vehicle are discussed. I cleaned up some WP: RS and fixed the formatting on the references in
Further Reading so the format is now consistent. I rearranged some images and reduced the thumb size so pics don't interfere with other sections. Let me know if you think this is adequate to resubmit for GA.

The main issue I see with the article is coverage issues (crit. 3). The article goes into exhaustive and frankly excessive detail in some points (I'm not sure why a few right-handed cars and two gold-plated cars each get subsections and multiple paragraphs) while neglecting others (the lead contains

Thank you very much for taking the time to review and provide such quality feedback regarding the article. Discussion on quality issues and reception of the vehicle indeed need development. The article is about the vehicle rather than the company but explanation surrounding the bankruptcy and JZD

I made a variety of improvements as well. I cleaned up the history section so it reads better and is now focused solely on the car as opposed to facts about the factory or company. I created a sales section as well as a reception section and a problem and issues section so all aspects of the

I further reduced the RHD section. There was excessive detail regarding taillights and turn signals that wasn't encyclopedic content. This was also supported by a fan page/blog and although the data was accurate, that support is not accepted by Wiki standards; WP:RS.

I reduced the gold and right hand drive sections per the recommendation. It might stand some more editing, but I think it gave a good reduction. Much was minutia really more appropriate to an owners/enthusiasts web site than WP imho.

The DeLorean Motor
Company went bankrupt in late 1982 following John DeLorean's arrest in October of that year on drug-trafficking charges. He was later found not guilty, but it was too late for the DeLorean to remain in production.

Secondary to the issues with coverage, the sourcing in this article just doesn't appear up to snuff. There's a variety of what appear to be fansites/blogs/otherwise

I have further scrubbed all the references removing and revising for WP: RS. I believe the article is in good shape for renomination for good status review.

Given that the major issues are severe and I don't think can reasonably be addressed during a hold period, I'm failing the article at present.

Most quality issues were solved by 1982, and the cars were sold from dealers with a one-year, 12,000-mile (19,000 km) warranty.

This makes it sound like DMC went bankrupt because of DeLorean's arrest, rather than financial issues with the cars itself.

On the flip side, where are the precise numbers in the infobox from for the specific details and technical specifications?
