I feel, one of the key article of this wikiproject, Automotive engineering needs a good revision and copy edit. I would love to help in the process as much as viable. Being a civil engineering student I am unknown of some key terms. In addition, i see the need of forming a new article Automobile engineering much famous in South asian countries including Nepal and India to flourish the information regarding the subject and make the area of study open to fellow readers.Franked2004 (talk)

Just wondering, why do we have two articles about the list of automobile manufacturers in China: List of automobile manufacturers of China and Automobile manufacturers and brands of China? Should we merge it? Pinging @Infinty 0: as the creator of the latter article.

A little bit context by the way, Automobile manufacturers and brands of China is apparently a spin-off of Automotive industry in China after these sections were purged due to "[lack of] citation and improper synthesis", can't see why it should be an own article if it was apparently not proper enough to be in an article.

I think one can be deleted or merged. 750h+ 17:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, merge. Rally Wonk (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose.

The article of Automotive industry in China is more about the development of China's automobile industry at the macro perspective, focusing more on China's industry policies, development status and history in chronological order.

The article of Automobile manufacturers and brands of China is more about the current situation of Chinese manufacturers at more micro perspective. China is different from most countries in the world which has the world's largest automobile industry and market (larger than the United States and Europe combined), and more than 10 major manufacturers and more than 140 automobile brands as numerous as the stars, which deserves the spotlight. The two articles have different perspectives, themes, and logic, so the spin-off is necessary.

As for the problem of citations, it has been updated in the Automobile manufacturers and brands of China. It is welcome for anyone who disagrees to challenge it at the specific description.

The article of List of automobile manufacturers of China is even more different. It is a list-type article, which is more about listing the facts as briefly and completely as possible. There should be an article to depict a more detailed and focused portrait of Chinese automobile manufacturers, like the general introductions, their positions in the landscape of automobile market, and conclusion of their different characteristics, which is exactly the purpose of the article of Automobile manufacturers and brands of China.

If each of the manufacturers and/or brands are notable, they should have their own articles. Rally Wonk (talk) 13:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not each, but major ones. There are 12 major manufacturers in China, each with an annual production of more than 500,000 units, and four of them are above 2 million unit per year, and they do need a overview information to help readers understand the current layout and landscape of Chinese auto market.

Merge, no real difference in scope.  Mr.choppers | ✎  16:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated this for a move, on the clear grounds that the title doesn't meet the guidelines for cars sold internationally under a wide range of names. Calling it Datsun 510 is americentric and also leads to confusion since the "510" name was also used on the Violet/Stanza (A10) in North America. Datsun 510 should be a disambiguation page like Datsun 810 and Datsun 210. Please review WP:CARNAMES and weigh in here. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  16:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this wikiProject called WikiProject Automobiles when the primary topic is "car", not "automobile"? Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 11:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From the first sentence of the car article, "A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels.". In other words "car" and "automobile" are synonyms, or different words for the same things. One or the other word is more popular in different countries.  Stepho  talk  12:16, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not very happy with AI writing, I don't think it's all that accurate. I think some here might be interested in this blog. Sammy D III (talk) 14:20, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay.. are there any particular articles or editors here that you suspect have/use AI writing? --Vossanova ^o< 00:22, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's starting to show up on the drama boards, but I didn't have any specific targets. I just thought this was an informed and amusing discussion about a real problem that is coming. Some background, that's all. Sammy D III (talk) 01:39, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
