Talk:LincVolt

CSD

Lincvolt is a not just an automobile, it's a team project that aims to serve as an example to the world and in Neil Young's words, "eliminate roadside refueling." It has been converted from running on regular gasoline to a blend of hydrogen and natural gas fuel, and has a goal of fuel efficiency of 100 MPG, which is a remarkable feat for a car that is 19.5 feet long and weights about 3,000 pounds. Mr. Young, along with his team of engineers, Johnathan Goodwin and Uli Kruger, are conducting the final tests on the Lincvolt currenly in Virginia, and will soon drive to D.C. to present the car to Congress as bold example of what American ingenuity can acheive in the future of the automobile. They will also take a "green" and biodegradeable doghouse to the First Family on this trip. Chasewebber (talk) 17:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Articles on Wikipedia must be encyclopedic in nature. This means meeting notability standards as well as including verifiable third party sources. Please also see What Wikipedia is not for more information about what types of articles are proper for Wikipedia. The article you have written is more like a promotional page for a company rather than an objective article, and does not indicate how the subject is notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. If you think you can meet these standards, go ahead and edit the article over the next few days. I've changed the CSD tag to a PROD tag to give you that time. →If you have questions, please leave a comment on my talk page (JakeBathman) 17:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I absolutely agree that LincVolt is a prototype of enormous importance to the future of automotive transportation, but the best way you can get it included in Wikipedia is to get technical. Talk about exactly how LincVolt works, its design, what kind of engine, how it uses electricity, etc. Most important, cite references other than the team's own pages about LincVolt. Time, Newsweek, Wired, Popular Mechanics, stuff like that. I know it's been mentioned in at least one film. It's been reported on twice on National Public Radio. --Bluejay Young (talk) 00:21, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
