Talk:Horizon Travel

New Horizon Travel
As far as I can see, this newly-founded (2011) travel company is not yet noteworthy enough for its own article, and therefore shouldn't attempt to over-write the defunct company, which was one of the first package travel companies. Quite a few of the links to references are quasi-promotional or poorly sourced. Bob talk 17:19, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Better to over-write than to challenge legally for complete removal. The references to Horizon Travel being defunct have caused issues with customers.All we have done is provide an accurate record of the trading name and future for the branding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.129.244 (talk) 19:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. The issue here is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising space, so if a company chooses a name that was previously used for a now-defunct company, then a new name cannot simply over-write that. What you will need is to provide evidence that the newly-founded company should be mentioned here - are there any sources that show that it meets our inclusion guidelines at WP:COMPANY? I've had a look around for some references, but the only related site appears to be HorizonDirect.co.uk/about. This states that the company was founded in 2003, which seems to contradict the information related here. Would you be able to clarify please? Bob talk 21:24, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
