There are enough differences in between specific models to make a merged article complex and confusing. Nothing to be gained, something to lose by merging.← Previous edit | Revision as of 12:43, 30 November 2014 edit undoDanTD (talk | contribs)Autopatrolled, Extended confirmed users, Pending changes reviewers151,505 edits →Sockpuppetry allegation: fixing chapterNext edit → | ||

Pronunciation
I have been pronouncing this "Vayga" for 40 years. I suppose in retrospect that that would be a quasi-Spanish way to say it.
No one in my family owned one, so that pronunciation comes from television advertisements (?) presumably.
So, is "Vayga" correct?
I personally pronounce the star Vega "Vayga", like the car, but according to my dictionary, the star is "Veega".

Sockpuppetry allegation
It is my assertion that sock puppetry by Barnstarbob is taking place on this article at the moment. See Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Barnstarbob --Biker Biker (talk) 14:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I think this is pretty self-explanatory. The Astre was simply a rebadged Vega, while the Monza was basically a mildly-restyled Vega with a new name--and initially just a trim level of the Vega. Best to avoid duplicity. Jgera5 (talk) 04:28, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose While I agree with what Jgera says about the Astre and Monza, there's a lot of model-specific detail in all three articles and merging would produce an article that's too long and clunky (contra the merge guidlines). Writegeist (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Split I support the merge of the Astre into the Vega article; but I oppose the Monza merge. VX1NG (talk) 17:51, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- Split I also support the merge of the Astre into the Vega article; but I oppose the Monza merge. OSX (talk • contributions) 08:30, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose I feel there is little to no need to merge these articles. They've been fine on their own without any problems, and if we're going to merge articles based off of other vehicles, we might as well just merge every single Pontiac model since 1980, almost all of which have a twin. I don't think any merging is necessary. GG360 (talk) 21:19, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Support the merger of the Astre into the Vega article. These are essentially identical vehicles except for the rebadging and their marketing campaigns. Once the redundant material is removed, the single article will not be too long or clunky. On the other hand, the Monza is second-generation of the Vega platform with similar badge-engineered equivalents (1st-gen Pontiac Sunbird, 1st-gen Buick Skyhawk, and 2nd-gen Oldsmobile Starfire) that should be merged into one article. Thanks! CZmarlin (talk) 19:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The Astre started as a Canadian-market variant and was only marketed in the US later. Also, as GG360 stated, Pontiac was basically a badge-engineered brand from 1982 onward, with its only truly unique offering in this country being a badge-engineered Holden marketed here as the GTO. Trolleychai (talk) 01:36, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The Chevrolet Monza was always marketed as a distinct nameplate and always treated as a separate model by Chevrolet. The fact that mechanical components were shared extensively between Vega and Monza does not make the car a subseries of Vega by default.
