No consensus for any particular action, and discussion stale. Klbrain (talk) 10:05, 6 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I propose that Baby-Brousse be merged into Citroën FAF, because these vehicles overlap and are conceptually similar. The text itself overlaps. I think that the content in the BB article can easily be explained in the context of FAF, and the FAF article is of a reasonable size that the merging of BB will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

@PLawrence99cx: the page should then certainly have a different title (and be rewritten a bit).

The FAF concept, unveiled in 1977 only, involved more than the car: it was also about power generators, water pumps and small self-propelled vehicles, all powered by the 652 cc engine, aimed at helping poor countries to become more autonomous,
it is in fact based on the Vietnamese Dalat (1969-75): according to this book, the project was proposed to Citroën International by Jacques Duchemin, creator of the Dalat, when he came back to France after the fall of Saigon...

About the Baby Brousse: it was created at first in 1963 as a "one-shot" vehicle, was manufactured from 1970 until 1978/79, and spawned the Iranian Saipac Baby Brousse (1970-76), the Chilean Citroën Chilena Yagan (1973-76) and the Greek Namco Pony (1974-83).
So, to answer to your "the content in the BB article can easily be explained in the context of FAF", it would be more accurate to merge the FAF article into the BB page (if really necessary), and to explain the FAF idea in the concept of BB

- Helpful info. The text of the two articles still overlaps, but it is logical to consider Pony, La Dalat, and Yagan as BB variants that led to the 1977 FAF. Better than each car to having it's own tiny article, except for Vietnamese Wikipedia, where a good article exists. PLawrence99cx (talk) 18:06, 18 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
