Beneluxcar
This page should be deleted as it has no useful information on the company, appears to be self promoting, and I don't believe it is worth the time to edit all of the grammatical errors that are present. Put a cleanup/advertisement template on the site for 2 weeks to see if the author or someone else cared to edit. No additional edits for the author on any other pages.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 *  Keep  There may be problems with this article, but is it really any different than the other car rental companies? Unless somebody can convince me why a company with 3500 locations should *not* have an article, I'm going to suggest this be moved to cleanup.  As it stands, I suspect this was babelfished from a foreign language wiki.  FrozenPurpleCube 15:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that this company shouldn't have an article, I'm saying that the article as it stands does not belong at wikipedia. Cleanup has been attempted, but didn't help. If that is the case, it's better to have a redlink than to have this article. A  ecis  I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive. 16:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps paring the article down to a bare minimum might work? Me, I could probably be easily convinced that the company isn't even real, but given that it is a foreign one, I'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. FrozenPurpleCube 17:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not a company that has 3500 locations, rather it brokers other car rental agencies with a total of 3500 available pick up locations. Give it a redlink if you like, on the French page it is flagged for something, looks like grammar there too (don't read French that well), so I am not sure it is babelfished or not. I tagged it for cleanup a few weeks back as I am all in the interest in keeping pages in the 'pedia, but no-one had any interest in cleaning. After I read it again I saw the lack of any company history or anything encyclopedic. Furthermore I have gone to the site and discerned that they do not publish a company history, and the parent company is "Autos Benelux". any article here should at least be for the parent company. Interestingly enough the About Us link brings you to a page about the company that has some of the same grammatical errors as the article.Puchscooter 18:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, on further reflection, I'm going to have to rescind my vote. It doesn't seem that this company is genuinely what it purported to be, though if somebody who reads French or Spanish or whatever language this company is native to does know better, then they're welcome to say so.

 * The article on the French wikipedia isn't flagged for grammar issues, but for verifiability issues. The template used is fr:Modèle:À vérifier, a sister of not verified. A  ecis  I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive. 19:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Duly noted, I ran the template through google translate and said it was for verifiability or neutrality issues, thanks for checking. Puchscooter 20:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable company, the webpage looks like blatant spam. Dockingman 04:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The French talk page also suggests the article is not notable. Vectro 00:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
