 * Over 2 weeks and no one's translated it. Looks like the tedious recitation of the results of a football (soccer)team... in Norwegian. Norwegian Wikipedia has nothing on the subject, so I guess we should offer it to them before we delete . -- Jmabel | Talk 03:50, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

 * The topic itself is certainly encyclopaedic. According to the Norwegian text, the club won Norwegian national championships in football/soccer several years in the 1950s and 60s. But if the fan who posted it here can't be bothered to write a proper article in the appropriate language, I can't see why there would be any reason to keep it. / u p p l a n d 07:21, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Mini Cooper

Untitled
This should be combined with the listing for Mini - no reason for two pages on this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevin in STL (talk • contribs) 03:53, 15 October 2004

Loveble cars in south Africa Mntimande (talk) 03:32, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

I have fixed this page to be a disambig, not a redirect
I have fixed this page to be a disambig, not a redirect.

This is because the first page for my Google search for “Mini Cooper” gives me, in order

 * http://www.miniusa.com (Current BMW model)
 * http://www.miniusa.com/content/miniusa/en/tools/learning/build.html (Again, current BMW model)
 * News articles about “Mini Cooper”, all of which point to the current BMW model
 * A mini dealership in my location in the US (Which sells the current BMW model)
 * The Wikipedia page for just “Mini” covering the out of production British model
 * http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/MINI_Cooper/ (Current BMW model)
 * http://www.edmunds.com/mini/cooper/ An Edmunds listing which only links to the current BMW model
 * Three more links to dealerships in my area selling Mini Coopers

Samboy (talk) 14:26, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Please convert this to a WP:CONCEPTDAB article that gives an overview of both articles, so we don't have to "fix" all the "broken" links to here. Wbm1058 (talk) 00:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Duh. I just made it a WP:set index. – Wbm1058 (talk) 01:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. The two links both now include more information about the cars.  Basically, the original Mini is a car you see in Britain than in the US; the Mini (Marque) is widely seen stateside and available for sale from a number of local dealers.  Samboy (talk) 18:15, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
