List of art cars[edit]

Article is unreferenced and there is no identification that these "art cars" are "well known". There is no clear way to determine what goes or does not go into the list. The lead does not identify the criteria for determination. Most affirmations of notability include fark.com and slashdot, which are not reliable sources. There is nothing in this article that could not be better dealt with at the main article of Art Car. Logical Premise^Ergo? 15:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~.Neutral ~~It seems to just be a list of art cars that the article creator knows of.~~ Any particularly well-known examples could be mentioned in Art car, but I don't see the purpose in listing them all, especially as most of the sources seem self-published.

Actually the article creator did give these thoughts on the talk page: "Most of the cars in the original list were featured at Petersen's Automotive Museum. Inclusion criteria should in my opinion be fairly high: been on exhibit in a notable gallery, show or museum, are well-known like Batman and Wienermobile, are by famous artists or designers... not someone who has hot rod flames on their GTO or the like but seriously notable vehicles." So there is some attempt at rigorous inclusion criteria. The sourcing is terrible, but could be improved, so that's not an argument for deletion.

Keep I changed the lead to read: "This is a list of art cars which have been exhibited in a notable gallery or museums, or become well known by their appearance in the media." That'll clear up any confusion as to why everything on the list is notable. Dream Focus 10:03, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The list compliments the main article and the lead now explains what is the criteria for inclusion. --J^mundo 15:00, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are movies, books and many articles written about these. I think even festivals deadicated to them. This is a great use for a list article. -- Banjeboi 02:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
