Hire Association Europe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Likely A7 bait, no indication of notability. But since its been around for over 4 years, I'll give it a chance at AFD in case I'm missing something. TexasAndroid (talk) 14:47, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Possible delete - Because the article doesn't provide much information (founder, notable achievements, etc), I wouldn't know how far to search but using "1974", "Solihull" and "HAE" only provided this (company profile which mentions this Wikipedia article), this (one of their clients) and this (Russian, short news entry). However, a search using "model trade association" |countryGB&tbo=d&gl=uk&tbs=ctr:countryUK|countryGB,ar:1&tbm=nws&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=4KAjUYblBoay2gXSu4GYDw&ved=0CCEQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.b2I&fp=d7e79717db543d71&biw=1320&bih=704 provided some results, mostly with an award they hosted. Some of the articles also mention a "managing director" Graham Arundell so I searched again and found |countryGB&tbo=d&gl=uk&tbs=ctr:countryUK|countryGB,ar:1&tbm=nws&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=VqEjUdSPB8iu2AXvioD4BA&ved=0CCEQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.b2I&fp=d7e79717db543d71&biw=1320&bih=704 some more results. This search also provided a former director Kevin Minton so I searched another time and found a |countryGB&tbo=d&gl=uk&tbs=ctr:countryUK|countryGB,ar:1&tbm=nws&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=QaIjUabGC6Pg2gWy3YCwBQ&ved=0CCEQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.b2I&fp=d7e79717db543d71&biw=1320&bih=704 few results. One of the results from the Graham Arundell search also mentioned another employee here, Stephen Dorricott. Searches including Stephen Dorricott provided nothing else aside from the one manchestereveningnews.co.uk link so he may not receive as much attention as Arundell. Highbeam offered some results which makes me question if they may be notable (perhaps only locally) despite there not being any significant information about them. I also found an interview here with Arundell which talks more about the industry than the group itself. I'm not British so I'm not familiar with this company but I'm willing to reconsider if other users prove Hire Association is notable. It seems to me that someone from HAE created this article and it became one of the many forgotten articles here on Wikipedia. The advert templates were removed from this article at one point and one British IP replaced the content with "Please visit www.hae.org.uk". SwisterTwister   talk  16:24, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep I have not tried to read them in detail, but the abstracts of the sources ST has found indicate extensive coverage in UK business periodicals--which of course has to be tempered with a regard from probable influence by PR, and also that The Independent and the Daily Mail uses them as a key source on the industry. That's something I take more seriously, and it's sufficient. My general concept is that just as a national sport team in a sport is notable, the major national association in a significant line of business is notable   DGG ( talk ) 01:04, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
