List of vehicles from Grand Theft Auto
Preambulatory note: to understand why this is listed much later than 18 July, keep reading. -- Hoary 08:56, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

This page seems seriously unneccessary. — Cuahl 02:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. You haven't followed the "How to list pages for deletion" steps from WP:VFD, so no-one is aware of this page. I don't think it's a valid deletion proposal either, if the steps aren't followed. --TheParanoidOne 05:51, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I have therefore followed that procedure and plonked everything where I think it belongs -- while deliberately postdating it, to give people a chance to think and vote. (Meanwhile, I am not yet voting.) -- Hoary 08:56, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep. Some people want to know about vehicles from GTA games. --SuperDude 17:06, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand. There is need for a better list of all vehicles from at least the Playstation 2-era games. Plus there has been this Mafia Sentinel article up and well-exposed on Wikipedia's Grand Theft Auto section for months; I don't see why this gang car gets better treatment with its own article. ╫ 25  chatter 07:33, 23 July 2005 (UTC) ╫
 * Weak keep. Little can be explained about most of the vehicles, and it might take a lot of effort to complete the explanations and details (Note the length of the complete list that was recently added). Unless there is additional help here, I'm afraid this article may not be worth the keep. ╫ 25  chatter 11:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC) ╫
 * Delete Maybe merge it with the Grand Theft Auto article? UncleFloyd 14:09, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as per 25. - ulayiti 15:03, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Grand Theft Auto (series). Interesting in the scope of game players, but not as an individual article. Merge to the series because the article has entries on cars from different editions of the game.-Poli (talk &bull; contribs) 16:35, 2005 July 23 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I really, really don't like most lists, and I'm not crazy about this one. But it makes more sense to keep it than to merge it, because it cross-references the appearances of a vehicle in more than one GTA game. It would be difficult to convey the same information on each individual GTA game page. Fernando Rizo 19:14, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Note that some of these cars have their own articles.  Almafeta 01:18, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Grand Theft Auto (series). .... added at 02:30, July 24, 2005 by Nandesuka
 * Merge to Grand Theft Auto (series), since that's the only place on Wikipedia where this article belongs. That is to say, it does not belong in its current location.  The Literate Engineer 05:49, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep If we have yugioh cards, we might as well have this.  Grue   16:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, too long to merge. Should be annotated to point out which vehicles are analogous to which real-world vehicles.  -Sean Curtin 03:29, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Grand Theft Auto (series), as per User:Poli. JamesBurns 03:43, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. If it is intended that the list be as complete as possible, it may be more preferable to Keep the page over merging it onto Grand Theft Auto (series), since the length of the list would overshadow the article it merges to. If the decision to Merge is made, consider summarizing the types of vehicles available, and cite a few notable examples of vehicles based off its real-life counterparts. ╫ 25 ring-a-ding  05:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC) ╫
 * Keep. List which is of interest to the fans of an unfortunately popular game. Too big to merge. Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge the barest minimum into Grand Theft Auto (series). Despite being a big huge fan of the "unfortunately"(?) popular game, I can't see keeping a list of names. But it could eventually turn into a fully-illustrated guide. What I'd rather see is a "noteworthy cars" thing at the bottom of the series (or even individual games) page(s), and then if it grows it can be split out again. Something like that.

 * Keep and clean up -- The Time Killer
 * Delete. I have a test I like to apply for potential gamecruft: Is it at least as notable as the individual Pokemon? GTA is certainly as important as Pokemon, but the likelihood of any but the most anal-retentive fan to take note of the vehicle names and stylings is very low. Take it to GameFAQs. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 03:43, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
