Vatt Lobo

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

It seems very dubious that a light jeep would carry heavy firepower, such as anti-tank rockets (the anti-tank rocket platform doesn't even look operable). It also looks like a toy or a mock-up. Elryacko (talk) 05:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment it looks very much like the American Desert Patrol Vehicle, the text claims it carries a RPG-7 which is feasible. But in the picture the AT weapons look like AT-3 Sagger missiles. It would not be the first time a military has exaggerated claims on its equipments performance. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:44, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is the company website so it looks like it does exist. Would ned someone to translate the Spanish. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 09:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm leaning strongly toward delete. It looks to me like the author found a couple of pics and made an article based completely on OR, though the statistics on performance (such as the engine) andd manufacturer are telling. I'd be willing to vote keep if references appear.  bahamut0013  words deeds 19:24, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete The article is unreferenced and a Google search produces no useful hits at all other than a very similar-looking article on the Spanish Wikipedia. As a result, this would seem to be a hoax. Nick-D (talk) 08:59, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment After looking at the picture again, it looks more like a modified dune-buggy. I can't imagine fire-extinguishers being mounted somewhere where it could be hit. And Casanave Industries (it's alleged manufacturer) does not exist when I Google search it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elryacko (talk • contribs) 23:38, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to mention the fuel tanks on the left hand side of the driver and behind the gunner! (which looks like a very unpleasant and easy way to die if anyone was to shoot at the thing). The pictures appear to have been photo shopped - in File:EXHIBITION OF VATT.jpg the sunlight striking the 'Vatt Lobo' appears to be hitting it at a different angle from the sunlight in the background and in File:LOBO_2007.jpg the 'Vatt Lobo' is out of proportion to the tank behind it.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete: unreferenced and no sources readily apparent when searching, thus fails WP:V. — AustralianRupert (talk) 18:08, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
