Midual

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:CRYSTAL, "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors." The most recent news, from July 2011, about Midual is at VisorDown, which says the Midual is "a machine that got a fair bit of publicity when it was shown as a prototype back in 1999, but then disappeared without trace." Nothing since. So it fails Notability (organizations and companies). There needs to be significant, sustained coverage in multiple sources that cover this company/product in depth. The designer and mockup builder, Glynn Kerr, speaks of it in the past tense. If the bike is ever produced, then there will be sources, and then there will be a reason to have an article.

 * I restored this based on the argument "Company still exists, based in the city of Angers (France),official name is RDMO, bike is still in development" made by 88.74.141.162. See whether this IP can improve the article with some current sources. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:11, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
