Contested PROD. The nomination for the PROD (which I agree with) was: "Only notability claim it setting a Guinness record for largest parade of MGs, which doesn't address any of the WP:CORP criteria. No in-depth third-party coverage." SmartSE (talk) 14:35, 15 August 2015 (UTC)


 *  Speedy Delete - Creation by a sock in violation of the user's block. Only edits by the creator and 2 minor edits by a newly created account. See Speedy delete WP:G5. But aside from that the company also clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:CORP (no in-depth coverage found, just a few common company listings, 2-3 passing mentions and several PR announcements). The whole claim of notability is based on a trivial, puffed up Guiness record and completely fails our inclusion criteria. GermanJoe (talk) 19:59, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The user wasn't blocked at the time of creation so G5 doesn't apply. SmartSE (talk) 20:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I mixed up the block and creation dates, thank you for pointing out that error. I struck that part of my statement accordingly (hope that's OK). GermanJoe (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * No probs. Personally, I wish it did qualify for speedy deletion! SmartSE (talk) 21:13, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete -- It seems to be an advert for a NN specialist insurance broker. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:32, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. It sponsors a car show, which is basically a publicity event and certainly doesn't make the sponsor Notable except to the folks who attend the show. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now as my searches found nothing good and convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  16:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
