 * Keep Merge / rename  Moss is one of the better known UK kit car builders and Cowperthwaite's eponymous "JC" badging on a number of cars is pretty well known too. Notability is minor, certainly, but it should support a merge and redirect to a Moss article, if we had one.  In the absence of Moss, or anyone willing to rename/create one pronto, then we should keep this. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:06, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll be delighted to withdraw if I see two sources that make a stab at GNG. And absolutely no prejudice against a merge/redirect, although I'd rather, if this fellow does have sourcing that I've missed, preserve the article.  --j⚛e deckertalk 18:15, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The TSSC have some coverage here, but it's all in terms of Moss' use of the Triumph Herald platform. As I doubt there's notability (let alone proven notability) outside of kit cars, and nearly all of that was either Moss or can be presented as a precursor to Moss (the "plans and patterns" era JC Midge), I think a section in a Moss article is where this belongs. Other printed sources are probably best found in Kit Car magazine etc. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Withdraw given that I have no objections to that, and it doesn't require deletion. --j⚛e deckertalk 20:08, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
