Cheney Brothers

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete No evidence of notability. No sources in article. A web source produced the company's own site and other non-independent sources. It also produced significant coverage of a completely different Cheney Brothers (of South Manchester, Connecticut), but no significant independent coverage of this Cheney Brothers. Judging both by the user name and by past editing history the creator of the article (Cheney Ashley) has a conflict of interest, and the article is probably intended to be promotional: whether this is so or not, I have been unable to find evidence of notability, or any independent sources.

 * Keep COI issues aside, the article appears to be sourceable. The company has been covered in a number of articles in the South Florida Business Jornal RadioFan (talk) 13:43, 17 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment A total of five articles in the South Florida Business Journal mention Cheney Brothers. In three of these Cheney Brothers gets one passing mention in an article about something else. (For example, an article about Alasave Buying Alliance says "Participating national vendors include Perdue, Costco, Staples and Sysco, plus local distributors, such as Riviera Beach-based Cheney Brothers and All Seas Seafood of Florida and Caro Longo Wholesale Produce." That is the only mention of Cheney Brothers.) Another one of the articles reports the fact that Catalfumo Construction and Development Inc built a new warehouse for Cheney Brothers. The other article tells us that Cheney Brothers has installed a wireless digital mobile phone system. I do not think that this constitutes substantial coverage.

 * Comment A reference has also been added to the article from an industry magazine.--RadioFan (talk) 12:33, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed, RadioFan has added such a reference. When I looked at the "article" concerned it struck me as reading exactly like an advertisement. When I looked further at the nature of the site on which it appears it became clear to me that this is a trade promotion vehicle. For example, it invites businesses to "Contact us today to discuss how we can help market your product or service to the refrigerated transportation market!" This is not independent coverage.
