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The car does not exist. Please check out the previous AFD, where you can see more information. An unknown company brought a concept car to an auto show in July 2006, claimed it was the fastest car in the world, and then disappeared; their home page has been down since August.

 * Interesting. Maybe it warrants an article simply because it was a very successful hoax, then? — Wackymacs 13:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think it was a hoax. I think it was a failed business venture that never actually produced anything.  If we had reliable sources saying that it was a hoax I would probably consider that notable, depending on the circumstances.  However, we shouldn't have articles on every failed attempt to build the best x in the world. TomTheHand 13:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - appears to be fake, and not really notable as a hoax. Jayden54 13:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. OK I've changed my mind. Non-notable. — Wackymacs 15:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the concerns raised in the previous AfD have been addressed or have changed.  The manufacturer is unknown, the car got no mainstream coverage while it was around, the car was supposed to have been released in November 2006, and the website has been down for many months.  --Interiot 20:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per my arguments on previous AFD. Philwelch 06:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Interiot. Dionyseus 08:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
