Averitt Express

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. This has been around for over a year but still has no significant references other than its own web-site and appears to have no special notability.  Velella  Velella Talk 22:54, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately delete - I've actually seen these trucks on the road several times but my searches found nothing outstandingly good to suggest good improvement here, here, here and here. I suppose if needed, I'm open to draft/userfy. SwisterTwister   talk  17:41, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, because the links that SwisterTwister provides do establish notability, as far as I see it. There is some coverage in books, such as this, and quite a few news articles, and even an academic journal article. That's enough to meet WP:GNG. This is not to say that there aren't problems with the article. "Today, Averitt is one of the leading transportation companies in the US", sourced to Averitt's own website, is clearly inappropriate, for instance. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:54, 20 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep and copy edit. Meets WP:CORPDEPTH, although on the weaker side. Source examples include:, (preview), , , , . North America1000 10:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
