Market and sales of the Nissan Leaf

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Inappropriate and unnecessary split. Contains a collection of partially obsolete material (e.g., "Sakes of the Leaf willl begin in the UK in June 2013...) WP is NOT A PRODUCT CATALOG  DGG ( talk ) 03:19, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Ever since I started tagging several of these electric car articles as waaaay too long (12,000 to 15,000 words!) and filled with unencyclopedic street prices, shopper's comparison guides, and other sales information (see WP:NOT, various sections), and asking for GA review on some of these that were recognized as Good Articles before the bloat happened, there have been attempts to save some of this material that has sandbagged these articles. Meaning Chevrolet Volt, Plug-in electric vehicle, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Tesla, Inc., Tesla Model S and others. The topic of market and sales for the Nissan Leaf belongs in Nissan Leaf, but should be summarized. This country-by-country micro-analysis each date of introduction, the price, who many cars arrived, who bought them... all that should be condensed and presented in a high-level way. A table or two maybe, a line graph showing trends over time. Not 8,594 words on the subject.If someone were to offer a reason why electric vehicles are different than any other topic, justifying why we have so many words, so many tables, so many comparison charts, I would listen. As far as I know, there isn't any reason electric car articles shouldn't follow the same guidelines as everything else. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
