"Coach convertible" is not an accepted term for automobiles, and the article's subject of aftermarket cabriolet conversions in the United States does not seem encyclopaedic. 1292simon ( talk) 02:07, 5 April 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep 'Coach convertible' just means it is a vehicle modified by into a convertible by a coach work company instead of the original vehicle manufacturer. We can come up with a different title is that is your only complaint. The information is predominantly US because the original editor is from the US. However, he put in 'Conversions for the Australian market' and 'Conversions for the European market' as recognition that other countries do it too, even if he doesn't have that information himself. The way to deal with this is to add information, not delete what is already there. Why do you think it doesn't comply with WP:GNG ? (Would have been easier if you linked to the guideline instead of making me go search for it.) He supplied secondary references to books on the subject.  Stepho   talk  03:14, 7 April 2018 (UTC) reply

  • delete Book hits, when not irrelevant or cribbed from us, point back to a once-off vehicle from Fageol back around 1950 which could be converted back and forth between a cargo truck and a bus. I gather it was not a success. This seems to be one person's made-up word, and it's not even clear that there were significant numbers of convertible conversions.

  • Delete - Any non-american reader would expect to read about coaches with no roofs (ie this (Although one could say the picture is a bus and not a coach) ..... - Point is the title is very misleading, Title aside I'm not finding any sort of evidence of notability at all, Fails GNG. – Davey2010 Talk 18:10, 15 April 2018 (UTC) reply
