Electric Drift Trike

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Prod removed without explanation by article author. Seems to have been written by an author with a serious conflict of interest in an effort to promote a particular product. Could not find a single reliable source to suggest that the product or company or activity is notable. Stalwart 111  04:54, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

For the record: reference 1 is the company's own website, reference 2 is an association page that doesn't mention the subject at all and reference 3 is an advertisement/vlog that includes some people using the subject product but doesn't explain what they are, the history, etc - certainly not "significant coverage" as would ordinarily be required.

 * Delete - The article seems spamish, and flooded with self published content, wikipedia is not a blog or an adsense site, also the neutrality of the article is already compromised. The notability is the most intriguing factor, even though it is my preliminary opinion, even though a quick search brings no reliable sources which would sustain its maintenance (and prove that the subject is in fact notable) on WP.

 * Query - Hi
 * What kind of information do you need for this article to be deemed as fit for Wiki?
 * This is a product that we created and such all images bare our Logo's (which i have now taken down). The main information for electric trikes are on Blogs, Forums and our website. A well known company (Audi) has used an Electric Trike in its video, we have images of an electric trike on a Track, being built from the ground up and given a detailed description on how they are used and built.
 * I spent a good amount of time making it as detailed as possible and in comparison to Drift Trikes Wiki Page it seems much more informative.


 * If you could take the time to inform me of what information you need to see to believe an Electric Drift Trike is a real thing and how i explained the functionality is true, i would greatly appreciate it.

 * I've left a couple of messages at your talk page with some of the policies and guidelines you should have a read of. But basically, the stuff at WP:N is a good place to start. Then WP:RS with regard to blogs and forums as sources. It being a real thing is not automatic justification for an article here, as existence does not equal notability.
