Dub (wheel)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Nominated per WP:N, WP:V, and possibly WP:NOR. I prod'ed the article approximately a month ago, but the notice was removed without comment. Afterwards, I tagged the article for some of the reasons noted above, but nearly a month without any real response (despite my explanation and encouragement on the talk page) suggests that either the concerns I raised cannot be addressed or that no editor is willing to do so. I strongly suspect the former, and so I've brought it to AfD. jonny-mt(t)(c) 05:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 *  pimp Delete - No assertion of notability, and I fail to see how this could ever be verifiable. No more bongos 05:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC) Further comment Merge any useful content to the article on the magazine and redirect.No more bongos 17:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC) I stand by my contention that it is impossible to create a decent article on this subject. This page should be at best a redirect to the magazine or to Alloy wheel. No more bongos 04:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Reluctant delete without prejudice to recreation. Searching Google for "dub wheel" makes it very clear that the term "Dub" is in widespread use, not only on the streets, but commercially.  In fact, Wikipedia has an article on DUB Magazine, a magazine about these wheels.  However, this article is entirely OR and really cannot be easily fixed.  If no one can fix it before the close of the AfD, I suggest we scrap it and start over.  --Hyperbole 07:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Term is clearly notable. While article does contain considerable OR at this point it could be fixed.  Sources are clearly available try searching for Dub wheel on google news and plenty come up.  I say stub the article to remove the OR and let it grow from there, I will certainly keep an eye on it to make sure it stays clear of unverifiable garbage. --Daniel J.

 * Keep. Highly notable and verifiable...you can get virtual infinite amounts of reliable secondary info from DUB Magazine... Smashville 21:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I concur, a notable article experiencing a temporary plague of OR. Trim & keep. THE KING 12:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable topic, bad article. Notorious4life 22:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I am an anonymous websurfer who came to this page ignorant that DUB = wheel; when I googled 'DUB,' this page answered the definition I was seeking. (10 November 2007)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.121.225.33 (talk) 21:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
