Page Deletion
[edit]The Draft page of Aston Martin DBS Superleggera should be deleted as it does not meet Wikipedia quality standards and is unnecessary as the specific model is mentioned in this article. U1Quattro (talk) 15:16, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

[edit]I'm late to notice this since it wasn't on my watchlist but, U1Quattro decided to replace a perfectly fine factory spec image with one of the special variant ones. There several problems with this, mostly the image has bad composition, it overly reflective and there already a AMR used in the article. He also done the edit without stating a reason why, keep in mind U1Quattro has been having a grudge against me in the past so his image replacements can be a little bias-based. What I don't want is his habit of gish galloping and overwhelm the reader by a dozen different other images rather then discussing the ones in the original subject as per the the Toyota Hilux talkpage. Thoughts? --Vauxford (talk) 21:18, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- I prefer the image of the silver car, mostly because of the angle being a bit better and showing more of the front. I don't think the other one being an AMR matters at all, the only difference visible are the wheels. Toasted Meter (talk) 21:37, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- I prefer that of the silver car as well. The sun angle and reflections on the black car are distracting to the extreme. While the silver car's background isn't ideal, that picture does a much better job of depicting the car itself. --Sable232 (talk) 00:27, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- The fact that Vauxford links "his own" pictures to wikipedia entries on an industrial scale, and has pasted this one over ten different language versions of wikipedia, suggests that this discussion is more about Vauxford's destructive vanity project arrogance than about picture quality. This behavio(u)r simply undermines the collaborational approach that wikipedia needs if it is to improver. And it discourages other people from bothering to upload decent pictures at all, which means that for cars that are sold in England, we are increasingly stuck with a uniform splurge of relatively mediocre ones.
- That said (written), in this case the picture of the silver car is at a better angle and has less zoom distortion. And it doesn't suffer from those pesky "black car challenges" (hidden panel gaps and distracting reflections etc). The fellow has finally bothered to wait till the sun was in more or less the right place. It's a slight pity a about the fiddly background and the reflections, but there are many around that are far far worse. Hallelujah, albeit not unqualified! And with an Aston Martin it seems likely that someone somewhere will come up with a better picture before too long because these cars attract enthusiasts. Charles01 (talk) 10:22, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
DBS Superlergerra
[edit]Since the Aston Martin DBS Superlegerra is it's own model, I feel it deserves a page of it's own. The car is a replacement for the outgoing Aston Martin Vanquish rather than just an updated DB11. User:MichaelCorleone7 (talk) 16:20, 13 December 2019 (GMT)
