Merge with Bushwacker (dragster)

These two are the same car, sold and renamed. Any coverage of it should be in one place. There's little enough as it is.

I've no strong feelings as to the best direction for such a merge. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:40, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

♠Oppose. If Queen Mary was sold, I suppose you'd say, merge to the new name?

♠"I've no strong feelings" This from somebody who expressly said he thinks there are too many drag racing pages. Yeah, merge because you can't justify deletion, & you know it. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 00:55, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think that there are too many drag racing pages. But I do think that you are leaving too many half-started stubs behind, barely sourced, full of enough typos to make them illegible, and scatter-gunned with duplicated citations so that they look credibly sourced, when they're actually dependent on just one very thin magazine article. I do not see this as a good state of things. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:12, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And you'd rather delete them all rather than offer the opportunity for them to be improved, & meanwhile, anybody interested can go screw, I guess. Why don't you try not stalking me? Maybe you won't see all my awful typos. And I don't merge cites to avoid screwing it up. Nobody's demanding you do that, either. Not to mention you have a history of disliking my edits.

Support merge; just as ships with a change of name/purpose are usually merged to one article, so too should dragsters be. To give a rather random example, Polarbjørn (a sealing ship), became MV Arctic Sunrise (Greenpeace ship). Accommodating such ship changes of use/name are described in ship career infoboxes.

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 10:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
