"Imitation" section deletion

I recently reverted an edit which removed section 6.1 "Imitation of competing models". The edit cited a lack of support of the section, and claimed that it was outdated. This was not the case, and I returned the section. However, if people honestly believe that there is something wrong with the section, that the criticisms and claims of copying are unfounded, then it should be discussed with honesty. I personally think that the best route would be to provide articles highlighting the innovations of newer vehicles, which would make the current text seem dated, but adding counterclaims would also work (though neither of these would justify deleting the current text). If someone finds a good article, I'll write the text, since showing all sides is important. StigmaOfTruth (talk) 01:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Intro 'backform'ing

I think it's actually a backronym, not backforming yeah? --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 23:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

BYD Company → BYD – and BYD should be moved BYD (disambiguation), as the other uses for "BYD" are either uncommon abbreviations (for example, there is no mention of BYD being an abbreviation for Bury Your Dead in its article), or code-related (NYSE and station code). Also, WikiNav data shows that most people are looking for BYD Company or its largest subsidiary BYD Auto.

• Oppose BYD Company and BYD Auto are both quite notable, and get thousands of daily pageviews . I don't see one as primary topic ahead of the other, though. 162 etc. (talk) 04:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  BYD Auto can be considered as a "sub-article" of BYD Company because it's its subsidiary. Samsung Electronics is probably the most popular Samsung subsidiary yet Samsung is not a disambiguation. It gets taken care of with a hatnote. Andra Febrian (talk) 05:56, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  Conversely, Toyota leads to Toyota Motor Corporation, not Toyota Group. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. No primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 07:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Because Toyota Group is not a 'real' company, it is a 'group' of companies with limited notability - it doesn't even have its own website. Clearly not cut out to be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

Other example would be Volvo and Volvo Cars, both are real companies, the latter has a relationship with the former, but one became primary topic due to its larger business operations and the other was its subsidiary. Both articles has thousands of daily pageviews, with Volvo Cars being more popular. Andra Febrian (talk) 08:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

WP:DPT asks us to consider two things only: Pageviews and long-term notability. Your nomination makes no case for either of these criteria. 162 etc. (talk) 15:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
