I had a bit of a fiddle with this but am still not convinced it makes a useful encyclopedia article so am bringing it here to see what others think. This was a ranked list of bestselling vehicles, but was a WP:SYNTHESIS compiled over a period of time from individual sales figures. I moved it from List of bestselling vehicle nameplates as that title was misleading - the list was incomplete but presented itself as a ranked list of sales figures. However there were no cited lists, just individual cites, so there was no way of knowing what night be missing. For example Daewoo Matiz and Ford Transit are missing, the later being the best-selling light commercial vehicle in Europe for 40 years. Without citations to a reliable complete list, this is nothing other than a random collection of figures listed in numerical order. The only way to improve it would be to cite a ranked list of sales figures, but that would be no different from starting over. Should we retain it? Is it encyclopedic?
