List of vehicles in The Simpsons
This does not appear to be important in any way. Merely a fan page taking advantage of Wiki"free" dia
 * Keep, fictional vehicles seen by millions of viewers. An alternative to separate pages on each vehicle. Kappa 10:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. I am not certain whether this belongs in terms of a separate article, but it should be somewhere and I am at a loss to identify an appropriate merger.  Jtmichcock 12:46, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * keep per Kappa UkPaolo 14:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - If this is kept, it shouldn't be in this form. This should be broken up, with one-time vehicles going in the (sigh) episode pages, and the one-person or one-family vehicles going in the pages for the relevant characters. That said, my heart would not break if this largely useless trivia were deleted. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 14:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Call me Mr Picky, but this article is not actually a list of cars in The Simpsons, it is more like The Simpsons (vehicles). Obviously I would like to see the massive over-coverage of fictional characters and artefacts substantially curtailed - I would suggest that an encyclopaedia has little reason to cover these things (though it would undoubtedly mention The Simpsons as a cultural influence), I am on record as advocating a separate space for fiction (which would also clean up AfD a lot).  But that is another issue. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 14:23, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, certainly better than separate articles on each vehicle. Agree that it could be renamed Vehicles in The Simpsons. - SimonP 18:15, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to The Simpsons (vehicles). Or transwiki to the hypothetical Wikifiction (if it existed).  Way too much trivia of fictional worlds on WP. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 18:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, weird fancruft, far too much Simpsons coverage already. Andrew Levine 19:08, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very interesting list, and besides, tv is a major cultural force shaping social reality.  Voyager640 19:09, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Andrew Levine (but I count those in the plus column). BD2412  T 19:23, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. As above. Trollderella 20:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a shame that kids are wasting countless hours learning about "vehicles in the Simpsons," yet they cannot tell you when WWI ended. Clearly fancruft. 131.96.2.208 21:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * November 11, 1918, just in case anyone's education is lacking. ;D - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:32, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The Simpsons is far more relavent to our culture than much of the literature studied in schools. -LtNOWIS 21:51, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * More relevant than WWI? Kaaaay... - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:58, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. You might think it's more relevant, but I suspect that time will prove otherwise. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 13:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * delete are you kidding me? I thoughht this was an encyclopedia? JBH 22:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Note:This vote was JBH's 4th edit (first edit November 18, 2005). Almost all other edits are in support of lists that were nominated for deletion--Bob talk 15:14, November 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * And this is relevant because?... JHB is not the only one who objects to listcruft you know. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 13:47, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Delete I like the Simpsons, but there are more then enough Simpsons lists already. Also the show never struck me as that "vehicle centered" a show. Although possibly this could be merged to List of fictional characters within The Simpsons.(A vehicle can be a character, in least after a fashion)--T. Anthony 23:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge in relevant character or family article. Don't rename. Both suggested alternatives break naming conventions. If it's a list it should be called "list of" and qualifiers should be used to disambiguate stuff with the same name, not to name subpages of some sort. That said. The Simpsons is an extremely popular show and the vehicles should be covered. A list is better than loads of vehicle stubs. - Mgm|(talk) 16:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, my head. Delete over-represented fancruft. --Calton | Talk 01:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm a big Simpsons fan, but this is way too trivial. MCB 06:51, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom --Bob 19:57, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think this article is useful.
 * Comment In addition to being a bunch of unimportant trivia, there is the question of whether such information is actually true. From the The Simpsons talk page, we see the following comment (not made by myself, but unsigned):Ryoung122 07:17, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but clean it up and list only the most important vehicles, like the Canyonero. abelson 09:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

There is a separate article: List of vehicles in The Simpsons, so there is no need for that section. Besides, the information there is not true. None of the Yugos that were sold in the US were sedans or station wagons. I suggest that the main article be locked from editing by anonymous users.

Keep
- It is interesting, seems to be correct, and is not hurting anyone to be herre. Let it stay.
 * Keep This article was created as a result of a VfD that said these vehicles should be merged. CanadianCaesar 03:54, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
