AMC AMX III

Nominator(s): CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:02, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a fancy mid-engine sports car made by the United States Automobile manufacturer American Motors Corporation (AMC). CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:02, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and recommend withdrawal Referencing needs a lot of work, both in terms of formatting and use of unreliable sources/OR with various self-published websites and photographs of cars all being cited to support text. (t · c) buidhe 15:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note -- as well as Buidhe's concerns, I note some statements that are not cited at all, and others that editorialise, e.g. "What is certain is that in the summer of 1970 AMC..." So as well as improving sourcing, a good copyedit is probably in order, it might also remove seasonal references like the one in this statement. After that I'd recommend trying peer review before considering a re-nom at FAC. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
