Page title[edit]

It doesn't seem quite right somehow to include both the car and the driver in the page title. I suggest the article should be split into two, one about the Fiat Mefistofele and the speed trials with a biographical article on Ernest Eldridge with appropriate wikilinks between the two. I guess there are notability issues here....?

Alternatively, the article should perhaps be titled according to the most notable (be it the car or the driver) and a redirect created for the other.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Romney yw (talk) 21:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I think the page should be for Ernest Eldridge, as he was a land speed record holder with an additional page for the Fiat Mefistofele as the car seems to be a historical personality in its own right.
