Moto Guzzi V7/Ambassador/Eldorado/850 Probably redirect all these to a single-page history of this series. Main articles on each one later, if desired.
Wire wheels: Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article: Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection. Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression.
Why is this article CONSTANTLY being deleted? For what reason? I've tried polishing the whole look, I've added references, I've added Sources, everything claimed was cited, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO NOW C.FRED ? Deleted my newly fixed article, because I put it where a previous article deleted?? How is this not a notable product! It's being sold in South Africa by a reputable dealer by the name of Jonway, they are the leaders in Scooters and Motorcycles here in South Africa, So why do you STILL go on to delete my articles??
Exactly…because the previous article was deleted as a result of community discussion (WP:Articles for deletion/Bashan 125R), and the new version does not fix the identified flaws. If you'd like to work on the article in your user space, you can; to get it to stick in mainspace, you'll need to appeal to WP:Deletion review that the new article has corrected the flaws of the old and is not a repost. —C.Fred (talk) 15:52, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Non-notable product. No independent sourcing to back up any of the claims in the article. Neither the manufacturer nor the importer are notable. Finally, the creator has an apparent conflict of interest. The prod tag was removed without addressing any of the concerns, so I'm bringing it for discussion."
I've clearly noted all my sources and referenced them, I've noted the importers, and the original manufacturer, I've placed links to the bikes page on both of their products pages. I've removed phrases that could be seen as bias. I was still new to Wikipedia, and didn't know how it works, thus deleted the prod tag without addressing the issues. I'm not sure what you want me to do now, the product is an ACTUAL product, it is not entirely well known as it is still fairly new to the market, I'm trying to atleast contribute to the product and wikipedia by starting the article, I've placed it in a similar format to the Honda CBR150R, to try keep things as close as possible to something that is notable, I've tried taking tips from that page and other bike pages. Please Fred, Tell me what I'm supposed to do now, Why is this still a NON-NOTABLE product? Korn101 (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The one independent source is a news story talking about the city where the bikes are produced; the 125R gets only a passing mention. The other sources are either the manufacturer's or sellers' web pages. —C.Fred (talk) 23:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
