Sources claim it is originally "De Soto" (Gunnel, (2004), Standard guide to 1950s American Cars page 72), but [1] from the source shows it in camelcase as "DeSoto", which is consistent with our other uses here, so that is the version I will use in the article.

Should we subject this article to peer review?Lbertolotti (talk) 15:07, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean.  It's at GA status, are there any flaws or problems that you think put this into question? I don't think it is anywhere near ready for FA obviously. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 15:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
@Dennis Brown Passing a peer review helps with improving the article.Lbertolotti (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I went and read that, not something I've even visited before.  I wouldn't have a problem with that.  I'm working on a very different yet similar article on the 1960s that could benefit from what I see and learn from the experience.  It's in userspace, but it is coming slow.  Not sure every decade needs an article, but some decades can justify it.  Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:04, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

There is uncited text in the article, including some tagged with "citation needed" since March 2023 and a very large paragraph.
History.com is used as a source, which is considered unreliable on Wikipedia (WP:RSPHISTORY). Are "Auto Universum" and "supercars.net" considered reliable?
Is anyone wiling to address these concerns, or should this be taken to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:23, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
