Gran Turismo 4 Car List
This page is simply FAQ-like information, clearly unencyclopedic. The proper course of action is to find a website on the internet with this information and amend the GT4 page to include a link to said page. -- Trypa   Party  21:21, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep almanac-like information is suitable for wikipedia. Kappa 06:41, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Kappa, this is an encyclopedia, not an almanac. Besides, would you really find this in Poor Richards along with the phases of the moon and things?Halidecyphon 15:18, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Depends on if Poor Richard's was or was not published in paper. Klonimus 21:30, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia not a primary source. gamecruft, take your pick. --Calton | Talk 12:44, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Could be wikified and turned into a valuable article, with explanations relevant to the game, etc. However, I think it should be renamed to Gran Turismo 4 car list (sans caps). [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|30px|]] plattopusis this thing on? 14:54, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. this is entirely non notable (we'd need lists of all cars not only in Turismo 1,2 and 3 as well, but cars in every racing game which would set a precedent for listing weapons in first person shooters etc ad infinitum). Include this info in the Gran Turismo article if it is really needed. If it is renamed s plattopus suggested, it should be renamed to List of cars in Gran Turismo 4, using the format of all other lists in wikipedia. Halidecyphon 15:18, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree with Halidecyphon about we then have to list all the cars from the previous games which is a lot. In addition, this kind of information should be at GameFAQs not Wikipedia. This is gamecruft. --Anonymous Cow 16:02, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Not encyclopedic.  RickK 22:24, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-encyclopedic. — Sesel wa  06:31, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a videogame FAQ site. Indrian 07:29, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not GameFAQS. Dave the Red 07:54, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep with a better name - David Gerard 09:49, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as extremely pointless and unencyclopedic. Radiant_* 13:06, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: The Gran Turismo series is known for it's extensive use of licensed cars, and GT4 boasts over 500 of them, plus somebody who plays the game might find more information on thier favorate in-game cars real world counterparts-Deathawk 01:55, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unencyclopaedic gamecruft. --Bucephalus 10:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete While it is notable that Gran Turismo has a ton of licenced cars, I think a list of the licencing companies would be much more useful/encyclopedic. --InShaneee 16:13, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
