Under "External links" the 2nd link is borken. http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/enterprise/wltp-dtp/home . Well it works, but the site is misconfigured, there are no documents to look at. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srsbaca (talk • contribs) 13:30, 8 April 2013‎(UTC)

This link can be removed since the new 'circabc.europa.eu' site now hosts archived documents from the older system.--Dmitry _{(talk•contibs)} 07:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WLTC ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.64.51 (talk) 13:05, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference between WLTC and WLTP, are they the same thing? 130.230.124.63 (talk) 10:24, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It means Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Cycle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.88.35.16 (talk) 07:54, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cycles update needed

The current versions of the cycles are from March 2012 (WLTC CL3 version 5.0). WLTC Class 3 versions 5.1 and 5.3 are released (page 66 of the pdf): https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2014/wp29grpe/GRPE-68-03e.pdf The RedBurn (ϕ) 11:27, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update needed

The situation of the article is quite poor. Any way to request the article to be upgraded? 64.210.21.210 (talk) 13:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. —usernamekiran(talk) 05:31, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure → WLTP – WLTP is the name used widely in media, giving several million search results on Google. Even official government sources, such as the EU website [1] use WLTP as a standard abbreviation. Currently the page WLTP is used for a local radio station, if you search 'WLTP radio', you still get lots of results about the emissions test, so clearly WLTP is first of all known as the subject of this article. The radio station's page could be moved to the branding they use on their own site, i.e. Newstalk 910 WLTP. Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 12:28, 6 October 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

Support per WP:NCACRONYM (and move the radio station to WLTP (AM) per WP:NCBC#North America). Reliable sources frequently use the acronym for this test procedure without expanding it, and the test procedure not the radio station is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. See e.g. Google News Search for 'WLTP -"Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure"' [2] compared to one for "Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure" [3]. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 23:53, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Maybe~~, but it makes little sense to discuss naming of an article with no cited sources. Add some sources so we can see what they call it. Dicklyon (talk) 04:40, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose after reviewing sources. Essentially all sources spell it out at least once, usually in the funny-capped form that corresponds to the acronym, which they use only in defining the acronym. Sources that use this phrase alone sometimes just use lower case; a few sources cap the whole thing like like it's a proper name, but most don't. So the title should really be Worldwide harmonized light vehicles test procedure. Dicklyon (talk) 17:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely support moving the current occupant to WLTP (AM); I would be more inclined to redirect the title to the current spelled-out title for the test procedure, and put a hatnote there for the station. However, if more meanings can be found, then disambiguate. bd2412 T 04:16, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, WP:JARGON is to be avoided judiciously. When the top ghit is overtly explaining the acronym in its lede [4], you know you are dealing with jargon. Jargon does not belong in Wikipedia titles. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:00, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Support decapitalising, it is only done for explaining the acronym. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
