Mazda Celtus
Our prankster at 82.42.151.164 is at it again, with a fictional Mazda car. This model does not exist, in any country, and the image is of a Dutch Ford Escort. (He's also vandalizing other pages for January 11, just to make it a full day's work.) I vote delete. Stombs 08:19, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Never heard of it in this part of Australasia, despite what the article says. Is User:Eastery6 the same person as this anon, I wonder? Andrewa 09:51, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, they do seem to be, by the fact that this IP created User talk:Eastery6 in the first person. Both ids have substantial records of hoaxes and vandalism targetting car articles. Andrewa 19:23, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Rebadge as a hoax and delete. (I've -tagged it....) Samaritan 10:36, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Every single existing car has at least one mention somewhere on google. It should at least be found on a site for car enthusiasts or a list to determine prizes of certain makes. No references at all means this must be a hoax. Mgm|(talk) 13:40, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence can be shown that the car exists. --foobaz&middot;&#10000; 16:06, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, possibly Speedy under CSD vandalism. --Deathphoenix 17:15, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete, sneaky vandalism. Wyss 23:13, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd rather not speedy this even if it qualifies, agree it may. It's doing no harm now it has the disputed tag on it, and it's part of a pattern of vandalism which it's good to be able to see. Line call, but no change of vote. Andrewa 00:01, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No Escort was ever rebadged as a Mazda in Europe.  Mazda sold two different generations of the Mazda 323/Familia in that market segment in Europe during the time. --Pc13 14:50, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as the worst kind of sneaky vandalism. Not only is the name apparently bogus, it is IMO based on Suzuki's Cultus 1.0-liter microcar.  We had those here in the States for a while as the Chevrolet Sprint and later as the Geo Metro.  I'd voted for a speedy but the "disputed" tag made me change my mind.  Agree with Andrewa on this one. - Lucky 6.9 22:10, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
