dieselnutjob Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Haven't there been magazine articles on the subject of autoshite? That would increase notability. EDit: Yes, Barefoot did an article about preparing "Sctsh breakfast" at one of the Welsh Shitefests in an issue of The Barefoot Chef. Any chance he could reference it in Wikipedia? Autoshite was mentioned in Practical Classics a few months ago, from memory it was in one those diary type sections of one of the writers. I have successfully created three wikipedia pages, though one of them is radically different to what I originally did, which is fine.These are the ones I didhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compacted_graphite_ironhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Martinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldo_Brovarone From memory if you make an article a stub of something else it lowers the requirements but makes little practical difference to the actual page. I think that all of mine started as stubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 OK, if the Wikipedia page is to be retained we'll need to find evidence of these articles. Latest comments from a Wiki editor: "I can find plenty of casual use of the term online, but no press coverage of "autoshite" as a movement" "Note that usage of the term "automerde" and sources which use it are not what will lead to the article being kept as Wikipedia is not a dictionary and doesn't include topics based on word use. Also, social media, forums, youtube videos, blogs, sites using the word in the title, sites promoting the topic -- none of these help at all, either. What's necessary to demonstrate notability is in depth coverage of the subject in multiple reliable sources. So, for example, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc. articles about (or about in part) the phenomenon being described here as "automerde"." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castros_bro Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Could someone put in another paragraph heading or two as I can't, nor can I do those {ref} testicles{ref} things maybe then I can make my splurge of content a bit more organised. ?

Done I've also split the article into national subsections. Adding references is dead easy - just click on the "ref" thing to the right of "cite your sources" at the bottom right, then copy your URL in between the <ref> and the </ref> tags.

John F Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I've just been reading the deletion argument thread. Comment from Wiki editor: "Delete - the definition quoted in the refs is effectively a blog with no oversight or credibility. The fact that it has been used a few times in a very niche publishing sector is not anywhere close to notability. Velella Velella Talk 11:10, 19 November 2015 (UTC)" So basically, we have to find examples of the term "autoshite" being used in mainstream printed media or the bastards are likely to delete the article.

John F Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It's not enough to say that the term "autoshite" was mentioned – we need to provide links to articles that feature these mentions. I've added a couple of examples of the Polish / Russian equivalents of the word "autoshite" being used on forums to describe... er, well, autoshite.

jonny69 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 What's with the focus on bangernomics and all the talk about hypermiling 50cc mopeds on the other side of the world? What's that got to do with here? Page SUXORS at the moment - just make it a reference to this site and surely teh modZ will be happy with it?

John F Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 No, that was done in the past & the page was deleted. Basically, unless a website is notable, e.g. has featured in mainstream media or suchlike, it doesn't get its own page. We need to establish that the *concept* of autoshite exists, and that the term "autoshite" is sufficiently notable to define it. Have a read of the deletion discussion thread, there's a link to it at the top of the Wiki article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldofceri Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Half the problem is that no two members on here have the same idea as to what the Autoshite ethos is. Many of us are not into real Bangernomics at all and will keep a shit old car going way beyond any credible financial justification. It's a forum for people into shite old cars, that's all. trigger, Magnificent Rustbucket, UltraWomble and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yep, I've made that point about bangernomics on the deletion discussion thread. The German term "Youngtimer" comes close to describing vehicles we'd classify as autoshite, at least in terms of their not-quite-classic status. The German Wiki page for Youngtimer currently links to the English "Classic car" page, which is a poor link IMO. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banger Kenny Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just had a message from "Mr Bangernomics" James Ruppert - He has tried posting, but his post count is not high enough! He is asking if anybody wants their suitable "Shitters" to appear in his weekly column in Autocar, they can send pictures with stories about them (mentioning us lot obviously) to him directly at james@bangernomics.com He hopes it helps in the "cause" against Wiki seeing as Autocar is "The World's Oldest Car Magazine" that is now published worldwide - if that isn't "Mainstream" enough for them, I dunno what is.
