replies: text: Done The claim made in the article wasn't made directly in any of the sources cited, so including it violates Wikipedia's no original research policy. I've removed it, lowered the protection to semi-protection, and extended the expiry to 3 January so that you can take a break from this over Christmas. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 03:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

message: This whole page shouldn’t exist. It is presented as Saleen Inc. which was founded 30 years ago, but it’s not. Saleen Inc. went bankrupt in 2007 and was liquidated. That was the end of Saleen Inc. Steve Saleen then started SMS Supercars. Later he won back the right to use commercially his name again from the liquidating company, but he didn’t buy back the company. Once he won his name back, he combined all SMS Supercar’s subsidiaries into what he called Saleen Automotive, but if anything, Saleen Automotive is SMS Supercar and not Saleen Inc. This page should be either only about Saleen Inc. and stopped in 2007 or only about Saleen Automotive which started in 2009 under the name SMS Supercar.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.253.37.187 (talk) 22:46, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Let's do some substitution: What is Sears? Sears does not exist. It's Sears, Roebuck & Company. There's no such thing as "Sears". Still make sense? Murdock7 (talk) 02:26, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: * Man your analogies are always godawful. Sears doesn't work with situation. A lot of the historical events claimed in this page were don by Saleen Inc. Saleen Inc. went bankrupt in 2007. Saleen automotive is just not the same company. Saleen Automotive, before going public was SMS Supercar and it had nothing to do with Saleen Inc. 207.253.37.187 (talk) 02:30, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: * A lot of the historical event on the page are also accredited to Saleen Autosport, Saleen Performance Incorporated, Saleen-Allen "RRR" Speedlab as well. Known collectively as "Saleen"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Murdock7 (talk • contribs) 02:39, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: * Yes and all these were done under subsidiaries of Saleen Inc. and then Saleen Automotive, but it never carried on between them. There was a clear break when Saleen Inc. went bankrupt in 2007. BTW that was a big event. Since you pretty much made the whole page, do you care to share why you didn't add that part? Not a relevant event either? 207.253.37.187 (talk) 02:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: * None of these were subsidiaries of Saleen, Inc. Saleen Autosport became Saleen Performance Inc, etc etc. Progressively, 'Saleen' continues as Saleen Automotive Murdock7 (talk) 03:05, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: *  This is so wrong. what about the bankruptcy then? What happened there? Why didn't you include it on this page? 207.253.37.187 (talk) 03:11, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: * This just proves that 207.253.37.187 knows nothing about Saleen at all.  207.253.37.187 is located in Canada and no where near Saleen Headquarters. Has never even been around a saleen but all of the sudden knows everything there is to know about them?  This is just someone that wants to knock a company down and will do anything to accomplish this. I think that user 207.253.37.187  needs to stop doing edits on this page and maybe try to edit a page that he actually knows about. 72.23.173.171 (talk) 03:38, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: *Saleen Inc. were majority owned by Steve Saleen. After bankruptcy, the replacement SMS Supercar and Saleen Automotive companies have still been majority owned by Steve Saleen. And they've continued to make exactly the same sort of cars. So, in other words, the companies are THE SAME, just with different names. Want something to compare it to? What about Saab. The National Electric Vehicle Sweden-built Saabs are listed in the same article as the older Saabs. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:58, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: *As for the lack of information about the bankruptcy, the article isn't exactly fantastic. Still better than the mess you and your fellow Canadian IP (who was blocked for edit-warring) made, however. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:00, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

text: *No one is "trying to protect Saleen's reputation" - we're trying to keep Wikipedia neutral. You, however, are an agenda-pushing troll who is now violating BLP. Cease and desist in this wasting of our time. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:14, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

message: This article is very large at 180k, and should be split apart. WP:SIZE. The sports results should be placed into a separate list of results page, with only a general summary here. A list of products/models should also be built and expanded in detail, with the shortlist of models/products here.
