Leaseplan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

non notable car leasing company. The two RS sources included in the references are in passing, quoting someone from LeasePlan about other topics, not about LeasePlan itself. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose Well-known car lease company in the Netherlands and Belgium. According to this newspaper article (in Dutch) in De Standaard they have leased 50,000 cars in Belgium alone, so it's not an non-noteworthy company. SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 16:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep plenty of news hits to justify inclusion. The article seriously needs work, no doubt, but simply using the 'news' link in this AFD is enough to convince anyone that they are notable.     are a few but there are dozens and dozens more.  They do a little bit more than just rent cars.  Dennis Brown (talk) 20:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Wikipedia’s rules set down a process from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion

''First do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the notability template, if you are disputing the notability of an article's subject. The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth.''

On the substance of the issue about ‘significant coverage’, here are some examples of coverage which meet the definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability:

- Although the last story is not directly about the firm, one third of it makes reference to the firm, so this passes the ‘more than a trivial mention’ test)--Highvoltageuk (talk) 00:34, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
