Iwinch

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

non-notable product. A full-page spread in a local newspaper is about it, and that is certainly not enough. Ironholds (talk) 20:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

iWinch has become one of the most recognized names in winchskating. If you google iWinch, you will find that it is a popular topic of conversation which makes it notable. The wakeboarding world has developed a need for this type of winch and the process of wakeboarding behind a winch has worldwide recognition. iWinch should remain a Wikipedia topic because it is considered by many to be one of the first on the scene.

 * Delete. Can't find any significant coverage from reliable, independent sources.  Article does not provide any and seems promotional in nature. Rnb (talk) 20:50, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Please reconsider the deletion of this article. I have shortened the article to a brief and to the point synopsis. I removed the picture that appeared to make the article promotional. I understand that the sport of winching appears to be far from mainstream, however, inside the large community of wakeboarding/skating, winching is becoming a huge success. A page of history has already been written and is continuing to evolve.

 * Delete - Google iWinch and everything you get is started by the people who make it. Wiki article is non-encyclopedic and self-promotional. Until getting dragged across a lake on a winch becomes a little more mainstream (no pun intended!) then the iWinch is not an item of any notability. Trevor Marron (talk) 00:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 *  Delete Tow it away as a desperate advertising attempt. Alexius08 (talk) 13:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
