NedCar BV: Mitsubishi Colt - smart Forfour
This is some strange hybrid of Mitsubishi Colt, Smart Forfour and NedCar that somehow lingers forgotten and redundant, breaking a few conventions by the way. Does anybody oppose? Bravada, talk - 21:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge the two sections into Mitsubishi Colt and NedCar. Put remaining redirect up for RfD. If it passes, copy page history to both talk pages. Deco 21:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have dumped whatever information was to be salvaged to the Mitsubishi Colt article. Nevertheless, whatever remains cannot be made a redirect, as the article tries to deal with subjects of THREE separate articles, and from what I've seen, RfD is only for one-off redirects and not for disambiguation pages. Besides, this would be a pretty pointless disambig page, as it is fairly certain that nobody would ever search for that name rather than the articles themselves. So, we're back to where we were.

 * Redirect to Mitsubishi Colt, to preserve the chain of GDFL contribution, since that's where the merged material ended up. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 14:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If you can do that, please do. I have no idea how to. Thanks. Bravada, talk - 15:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I went ahead and boldly redirected it. If anyone feels that this was inappropriate, feel free to revert (after noting your objection here, if it's not too much trouble). -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 15:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Now I see what you meant. I guess now the AfD is pretty irrelevant, so how do I close it? This needs to be nominated at RfD now! Bravada, talk - 15:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If you want to close this, add the template at the top and  at the bottom, and a line at the top about how the result was keep because the nomination was withdrawn. IIRC, anybody's allowed to close withdrawn nominations. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 15:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * One other point: redirects which are the legacy of merges can't (or at least, shouldn't) be deleted because it leads to misappropriation of the merged material (i.e. nobody will know who first contributed it to the site). That's what I meant by citing the GDFL above.-Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 15:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks again - I have nominated it anyway and we'll see what comes. The so-called content that I moved from here is nothing spectacular, so nothing would have happened if I didn't - Wikipedia's Mitsubishi person ;) will surely develop the Colt article even further.
