CURE Auto Insurance

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Very promotional and reads like an advertorial having all the traits of (but not necessarily is) a comissioned work (COI/paid advocacy). The massive tag bombing is either to unreliable sources, sources based on press releases, or non notable awards (runner up or finalist does not amount to notability).

 * Weak delete - Most significant coverage in reliable sources is the carrier's controversial Super Bowl television ad. Meatsgains (talk) 21:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PROMO. With content such as "CURE has been vocal about its philosophy that car insurance rates should be primarily based upon an applicant’s driving record..." this is strictly an advertorial page. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:56, 16 September 2016 (UTC)delete, analysis with statitsics!
 * Delete. small company with no likely notability to be found. Any references that are more than notices are  its own advertorials, or reprints of them.  DGG ( talk ) 20:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as a run of the mill small insurance company. Let's play statistics, folks. This company has "almost 50,000" policies for motor vehicles in New Jersey. There are almost 255 million Passenger_vehicles_in_the_United_States out of over 330 million people. There is almost one vehicle per household member in the United States, and about 70 % of households own at least one personal motor vehicle. The New Jersey MVC reports annually on the statistics (.pdf required). Depending on what statistic you are using, and when, New Jersey is the second or third most affluent state. New Jersey has almost 9 million people. Even assuming some of them don't have cars, I would guess reasonably that 70 % do. A heavily suburban and relatively affluent state, that would be conservative. In round numbers, that's 6.3 million cars, folks. The number of cars in New Jersey is proverbially huge: that's why the Jersey barrier was invented, and part of why Alcohol laws of New Jersey are so complex (to stop drunk driving). On some days, it seems like all of them converge on Fort Lee, New Jersey. That means that, in round numbers, 50,000/6,300,000 = 1 out of every 126 cars. So this little insurance company insures less than one car in a hundred in a single state. No, it's not notable. Bearian (talk) 19:56, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * P.S. As a comparison, State Farm insured drivers have had about 190,000 claims just for auto-deer collisions annually. Bearian (talk) 02:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
