... 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.

- 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.
Will be good to go after Template:U adds his QPQ. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 11:35, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
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)

- 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 despite his father refusing to buy him a convertible, believing they were not safe, Dennis Albaugh later built a collection described as "the best assemblage" of Chevrolet convertibles in the US ('57 Bel Air pictured)? Yoninah (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Length, Date, Cite, and Earwigs check. Image is public domain due to its age and lack of copyright notice when published. I tweaked ALT4 a bit to include part of the NYT quote and it and ALT3 would be approved except that the listed QPQ was not done by the article nominator. Template:U, once a QPQ is complete these should be good to go. Best, Mifter (talk) 22:48, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
