Moto Martin

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable company. WP:GNG requires significant coverage of the subject. Of the two sources cited, one, The World's Fastest Motorcycles by John Cutts and Michael Scott does not mention Moto Martin at all.. The second source, The Café Racer Phenomenon, only mentions the name once, only in passing, among a list of chassis builders who were influenced by Egli. Keep per Dr. Blofeld. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak delete No notability asserted, plus it fails WP: GNG. Electric Catfish 16:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Depends on the level of obscurity the motorcycle project wants to cover (there are very obscure articles in the aviation project, the 'bulletproofer' is the amount of referencing). I remember the Moto Martin CBX being featured in a magazine and other books. If I was looking for info on this brand I would expect WP to cover it.

 * I don't think we in the motorcycling project have the power to override WP:GNG with a convention that says, "make an article on every motorcycle manufacturer" or every model of bike or something. WP:NRVE, which says "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists", is policy and that trumps WikiProject rules. And there have been so many motorcycle manufactures that came and went in the space of a few years without leaving a ripple. We don't want articles on all of them. In this case however, Dr. Blofeld has cited enough sources to keep this one. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep There are enough reliable sources to pass notability requirements.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:45, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
