land yacht (automobile)

You deleated the land yacht article, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

I understand and agree that it is not, but this article was not a mere defination.

Would you delete "muscle car", "sports car", "pickup truck" or "Chevrolet"? They are are all automobiles and one could argue that the article "automobile" should include all that information. I feel such an article would be too long and it's easier for the user to find information in a "sports car" article or a "pickup truck' article. The "Land yacht" article should be undeleated, because it also contains information specific to a narrowly defined rage of vehicles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdbailey (talk • contribs) 22:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?

I will consider undeleting this article if you provide details of where it has been written about in newspapers or reliable sources. Stifle (talk) 22:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources that you may find useful: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].--Michig (talk) 22:37, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point that the term "land yacht" is slang, but I hate for that information to be lost.

What do you think about placing it under "sedan"? I would be willing to edit it.Kdbailey (talk) 15:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish, I can restore the article land yacht (Automobile) and redirect it to sedan (car). You can then use the history to merge the content into that article. Stifle (talk) 16:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
