replies: text: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  See #4: Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles.  This article isn't meant to be a repair/reference manual.  Specifications of a detail not valuable to the average reader should be put elsewhere, and referenced in the External links section.  --Vossanova o< 17:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree that a list of stats would be confusing. I do think how ever mentioning for the 3 bed styles and their lengths would be work out better. 70.184.211.68 (talk) 18:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Weight 

message: There has been a suggestion to split the GMC Sierra content from this Chevrolet Silverado page.  I suggest leaving them merged in this article for the following reasons:
* There are virtually no differences in specification or equipment between the two models.  Compare GMC.com with Chevrolet.com and see for yourself.  Or ask Edmunds.
* There are no differences in introduction schedules or other facts which would cause confusion.
* The Chevrolet handily outsells the GMC, so this is clearly the "master" vehicle for the other to be redirected into.
* This same argument has been made repeatedly for other car models.  See the Chevrolet Lumina APV et al for a family that (barely) had enough differences to be split.
Since the suggestion has been made, let's discuss it here before proceeding.  --SFoskett 04:41, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge or split

message: The GMT 900 trucks have not been released yet, and as far as I know is still subject to have model changes until it is officially released (hence the future auto tag that specifies that this part of the article "is likely to contain information of a speculative nature"). Please discuss before removing the tag again. -HumanZoom 06:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Future Auto Tag

message: With the upcoming releease of the GMT900 line of trucks, the exteriors and interiors of both trucks will look completly different. Also, some features may be diferent beteen the two vehicles. When more information is released, I suggest this be split into two seperate articles.
P.S. I don't think the Denali line is mentioned in this if this is a Silverado/Sierra article.
:I can see you reasoning for a split, but the same argument could be made for the GMT800. They too had different sheet metal exteriors, but on the inside they are the same truck. If a split didn't occur for the GMT800, I doubt one will occur for the GMT900. Also, the Denali line is mentioned in article (although, not very much is said). Anyway, please sign your comments by typing ~~~~. Thanks, -HumanZoom 06:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reason for a split 

message: While it now has its own section, does it really need to be included at all in this article? I thought the purpose of this page was to talk about the truck itself and not how GM markets it. My other reason for removal is the potential of controversy arrising from this subject. This is the second time I've had to clean up this section and I assume it won't be the last.
I would suggest to merge it into another, more relivant article, but I can't find one. I vote to remove it completely unless there are some major objections. -HumanZoom 05:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I objected to the removal. GM have been marketed it so heavily that it is too important to dismiss. If you are going to move the Our Country, try An American Revolution. After all, the press release said it is an AAR extension. -Jacob Poon 05:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, some time has passed and considerable clean up and addition of information has been added to the advertisement section. My original reason for removal was based on the fact that GM has always spent a lot of time, money, and effort advertising their trucks (i.e. Like a Rock, etc.), but the only thing this section included was criticism towards their newest campaign. I still think a new article is needed and possibly just link to it from a condensed version of this section. Advertising Campaigns of Chevrolet or Advertising Campaigns of General Motors anyone? I guess I'll have to wait another month before someone looks at this page again. lol -HumanZoom 15:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of Marketing

message: I have removed both YouTube links as references from this page. Luckly, one of the links already had another reference that supported the same information. However, the other link did not and I have therefore added a  tag. While, it is not official Wikipedia policy to disallow the use of YouTube videos as references, it is suggested that these videos do not break copyright law. Both links were videos of obviously copyrighted material, so I had them removed. -HumanZoom 20:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: OK, the assortment of different lengths and heights in the infoboxes is a bit ridiculous.  Either someone  pick out select values or annotate them with the models they correspond to, or I'll just condense them into a range. --Vossanova o< 21:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: You need to not add USA to every city name.  I'm pretty sure that is counter to policy as those cities are already wikilinked and internationally known (again, there is no other Flint, Michigan.)  This isn't my opinion, this is pretty much established for every single article on Wikipedia:  You don't need to add USA if the city is well known.  PHARMBOY (TALK) 21:12, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That is a template, not a policy.  It is very possible and easy to create templates that violate policies.  Even if it is used in a template, you can't use USA.  PHARMBOY (TALK) 22:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Hehhe this is very funny....it is your OPINION "if the city is well known", do you really thing that everybody thinks they are well known...  --— Typ932T | C  21:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Give the link to that mos, its only for USA abbreviation, does it make some harm to use it? Is United States different than other countries? and the nc:city talks about article names not articles --— Typ932T | C  22:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  You see, this is why I get frustrated.  The policy says "never use USA", and you want to know if it really harms anyone.  That isn't the point.  The policy clearly says "dont do that".  You asked for a policy, I gave it.  Now I am asking to follow the same policies we all follow.  The other policy states that you don't name the country except when there isn't a secondary geographical area.  This means you don't even use United States or U.S..  You use the primary and secondary geographical, meaning Flint, Michigan.  If you can show me why this doesn't apply to articles as well as titles, I am all ears. PHARMBOY (TALK) 22:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it doesn't even say it is about titles only anyway, it is about city naming convention, so it would apply.  PHARMBOY (TALK) 22:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Note All city articles already use this method.  All of them.  Virtually every one of the over 2.5 million articles on the English Wikipedia use the same convention.  The only exception is your addition to this article.  That is the point I am trying to make.  YOU are the only one breaking convention here, and you can't even admit the one super easy "never use USA" point.  I have shown the policies, as requested.  Now please revert back.

replies: text: Note That is a talk page, not a policy page.  I quoted from the actual policy page.  Anything can be said on a talk page.  Currently, that is the only policy that approaches the proper way to name cities.    PHARMBOY (TALK) 22:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: As the Chevrolet Silverado continues production, the scope of the content related to each generation continues to grow in size.  While deciding what is notable to include in an article is in the opinion of each editor, there is a point where a section in an article can stand on its own as its own article.  Here, the first-generation (GMT800), second-generation (GMT900), third-generation (K2XX), and fourth-generation (T1XX) sections are all worthy of their own dedicated article space.  In addition to freeing up space on this article, setting up separate articles that link back here (in line with the Ford F-Series and its generational articles) provides a format for further editing (and expansion) on each generation independently.  
While the migration of content would be a substantial undertaking, the benefits for both editors and viewers would be worthwhile.  Thoughts?  --SteveCof00 (talk) 10:09, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
