Limited Snowboards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable, fails WP:CORP. Reads like a promotional piece JMHamo (talk) 16:34, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lacks the multiple reliable independent secondary sources discussing the subject as required to establish notability under WP:GNG.  Searches turned up nothing useful.  Msnicki (talk) 00:19, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Added: I have reviewed the new sources added by WorldBruce after my !vote. I'm unimpressed.  All of them are basically routine coverage, e.g., personnel changes, merger announcements, etc., and are excluded as evidence of notability under WP:CORPDEPTH.  Msnicki (talk) 09:14, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Six additional, independent, reliable sources have been added to meet WP:CORP. None covers Limited Snowboards in as much depth as the original 700+ word reference. The first Denver Post article is about half-and-half Limited and Volant. A couple focus more on Volant, with only a sentence or two about Limited. Each contains a different nugget of information useful for putting together the complete history of the largest snowboard manufacturer in Canada and its legacy - the outsourcing of production to China, and the end of ski manufacturing in the United States. Any promotional appearance, such as the misuse of bold, can be fixed by editing. At worst, return it to draft space. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:27, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Pinging AfC accepter. Interested in what their thinking was and is. Worldbruce (talk) 07:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I assume the above meant to notify so I am completing the action now.  SwisterTwister   talk  07:39, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep It has sources it just doesn't meet WP:MOS which isn't a reason to delete an article (at least I don't think it is but I have been wrong before). The article could also use some work to meet WP:IC provided the New sources meet WP:RS. If it was honestly the largest producer of snowboards in Canada at one time I think that it probably would meet WP:GNG.-- Cameron11598  (Converse) 07:46, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but per WP:RANK, being the biggest snowboard producer in Canada (even if true) does not make the subject notable. WP:GNG still requires multiple reliable independent secondary sources addressing the subject in detail.  Msnicki (talk) 10:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * keep The references and extra links show that this passes WP:GNG. I am fixing up the MOS violating bolding, and toning down the hype. I rescued this on the edge of g13 deletion, because the page had potential as an article, but the writer had left it unimproved. AFC acceptor: Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
