List of names for the Volkswagen Type 1

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced and trivial / indiscriminate collection of names. If this were English-only and properly referenced then it might have some use as content within Volkswagen Beetle, but I doubt anyone on English Wikipedia needs to know what coloquial name for the Bettle is in Ulan Bator or Wagga Wagga.

 * Comment - well, it is certainly not WP:INDISCRIMINATE as the list has a clearly-delimited coverage and it sticks to it. There is also NO requirement for WP to stick to English, and our readers (and editors) are just as interested in things from other languages than this one. As for whether people want to know, the article has been visited about 14,500 times in the past year. Finally, the question for AfD is not whether an article contains references, but whether such can be found. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:20, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - shame on you for attacking the good people of Wagga Wagga for their beetle beetles, Biker Biker! LOL. Agree it's not indiscriminate, as the list is quite clearly a distinct list of a particular thing. A list of names of a particular car (make, model and type) is pretty specific. If I were a VW enthusiast looking to travel to Chile then I'd be quite interested to know that I should ask for a "Poncho" rather than a "Poncho" (boy am I glad we made that distinction!). Sure, it could do with some more references but I think it's probably worth keeping. Stalwart 111  04:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - it is probably the only car on the planet that I would support this type of list for though. I think with a bit of research into reliable sources we could establish that its nickname is notable. What is it called in Wagga anyway? NealeFamily (talk) 08:26, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
