The article is almost entirely a synthesis of primary sources; no indication that significant coverage in secondary sources exists. I had redirected it to parent organization Gawker Media but was reverted without either explanation or improvement. Bringing it here per WP:BLAR. Huon (talk) 08:20, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I read Jalopnik. I would be tempted to Merge it into a single line as part of Gawker Media. The irony is that whereas the rest of Gawker's sites are nasty, and justify individual coverage on account of their controversies, Jalopnik is nice and consequently non-notable. The same is true of e.g. Foxtrot Alpha, Black Flag and the other sub-sites. On a wider level this is probably why Gawker has so much negative press - nobody writes about the good bits. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:05, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete to purge all content then Merge, if you look at the Google News, all of the links are to do with Jalopnik as a source. Also I do not see any source indicating that they are notable on it's own. Donnie Park (talk) 20:03, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Next question is, if this article was deleted in 2006, how was this allowed to reemerge. Donnie Park (talk) 20:06, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Gawker Media per Ashley. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 21:38, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
