Gerald Wiegert
is lenghty, informative, and cites it's sources, I believe that this could make a good featured article. --Karrmann

Oppose Sorry, but the sections are way too short, the ending with the photo gallery is just plain weird & the article is in need of a table or info box. No inline citations, or written sources either.... can't help at all....Spawn Man 04:43, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Oppose More about his cars than himself. Although there are sources, citations are required for statements like "Wiegert was glad that MegaTech offered such a big investment, but was outraged when they tried to take over the company", it lacks detail about Wiegert's life himself.

 * Umm, not much is known about Wiegert as a person, most of his information conzsists of him as a businessman. --Karrmann

Oppose - agree with Spawn Man and Thethinredline. The article is really not about Wiegert at all, and if "not much is known about Wiegert" that's even more reason to oppose. Rossrs 22:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Object with everybody else on the matter. Sources should be properly cited if possible. The image gallery is rather unnecessary. Surely some other information about more personal life can be included; there is nothing about marriage or any other type of personal life throughout the article, just more Vectors.

 * His marital status is unknown to this day. --Karrmann
 * Oh I see... Certainly something more still can be included specifically about him, not his cars? AndyZ 21:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I've removed the information about the cars, which already have their own articles. The article is now fairly small. I would urge to remove his proposal. The article is in need of attention from people with access to more information - articles from 1980s and 1990s automotive magazines, books about supercars or about Vector itself, any interviews given by Wiegert in his lifetime.
