Blatant hoax. Speedy deletion was rejected for some reason, no idea why, as it's obviously a hoax. 91.82.169.36 (talk) 18:08, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2023 December 15. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 19:05, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

  Delete This is clearly a hoax and also, even if it somehow wasnt, i couldnt find any sources. Begocci (talk) 19:12, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: a plethora of schematics and models for sale suggest that this may not necessarily be a hoax at all ([1], [2], [3], [4]). That is not to say this is a notable or encyclopedic car model, just that it seems to have existed, and the article can't be speedied based on CSD:G3. Owen× ☎ 19:57, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Delete appears to want to describe Renault's car in the 1906 French Grand Prix as OwenX indicates above, but that car doesn't pass WP:GNG. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:58, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

• Keep I stand corrected, per HBP below; clearly didn't do enough BEFORE. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 04:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
• Keep - Unclear how or why this is a WP:HOAX. The article should be moved to "Renault AK 90CV" or something to that effect, but the subject is fairly clearly notable, and a basic WP:BEFORE search for the actual name of the vehicle quickly returns plenty of evidence that this meets the WP:GNG (the Independentand the Telegraph, for example).

• Keep and rename per sources found by HumanBodyPiloter5. Owen× ☎ 22:01, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

There is no notability guideline for topics related to the automotive industry. WP:NVEHICLE is exclusively for locomotives and ships, WP:NCAR redirects to North Carolina's Wikiproject, and WP:NCARS does not exist. - 91.82.169.36 (talk) 06:20, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
