Timeline of European automobiles

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

With thousands of entries, this list would become rather unwieldy and unpractical if it was only halfway complete. Note that this list includes more than just the individual models, e.g. for the Lamborghini Countach you get five entries. We already have individual, long timelines for separate brands, e.g. List of Fiat passenger cars. Fram (talk) 07:23, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep but if this article is kept, it would need a re-write  - as it stands, this article seems mostly to be about Lamborghinis. Vorbee (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep and... it's not going to be all about Lamborghinis, I plan to fill it out with other cars. Of course, I'm going to re-write it. But only after I get each and every brand out onto the timeline... If it's that much of a bother, DGG told me he would put it in my user space and I can work on it somemore (without anymore trouble I hope?). Please don't delete my page, I want to fill it out to the best of my abilities. HizppaN (talk) 17:54, 24 January 2019 (MYT)
 * Keep -- butt he first step would probably be to userify and draftify until other brands can be added.  DGG ( talk ) 09:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete doesnt actually give the reader anything but a timeline of car introduction from some unconnected countries, the reader would be better using Category:Cars by year of introduction. MilborneOne (talk) 16:35, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. By good reasoning of wp:CLNT, if there is a category it makes sense for there to be a list-article, which can include photos and references and redlinks and other material that a category cannot convey. --Doncram (talk) 04:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * From WP:CLNT, "Disadvantages of a list" #6: "Some topics are so broad that a list would be unmanageably long and effectively unmaintainable". Which is the reason for this AfD nomination. Fram (talk) 07:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep This list is far more useful than a category since more information can be placed on it. Far easier to navigate, you able to see things by years, and even see what the first and last year they were produced there.  Perfect valid list article since it has plenty of blue links and aids in navigation to those articles.   D r e a m Focus  16:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
