Dennis Albaugh

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
  • ... that Dennis Albaugh owns "probably" the best collection of Chevy convertibles ('57 Bel Air pictured) in the US? Source: " 'He's got a fabulous collection,' said Murl Randall, 83, a Chevrolet historian and collector from Houghton Lake, Mich., who is known as Pinky. 'It's probably the best assemblage of convertible Chevys in the country.' " ([1])
  • Alt1: ... that Dennis Albaugh has rounded-up "probably" the best collection of Chevy convertibles ('57 Bel Air pictured) in the US?

Created by Edwardx (talk) and Philafrenzy (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 22:08, 3 October 2018 (UTC).

Added Alt - he made his money from a generic version of the pesticide Roundup. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:47, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
  • New article that's long enough, decently written, and sourced. Hooks are cited and I prefer Alt1 because of the pun. Image is public domain. Symbol question.svg Will be good to go after Template:U adds his QPQ. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 11:35, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg The QPQ has been done. But I don't like putting "probably" in quotes; it looks like it's implying it's not the best collection. Also, the pun is totally lost on the casual hook reader, and clicking on the link to get to a herbacide page looks like an error. Could you submit another alt? If you want to use the "probably" quote, maybe use more of the quote. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg I'm marking this for closure. There is no hook right now and the nominator has been editing. SL93 (talk) 21:00, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Alt2: ... that businessman Dennis Albaugh owns one of the best collections of Chevy convertibles ('57 Bel Air pictured) in the US? Philafrenzy (talk) 23:18, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
  • How about:
  • ALT3: ... that Dennis AlbaughTemplate:`s collection of 150 classic Chevrolet convertibles includes all the Tri-Five Chevys ('57 Bel Air pictured) and models from 1912 to 1975? Yoninah (talk) 23:43, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
Can something else be proposed here? I don't like ALT2 since "best" is a subjective term, while ALT3 doesn't seem to be too interesting for non-car fans. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:54, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
  • His notability is based on his car collection. How about:
  • ALT4: ... that while his father had refused to buy him a convertible, believing it was not safe enough, Dennis Albaugh grew up to assemble one of the finest collections of Chevrolet convertibles in the US? Yoninah (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
