 * It asserts that the company's "branded products offer the most competitive retail price point within the European market" and that its range of products is "incredibly affordable", with "prices that are still hard to credit", and "ideal". &#9786; Uncle G 14:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * this and this indicate that Red Submarine itself might satisfy the WP:CORP criteria. But this article, which is about one of that company's brands, which is wholly unsourced, and which is full of blatant puffery like the aforementioned, is not something that we want in the meantime.

 * Comment: I'm relisting this because the blatant puffery has been removed. Now the question is: Is this company is notable enough to be kept? --Deathphoenix ʕ 12:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've worked through the article, fixing up the refs and removing extlinks (down as refs) which didn't prove anything (links to two reviews doesn't prove that he two reviews caused the company success) and others that were unrelated. The parent company, Red Submarine, would be a close call for WP:CORP since it's got two news stories from a single source, but both look very much of the "we'll buy you a few beers, here's our figures, can you write up a story around that?" sort of work... Gear4Music itself does not meet WP:WEB (I wouldn't count a regional award in a purely UK set of ecommerce awards as "a well known and independent award"). So, ... delete.
