Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

Template:Replyto The implication is that the plates were changed in an attempt to fool the inspectors into thinking they were inspecting different vehicles rather than the same one. Since they also look at the VIN and take it down, it didn't work.

Given the ragged start, where the first version of the article was deleted and then recreated after a day (so it appears), as details of the accident became clearer, and then the article was subjected to an AfD for a few days (which to me should toll the time limit here), I am asking for some dispensation and flexibility.

Template:Re OK then. If vehicle inspection fraud was the point, it looks like ALT0 might be interesting, but I think the detail about vehicle inspection fraud is kinda minor when this was the worst transportation accident in the U.S. in almost a decade. And I do think this article is eligible per the newness criteria, as it's still technically within the 7 day limit. So I will go ahead and approve it. epicgenius (talk) 22:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping If you were waiting for the move discussion to be settled to formally approve this, it was just closed. I have appropriately amended the nomination to reflect the shortened title. Daniel Case (talk) 18:28, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Template:Re I already added my tick of approval (it's in the review template, after "Overall"). But OK, here it is again Symbol confirmed.svg. Hope this clarifies that this nomination with the new short title is approved. epicgenius (talk) 18:36, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
