Lightning Car Company

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

At Miscellany for deletion/Lightning Car Company, wanted this article to be deleted because: "Company is a scam. Does not exist. Images from the company are derived from Lightning Hybrids in Loveland, Colorado. Company posts job careers all over web that do not exist. Article cites, 'Dan' without any reference to who 'Dan' is.

 * Keep per this Google News Archive search, which reveals coverage of this company in multiple reliable sources. See this article and this article from The Daily Telegraph, this article from Business Week. Verifiability and notability are both established. Cunard (talk) 21:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete -Unsourced advertisement. Carrite (talk) 01:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable company in its role in developing electric cars. Brief search confirms that there are enough reliable sources to establish notability. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Bad faith nomination by an SPA who has done nothing else at Wikipedia except nominate this article for deletion. There is absolutely no justification for nominator's claim that the article is a hoax and a scam. The company certainly exists, with multiple Reliable Source hits at Google News; I added a couple to the article. The company unveiled its prototype Lightning GT at the British International Auto Show in 2008. At this point most of the coverage is about the car, not the company, so I suppose it could be merged to Lightning GT. But presumably other models besides the GT will be introduced so I would prefer it to remain as a standalone article. --MelanieN (talk) 15:41, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
