Canadian Mountain Holidays

Makes claim of WP:N by saying "is one of the original Canadian touring companies". Only significant ref found is la times, but that's only a short travel column about a rock path that the company put up (the company is mentioned in passing). -Zeus-u 18:54, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Delete. Quite a large helping of advertising here; it could be that Mr. Gmoser is himself notable, but that would be outside the realm of this discussion. I very much doubt that it is "one of the original Canadian touring companies"; that ignores a couple of hundred years of Canadian history. I recall that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle toured the Banff area at the beginning of the 20th century, and I think a touring company may have been involved in that and other such tours much earlier than this company's 1965 origins. This company might be one of the original Banff-area ski touring companies, which is a much less broad claim with much less inherent notability. I agree with the nominator that most of the references are not significant. Accounting4Taste: talk 23:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't delete The claim that "Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH) is one of the original Canadian helicopter touring companies" is perhaps a little broad but what the author of this article was trying to get across is that CMH is the company that founded heli-skiing, which I believe is quite notable. Check out the book "Bugaboo Dreams" by Topher Donahue.
 * Comment; I think the assertion must be that Mr. Gmoser himself is that inventor (although as I note from the Heliskiing article, that claim does not have universal agreement). Again, it might be that Mr. Gmoser is notable for such an invention, but that's not an article we're here to discuss.  Even if the company in question was the first to offer such a service commercially, I'm not seeing anything that indicates that arm's-length third-party experts think that that is notable.

Don't delete I don't understand how this can be considered spam if it is the company that invented heli skiing? The book "Bugaboo Dreams" by Topher Donahue tells the story if you aren't convinced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.144.87 (talk) 16:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC) — 142.179.144.87 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment The Avalanche Hunters apparently disagrees, so, no, I'm not convinced.  It's possible, but not guaranteed.  Accounting4Taste: talk 17:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
