Jeep wave (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

First of all, it happens with other vehicles too (eg. very often between motorcyclists, and occasionally between drivers of the same model of car). With some work, it might be possible to cite that, with more work possibly even with a global perspective. Even still, I don't think it deserves its own article. If there's an article that it would be appropriate to merge this to, then great; otherwise delete. Interiot 01:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete - although it has a single attributable source, per WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE it merits deletion. It's not really encyclopedic since the article fails to demonstrate widespread usage beyond the one magazine. --YbborT SURVEY! 01:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Owners of all sorts of motorcars exchange signals to others who own the same motorcar. I doubt this phenomenon is particularly notable. I am certain that invidual examples of it are not and should not be the subject of their own articles. WjBscribe 01:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Jeep if it will fit. Otherwise, delete. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 02:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with appropriate Jeep article. I don't see that it needs its own article, but I wouldn't delete, since there are multiple secondary source references. [1] [2] [3] in addition to the one listed in the article. Quite a few more if you search "Jeep wave" at newslibrary.com. Mwelch 02:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While other vehicles may have similar customs and allegiances, I've never encountered one that had a name put to it. Secondary sources are present both in the article and also linked to here which refer specifically to this term. The Jeep wave was also the basis for a For Better or For Worse comic strip one Sunday about two years ago. I remember the strip but can't find an image of it online.
