This article has very little information, is based mostly on subjective opinion, and is on a topic that is not notable. WP:NRV WP:GNG Joseph Zadeh ( talk) 04:09, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

- Smerge to Criticism of SUVs is what I would suggest. Recent articles in places like The Guardian make this a plausible search term.— S Marshall T/ C 09:13, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The article needs to be expanded, but this is a growing phenomenon and the discussion is reaching new parts of the globe. -- DaddyCell ( talk) 12:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to Criticism of SUVs. This isn't really it's own thing. The growing phenomenon is just that there are more SUVs and SUVs are bad, which is already covered. No need for a separtate article here. Reywas92 Talk
- Keep - Seems to meet the
WP:GNG. The article seems to be referring to a broader phenomenon affecting the entire automobile market and not just SUVs. High
WP:POTENTIAL for this article to be expanded over time if sources keep covering the subject in the way that they have been.

- Maybe Criticism of SUVs needs to be reworked; almost everything in the article applies to pick-up trucks or the market as a whole as well. I just do not see this as a really separate topic and should be integrated into the main article explaining how the criticisms are becoming more relevant and how the criticisms are being addressed; it could be split if necessary but I don't think leaving this stub on a neologism for hypothetical expansion is appropriate.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Keep. This could use a move to a less interesting title, but the trend towards bigger cars a notable-enough phenomenon to warrant coverage in secondary sources about energy efficiency in general, e.g. this one from the IEA. It is not just about criticizing SUVs; this trend is also affecting ordinary cars and pickup trucks. Clayoquot ( talk | contribs) 22:47, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
