Karbelt Speed & Custom

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a company, not reliably sourced as passing WP:CORP standards of notability. The references here are both directly affiliated primary sources, not notability-supporting media coverage: one is a directory profile on the self-published website of its industry marketing association, while the other is a press release on the self-published website of an organization with which it signed a sponsorship deal. As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because primary sources like this technically verify that they exist -- a company has to have media coverage, in reliable sources they are not directly affiliated with, to be considered notable per CORP.

 * Delete The best source I could find was, which is fairly clearly based on a press release, and thus isn't intellectually independent. Vanamonde (talk) 22:25, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – I would argue that being Canada's first speed shop would make it notable, but there are no policies that say that notability is derived from that. I couldn't find any sources sufficient for WP:GNG and a redirect to Bay Street doesn't make sense, given that there's no in-depth history section there, so a deletion is probably the best option.
