Talk:Infiniti M

Introduction nonsense

Does anyone have a clue what this is supposed to mean:

"With info translated from the Nissan products described in the Japanese Wikipedia:"

It means that the Japanese wiki had additional information so it was translated into English and put on the English wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.246.96 (talk) 21:13, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

You can chek out the European sales brochure here: http://form.infiniti.eu/Global/lead-generation/Brochures/UK/Infiniti_M_Web_UK.pdf or you can check out the American sale brouchure here: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/2011-infiniti-m-sales-brochure-usa. Neither of them makes any reference to the Around View Monitor system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.241.204 (talk) 03:39, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Safety Section for M30

Is it just me, or does the Safety section for the M30 look like one person's experience/interpretation? It also lacks references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.117.51 (talk) 01:45, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

M35h sets Guiness world record

Was a little surprised that this made news last month but never got mentioned in the article... it's in there now. :) Wxkat (talk) 13:47, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Name Change

Someone needs to contact an administrator to request a move for this page. The page doesn't have current name of the vehicle, Infiniti Q70. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AquilaXIII (talk • contribs) 00:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

The page title is not necessarily the car's current name, but the most common name. Infiniti M applies to all generations, Q70 only applies to the updated version of the current generation. OSX (talk • contributions) 07:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

It's not the most common name, it's the name for all Infiniti models sold around the world except in Japan where it's a Nissan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AquilaXIII (talk • contribs) 04:49, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

As far as WP:Common name is concerned it is. This is because "Nissan Fuga" is not used in the English-speaking world. OSX (talk • contributions) 05:12, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 24 August 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No move. We have consensus that the proposed title does not reflect the entirety of the subject, namely the previous incarnations of the line. Discussion of whether to split the Q70 material, or to keep it here, can continue. Cúchullain ^t/c 16:08, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Infiniti M → Infiniti Q70 – The name of the vehicle has changed and for some reason it was changed to a completely different name which is not used in any market even though the correct name was being used already – AquilaXIII (talk) 07:00, 24 August 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

• @AquilaXIII and Andy M. Wang: :Per WP:NAMECHANGES, is there sufficient evidence that the new name is used by recent news/sources? Might warrant a full RM so folks have time to chime in and aren't surprised. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 07:06, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

• Support - I initially closed this as move, but following a request on my talk page I am relisting it. However, I also agree with the original move request. Infiniti Q70 is the current and active name of this car, whereas Infiniti M is an old name that referred to previous models but is not longer used for the latest version. Current reliable sources therefore woudl not use the Infiniti M name. It doesn't make sense to have an active car make with its old name, even if that name existed for a long time. Alternatively, if it's felt that Infiniti M must continue to exist, we could split the article as happened with Ford Escort when Ford launched the updated Ford Focus brand, but we shoudl definitely have an article for the Q70.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Escort and Focus are a different situation because the cars are unrelated. The 2009 Infiniti M was merely renamed Q70 in 2013, so it would be pointless to have two articles for the same car. OSX (talk • contributions) 14:08, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

They're not exactly unrelated, because the Escort was withdrawn at the same time as the Focus was launched, and they are basically the same size model, targeting the same market as each other. In a way, the first model Focus was simply the successor to the last model Escort, much as the first model Q70 was the successor to the M. But anyway, I don't particuarly support the split option anyway, I'd probably prefer to just deal with Infiniti M and Infiniti Q70 on one page. But unless sources routinely continue to call the car "Infiniti M" after the change of name, then we should update to the new name per WP:NAMECHANGES, even if the old name was used for a very long time.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:16, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Of course the Escort and Focus are in the same segment and are related in terms of market placement. However, technically and mechanically there is no commonality. Focus succeeded the Escort and was comprehensively redesigned as part of this. Thus, the two cars are fully distinct and separate and there is no grey area. On the other hand, the Q70 is merely a rebadged M, so the fundamental car is identical, just with new labels attached—very different to designing an all-new car. OSX (talk • contributions) 14:52, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Frankly I don't feel WP:NAMECHANGES applies here. It would if the article was only about the fourth generation Infiniti M, but there are three more before it. Infiniti hasn't retroactively renamed all of its M models built in the last twenty-seven years, so a 1990 Infiniti M30 is still an Infiniti M30 to anyone. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 15:10, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose: The old name "Infiniti M" was used by all four generations (including the current one). Only the facelifted fourth generation has had the name Q70 applied. What normally happens in these situations is the longer running or more common name prevails—Infiniti M in this case (as per WP:Common name). When and if an all-new generation is released, this would then probably be best catered for in a new split Infiniti Q70 article. There is no requirement for article titles to reflect the current name, as enshrined by WP:Common name principles. OSX (talk • contributions) 14:05, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose as per OSX's arguments above. I'd favour splitting the Q70 section right now as OSX suggests, or alternatively just redirecting Infiniti Q70 to it for the time being and starting a Q70 article in a couple years when the first all-new model comes out. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 15:10, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose as per OSX and Cloverleaf II comments. I'd say that I agree with the suggestion of redirecting Infiniti Q70 here for the time being, there's no point in creating an article for a facelift, and naming this "Q70" is misleading. An Infini Q70 article can be created if that name is kept for the next generation. --Urbanoc (talk) 19:01, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Reason: The Q70 is just a renaming (and facelift) from the fourth-generation M which by no means need a separate article. See Infiniti Q40 for example. Also there was no plan for the "second-generation" Q70. 182.30.129.231 (talk) 17:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Support merging Q70 to Infiniti M unless and until a second generation Q70 appears. I do not support moving Infiniti M to Infiniti Q70. Not entirely clear on what is being proposed here.  Mr.choppers | ✎  01:15, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Not support they are not the same car and there are substantial differences between the two cars that they are not merged into a single item; the fact that those who are looking for only the Q70 must see only that and having them separated so it is easier to search for it via the web. 134.0.4.208 (talk) 13:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Closed, given the uncontested objection with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 03:57, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
