VF is the "base" vehicle here, planned to be sold in the US under another name, with minor cosmetic differences.
Should things get too unwieldy or the models prove sufficiently distinct I can see the need for two separate articles but not now.
They should be merged IMO. -Oosh (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Should not be merged at this time. Maybe at a later time. AusThor (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:01, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Isn't this an Australian Impala/CTS/STS? 2602:306:CDB2:4130:5850:9BFC:F6EB:D9F7 (talk) 04:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 13:32, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
– Although having the model code (e.g. VF) in between the make and model is acceptable usage, it is confusing especially for international readers who would find this unique-to-Australia convention thoroughly odd. It is equally as common in the media to have the format as VF Holden Commodore or Holden Commodore VF. International readers may understand the model to be marketed/badged as the "VF Commodore", when in reality it is just "Commodore". As per Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Disambiguation, parentheses should be used after the make and model to contain the generational identifier (VE, VF, etc). AFAIK, the only other batch of automobile articles that have their page titles similarly formatted are the Australian Ford Falcon, which I will nominate separately if this proposal succeeds.
So to summarise, by renaming this page to Holden Commodore (VF), we are more directly implying disambiguation by model code, removing the suggested inclusion of VF as part of the marketing model name, making it less confusing for non-Australian readers, and aligning the Holden pages with virtually all other articles which are titled with their model codes in parentheses: Toyota Corolla (E170), Toyota Camry (XV40), Lexus LS (XF40), Jeep Cherokee (XJ), BMW 3 Series (E90).

It seems User:V7867 is using this move discussion to pursue his own agenda of changing all references of Manufacturer Generation Model in Australian motor racing articles to Manufacturer Model Generation. He recently created a consensus discussion on the issue, then closed it himself, in his own favour after just seven days with only three contributors in favour of himself. Can we get this sort of behavior stopped? The changing of article titles to Manufacturer Model (Generation) in the above move was limited only to article titles, and changes beyond that were not within the scope of this discussion. --Falcadore (talk) 08:41, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
Now that the Holden Commodore & Ford Falcon page names have been "internationalized", has any consideration been given to the existing naming of the various Chrylser Valiant pages, eg Chrysler VC Valiant? Has any consideration been given to the hundreds of entries in various Australian motoring and motor sport pages which currently use the “Holden VF Commodore” format style in the actual page text? How do we now describe a Ford XB Falcon GT Hardtop? Is it a Ford Falcon (XB) GT Hardtop or a Ford Falcon GT (XB) Hardtop or a Ford Falcon GT Hardtop (XB)? GTHO (talk) 09:24, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Can the talk pages for the articles mentioned in this move request be updated so that the section saying there is a move request in progress and redirecting people to this page be amended or deleted? I am not sure of the procedure that needs to be followed.
