Chang'an CV8
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Was legitimately prodded by another author. Prod removed by main editor however article still appears (as per the previous prod) to be a non notable car - with no sources & indeed the one link provided is a Chinese link which does not assist this article. -- VS talk 07:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - at this stage as per my nomination.-- VS talk 08:02, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It's very strange AfD,the notability depends on where you live and what you have learnt.The orginal reason of PROD is absurd,nn car no sources to say why this should be on here--Ksyrie(Talkie talkie) 07:57, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Again Ksyrie - I'd be happy to support you but can you show links that verify notability. Where I live and what I have learned is immaterial - every reader who opens up the page on this vehicle is entitled to be able to see on that page that there is such a car, that it is notable and be able to check to see if the references are accurate.-- VS talk 08:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You are right,and why I remove the previous PROD is its obvious strange reason for PROD,otherwise you can place in all pages with the words nn blablabla,I don't think why it's here--Ksyrie(Talkie talkie) 08:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment The best guidance we have here is probably Notability (vehicles) although it's just an essay, not a policy or guideline. This car would qualify as a "type", so it may be inherently notable, like the Ford Fiesta. The rest is probably down to sourcing and a stronger assertion of notability.  I'll see if I can do anything.   Ka renjc 09:18, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * keep What the hell is going on here? There are no grounds for deletion if the car exists. Man with two legs (talk) 22:58, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 08:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes there is. It is because the car is non-notable. Wikipedia is not for everything that exists. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 16:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and move to Chang'an Zhixiang, which is the production name for the car previously code-named the CV8 (i.e. reverse the redirect). I've added some references to reviews of the car that show notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:36, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
