Devel Sixteen

This stub does not contain enough information to establish product notability.

There is also a draft, which is more detailed, and reads like an advertisement, so this article cannot be moved to draft space.

Both of the references are advertisements.

Comment An article is not required to "contain enough information to establish product notability". The topic is required to be notable. Notability is determined without regard to whether it's already been made clear from the text or sources in the article. See WP:ARTN. Largoplazo (talk) 16:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment I'll leave it to others to judge the reliability and sufficiency of the following coverage, but I'm pretty sure the suitability of Road and Track and Robb Report, if not that of Motor Authority or Jalopnik, is clear.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 17:08, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Devel Motors - Sources demonstrate notability, but do not demonstrate independent notability. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 19:47, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I do not believe that the car or the company meet the threshold for significant coverage, but if they must be kept they should be merged.
