Speedy deletion contested
what advertising? Please, please explain. This article is about a motor cycle company that no longer exists, so I don't understand the reference to advertising or spam. Seasalt 13:34, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a needed page for the Motorcycling WikiProject and is a historical article about the defunct motorcycle manufacturer. Deletion request is totally unwarranted. ww2censor 13:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Looking at this guys contribs page, he is a new user serially putting up speedy deletion notices. I am not allowed to remove a deletion notice from an own article. Can you?Seasalt 14:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Special Category for British Motorcycles
As part of the Motorcycling WikProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out there is a special Category:British motorcycles Please add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons Motorcycles of Britain so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons.

The founder - who was he and when did he die?
Grace's Guide, not credited in the article, states that one Norman Duckwood Downes started New Imperial

See http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/New_Imperial

The birth of Norman Tuckwood Downs was registered in Nottingham in the first quarter of 1875

(His parents, Norman Downs and Margaret Tuckwood, had married in Nottingham in 1870)

His marriage in Aston was registered in the third quarter of 1901

His death was registered in the New Forest district in the third quarter of 1936 (sic)

The age at death was given as 62.

Probate records give his address as Wake Green Road, Moseley. (This is only a mile or two from the New Imperial factory).

In all five cases noted above, the surname is recorded as Downs
