Chevrolet Apollo
Also Image:Chevroletapollo.jpg

This article was created by Willy vandal, who has a curious contribution history: offering commentary on other vandal socks, creating this article, adding it to Articles for deletion on September 16 without actually creating an Afd page (like this one). This needs to be researched as a possible hoax. -- Curps 16:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep this site seems to verify there is such a car.  I'm on my way out, so I can't verify the information in the article right now.  If someone else doesn't, I'll do it later this afternoon. --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 17:46, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chevrolet Nova. Here's the deal.  There was a car by Buick named the Apollo, which was a rebadging of the Chevrolet Nova.  See the chevy nova article for a reference on this.  Also note that a google search for "chevrolet apollo" -wikipedia  turns out very few results, while "buick apollo"  turns out many more. --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 23:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a real car. (The image is probably a copyvio however.) Andrew pmk | Talk 19:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain -- I really don't know... but, it seems to me that this car says between 1989 and 1997... while the Chevy Appollo I've seen is from 73 to 75 as per that website and other things and looks different from the image. I don't really know... but, hoax definitely seems likely to me as of now.  I am putting the image up with  so it should be gone in 7 days if no one sources it. gren グレン 20:35, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to Merge into Holden Apollo with redirect. That seems to have the Google share: [keyword:%22holden%20apollo%22 9800 hits] with confirmation of the Camry link. Definitely needs cleanup, though. I can only find references to Australian sales (as I'd expect from a Holden). See also the Haynes manual here. &mdash; mendel &#9742; 00:14, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It seems like the holden apollo was a re-badged Toyota. The article on Chevy Apollo says, among other things it was manufactured by Chevy and Holden.  Have you found any information to prove that Chevy manufactured a version of the Apollo with Holden?  --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 01:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I haven't found anything that confirms that a 1990s Chevy Apollo existed. That's why I think this article, which talks about the 1990s Holden Apollo based on the Camry, should be moved to Holden Apollo, and the unverifiable bits removed. &mdash; mendel &#9742; 04:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Holden Apollo. -- Apyule 07:48, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (and don't merge, although the submitter's record makes me wonder if it's a copyvio). It does seem to be genuine. It seems GM released several cars under this name, based on a variety of different platforms.  In addition to the Holden/Toyota thing, it was also based on the Chevy Nova (see Chevy_Nova) - so I don't think there's a single vehicle-platform article we can sensibly merge'n'redirect to.  Is there a naff cars wikiproject at whom we can chuck this problem?  But delete the image - its redundant with images (of better provenance) that we already have. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 12:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge with Holden Apollo, the Chevy and Holden Apollo's clearly at least share the name. As the Holden page has no picture, I suggest using this picture on it. -Drdisque 22:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
