Article is on a patent application. Only relevant ghits [1] seem to be awe and gawking over how great the concept is (based solely on the application). No apparent proof of existence. original research and/or non-notable. --AbsolutDan (talk) 01:21, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - this article exists only to point out the utter stupidity of the US patents system. - Richardcavell 02:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, not encyclopedic. An article about a patent? That's not been realized yet? Shenme 03:19, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Arguably the article is (or should be) about the idea of a "phantom car", not just about the patent. Sure, it's vapourware now, but I think the Google search cited shows enough media coverage to justify an article. --Saforrest 03:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, currently reads more like a press release than an article. This can be recreated if/when a phantom car is actually implemented. JIP | Talk 09:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I rewrote a bit so that it looks more like an article. Obviously the idea is cool and interesting and it did actually interest me. Nonetheless, I shudder at the idea that Wiki would include all new patents! Or even worse, we make new guidelines as to when new patents become noteworthy. To my mind, WP:NOT a list of patents.

- Delete, sounds like a press release, also sounds a little spooky. Kuzaar 12:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, more like a press release, unencyclopedic. --Terence Ong 13:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
