Notability not even asserted. I couldn't establish that it is notable. Boleyn (talk) 08:39, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * There may be a source at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/Archive 1. Another source is cited in the German Wikipedia article. Peter James (talk) 17:57, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best and restart if better available later as none of this better convinces for a better article. SwisterTwister   talk  03:22, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per the source provided in de:Société l’Austral: "Harald Linz, Halwart Schrader: Die Internationale Automobil-Enzyklopädie. United Soft Media Verlag, München 2008, ISBN 978-3-8032-9876-8." There is discussion of an "Austral Wheel Race" at http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45842517 from The Examiner (Tasmania) and discussion of Austral trucks and motorcycle vans here. There is enough to establish notability per Notability. Cunard (talk) 01:44, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. There is mention here (p. 13) of the "Melbourne branch of the Austral Cycle Agency", and the Austral Wheel Race article doesn't establish any connection to the French company, but the other two sources Cunard found may be sufficient. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This article mentions in passing, "Among the other French tricar builders of the period were Austral, Bruneau and Griffon".


 * Keep. Useful already as a stub. Car is notable although sources will be printed sources pre-Internet. -- do ncr  am  05:58, 15 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep per Cunard and Peter James. Searching other Wikis would be the way to go before AfDing. Nordic   Dragon  14:21, 15 February 2016 (UTC)


 * , the other Wikis were searched, but an unreferenced Dutch stub and a German stub with a bit more but still not confirming notablity were of limited help. Boleyn (talk) 16:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. We generally keep all makes and marques of automobile. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:45, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - All car manufacturers are generally kept and it's obvious there's not gonna be much info on the net seeing as it was a 1907 company!, I'd imagine there's tons of sources off of the net tho. – Davey 2010 Talk 20:48, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
