A2B Bicycles

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of any notability. Refs are book selling sites. The Economic Times review is about a company trying to decide whether to sell these bikes. Searches provide many selling site but few if any reliable independent sources. A few blogs exist but reliability is very questionable. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 20:27, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. I have no opinion on the notability of the subject of the article at this time. However, the nominator seems to misunderstand the references contained within the article. Velella stated that the "Refs are book selling sites", which is false and misleading. The references contain links to Google Books, which is "a service from Google Inc. that searches the full text of books and magazines that Google has scanned, converted to text using optical character recognition (OCR), and stored in its digital database". The references are not to book selling sites, but to actual books and magazines stored in the Google Books database. MarkZusab (talk) 23:48, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Bicycles from this company have been reviewed in publications including Wired, ABC News, and TechCrunch, along with receiving coverage from The Times of India and The Economic Times. MarkZusab (talk) 00:10, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. Easily passes GNG, and arguably passes CORPDEPTH as well. The Economic Times articles focuses on both A2B and its parent company, showing more coverage than simply reviews or financial results. A merge to a new page for the parent organization might be good to do at some point, if Hero Eco looks more easily notable. MidwestSalamander (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Commenting that after adding more coverage to the page, everything is basically inaccurate as it was. A2G is a brand, not an independent company it looks, and Hero Eco (in some form) has always been the parent company. Renaming the page A2B (brand) or merging it into a Hero Eco section might help clarify for readers. MidwestSalamander (talk) 15:14, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - easily meets WP:GNG. However, as suggested above, this page would be better restructured as an article on Hero Eco. Just Chilling (talk) 15:48, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
