Since this came up.

The only pages we should allow for real-life vehicles are military vehicles. No random cars, no matter how notable. May as well write a rule for it.
 
I suppose this seems fine; stuff like the M1 Abrams can stay, but not the "Lamborghini" among other things. Speaking of which, some of the current vehicles do have some notable problems such as the durability ratings based on things that aren't quite durability.
 
Fair enough, but anyway, I can agree with the OP.
 
I think that there should be certain cars in this wikipedia if they are quite notable enough, so that one can use as a reference for other calcuations, and the like. Like I think it would make sense for the common police car to have a page, or the armored steel Tesla Cybertruck. I think law enforcement vehicles should also be added. But, I agree with Dark, I don't see why we would need a lamborghini, or another sports car page since it doesn't really make sense, and that would be vague.

Wait, am I restricted from using the Staff discussion board?
 
It's fine.

You kinda answered your question...

EDIT: Nvm, seems to be a different case than I assumed.
 
It's fine. He was the one whose page I deleted. This is relevant to him.
 
I agree with the OP.

Any character that uses civilian transport can just have it on there profile if they use it for combat purposes.
 
Do military vehicles include SWAT team APCs and stuff, like this or other vehicles more used by police forces
 
Personally, I think anything meant to be used for combat could classify as military vehicles.
 
I also agree with Promestein.
 
I personally disagree with this because if non-military vehicles weren't allowed, then quite frankly Lightning McQueen, Christine, and that horror-movie semi truck whose name I forget wouldn't be allowed on this wiki because they're non-military vehicles.

If real-world animals are allowed profiles for comparison reasons, then so should real-world vehicles.

Those are characters, these are real life veichles
 
@Flashlight237

That's different though. They have different unique powers/personality and aren't standard vehicles/inanimate objects.
 
Yeah. Big difference.

McQueen has weapons, Class 10 LS, is presumably stronger etc.
 
So does anybody have suggestions for how to word the new editing rule regarding this?
 
Don't add any real world vehicles that cannot be used for combat purposes, and don't have combat capabilities unless a Burecrat (or something) is informed about it. Perhaps, don't add any cars that aren't associated with a governmental faction.

Ex: Don't add a Honda Type R, or Buggati because it cannot be used for combat purposes, but you can probably add a Bearcat or an armored vehicle.

Tesla-Cybertruck-unveiling
I still don't understand why I can't make a profile page about an armored truck though, it may be targeted to civilians, but I can see how law enforcement, and other people can use it.
 
Emergency services/military have their own varients. Even then, I think it would be best to make a blog post of unique vehicles, that don't fit having a profile, then have a link on The Human Race (The Real World).

Anyone? The staff consensus seems to be to agree with Promestein's suggestion.
 
"It's strictly prohibited to create profiles for normal vehicles, such as average cars. It is allowed, though, to create profiles for military vehicles, such as tanks"
 
"Please do not create profiles for Real Life cars as they lack unique powers/personality and we don't wish to clog up the wiki with redundant profiles.

An exception to this rule is military vehicles as they have unique purposes/powers. Another exception are characters such as Lightning McQuee and Christine (Stephen King) as they posses a detailed background and a unique power set."

Someone can probably word this better or go into more detail, but it covers the general gist of what's being said.
 
Lightning Mcqueen and Christine are also not real life cars, so that exception doesn't really need to be specified.
 
"Please do not make profiles for real life vehicles, unless the vehicle in question is a military vehicle, such as a tank. Ordinary civilian vehicles are not notable or distinct enough for pages."
 
Are police vehicles like the Bearcat considered military?
 
I guess, as long it's kept to the notable stuff and not just an ordinary police car

That seems fine.

References, but we make them more credible in "The Real World" official profiles.
