Non notable cigar brand, self-moved into mainspace by creator. jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:48, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: the article's only citation is self-published. It doesn't indicate that the brand has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources that suggest it passes corporate notability standards, nor can I find any myself.  It's quite strange that a seven-year-old userspace draft has just been moved into the mainspace like that, luckily the edit filter caught it which is how I presume  found it?

I am the original author, forgot I had made it back in the day and decided, based on a suggestion on its talk page that it seemed nearly ready for publication, to put it up. I understand the references are self published but its ACID brand of cigars are pretty popular, to the point that they even have a cigarillo version available at most gas stations (at least here in central Ohio.) It was my first attempt at a new article and not just edits and the information is all factual. Here is a recent news article referencing the brand: https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/19573 (W.A.A. IV (talk) 02:31, 29 September 2017 (UTC))
 * Weak keep: Not sure what the threshold is for a cigar brand to be notable, and this article's creator needs a WP:TROUT for using a single self-pub source, but I'm finding additional sources that indicate notability, or at least that it's a legit company.  If someone wants to try a WP:HEY and save this article, try adding content from these sites.   Montanabw (talk) 05:14, 29 September 2017 (UTC): Another Cigar Aficionado article, interview, ad description from a supplier, review.
 * Those sources aren't sufficient- the review is from what looks to be a self-published source, and the ad description from a supplier is exactly that- it'd be like claiming an Amazon listing is sufficient for notability. The Cigar Aficionado article is the only acceptable source but "demonstrating that it's a legit company" is not equivalent to notability. jcc (tea and biscuits) 14:44, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- a WP:Promo page on an unremarkable cigar brand; significant RS coverage not found. The article is cited exclusively to the company's own web site; there's not even an attempt to make the article presentable. Basically, corporate spam. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:19, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
