Bashan 125R
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

In the first AfD, I said "Non-notable product. No independent sourcing to back up any of the claims in the article." Although some sources have been added, the root problems remain. The only independent source is the China Business Review story, but it discusses business in Chongqing and makes only a passing reference to Bashan. The remaining sources are non-independent, as they're websites of the manufacturer, importer, or resellers. Accordingly, the product does not appear to have received significant coverage in reliable sources—and fails the general notability guidelines. I had tagged it for speedy deletion under criterion G4, but that's been turned down, so I'm opening a second AfD discussion. —C.Fred (talk) 00:30, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't know that this needs to be deleted. Clearly it's all marketing, and all of that material needs to be removed, but I don't agree that it is without any notability.  ⊂&#124; Mr.choppers &#124;⊃  (talk) 07:44, 21 January 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.
