No content. Just an infobox. Biker Biker (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Just as many articles need rewriting of lists as text, this article needs conversion from an information box to text. The box has a lot of information. It would be easy to write complete sentences to incorporate the information in text. Fg2 (talk) 02:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, an infobox does not constitute an article. Besides that, there is noting to show as to why this subject is notable, fails to satisfy the general notability guideline with significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Esradekan Gibb "Klat" 11:05, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you say that "Articles for which all attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" applies to this article?? This is a old bike, which means that there are not all that many (actually only 717000 Ghits) pages on the internet, this does NOT mean that nothing is written about it. --Stefan talk 01:44, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per Esradekan. Wikipedia is not a directory. The JPStalk to me 00:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep No content is not a reson for deletion, article actually have content (although only a info box), is notable (I assume that all vehicles are notable), as stated in the deletion policy the page should be improved not deleted. --Stefan talk 01:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It has content now and it's marked as a stub. Eventually it will grow, especially since we have been sorting, linking and categorizing many of these lost sheep.--Dbratland (talk) 21:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. "Just an infobox" is an invitation to anyone familiar with Wikipedia formatting to help develop the article, not to call for its deletion. How is nothing better than something? For anyone with an interest in building an encyclopedia rather than playing an MM-whatever-it's-called game to see who can "win" discussions I would have thought that the answer would be pretty obvious. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:44, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. There are sources available on Google Books, and maybe a few on Google News. The article just needs love. tedder (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Notice I has marked the article as a stub. I am netural here. My stubbify diff here[1]. Text adding diff by User:Stefan here[2].The Junk Police (reports|works) 04:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]
