Delete. This article has been accessible from this title since 2005, so normally I'd want to keep the URL, but in fact we don't have (and apparently have never had) an article actually covering car dealerships in North America in general. The article was at this title until last year, when someone moved it to the current title because it only covers the US. The redirect can be confusing: if you find a link to car dealerships in North America and don't look at the intro, you might not notice that it's US-specific and might imagine that "Most car dealers offer a variety of financing options for the purchase of cars, including loans and leases. Financing can be highly profitable for dealerships" is talking about Mexico, Canada, etc. Theoretically, someone might notice the different titles and misunderstand it to mean that there aren't car dealerships in other North American countries (i.e. all North American dealerships are in the US, so the two titles have the same scope), which again doesn't make sense. And finally, RFD#DELETE item #10 — deletion would demonstrate that we really don't have an article on car dealerships in North America. Nyttend backup (talk) 23:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. If it's sizeable to be in Car dealerships for sections to be by continent then it could redirect there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
