Don-Bur

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I declined a CSD A7 for this, but efforts to find reliable independent sources are proving fruitless. It's a very familiar brand, albeit not quite Fruehauf or Boalloy in terms of non-truckie name recognition, but those of us who regularly wear grooves in the UK's motorway network this will eb a well known name. And yet: I cannot source it. Guy (Help!) 23:46, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

 * I agree it's not quite Fruehauf, but there is plenty of material to show their notability. It is a rather specialist field so it is difficult to separate grain (independent press) from chaff (PR fluff), but most of these seem legit to me:
 * Don-Bur launches VOSA-compliant load restraint, transportengineer.org.uk
 * Don-Bur shows 52-pallet lifting deck trailer at CV Show, transportengineer.org.uk
 * £3m expansion creates 40 new jobs at Don-Bur, Stoke Sentinel
 * Don-Bur invests £1 million in facilities, Stoke Sentinel
 * No tears thanks to contract for revolutionary trailer, Stoke Sentinel
 * Don-Bur ontwikkelt een 4 m hoge Teardrop trailer, www.truck-business.com
 * Don-Bur maakt Euro-versie Teardrop trailer, TTM.nl
 * Teardrop or pipe dream?, transportengineer.org.uk
 * DHL and DON-BUR launch a new Curtainsider Teardrop trailer, Fleet.ie
 * Don Bur factory fire in Stoke-on-Trent caused by drying system, BBC
 * DHL Supply Chain makes Don-Bur Teardrop standard www.commercialmotor.com
 * Press Release: Deutsche Post DHL introduces first Teardrop Trailer in Germany and France, DHL
 * One may question how much of this coverage is about their most famoust product, a teardrop trailer, which is AFAICT used by DHL fleet worldwide, but a company producing a notable product is probably notable enough to have a short factual article such as this.

 * Delete WP:NOTINHERITED. Unsourced article, started by undeclared COI editor. Refs could probably go to Teardrop trailer (truck), itself, AfD'd however, as unsourced. Nordic   Nightfury  15:42, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete I see this more as a case where a particular product might be somewhat known in the country, but the company isn't. The coverage in BBC for example is about a fire in the factory. Most of the other is mostly local coverage. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:38, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as corporate spam & WP:TOOSOON. Sources presented at this AfD are mostly local, along the lines of "homegrown company does well" etc. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:06, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
