Nakedbus.com
non-notable website/company.--U911 16:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC) — Possible single purpose account: U911 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.


 * A company that started trading two days ago is bound to be non-notable, especially if you're not in the country of operation. However, if Nakedbus (lousy name, but that's irrelevant) is following the pattern of Megabus in the UK it is doing something of note, if it succeeds.  Page needs redesigning, proper links etc, but I'm not sure it is a candidate for deletion, yet.  Emeraude 21:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Notability is not subjective and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Notability is not a matter of personal judgements made by Wikipedians, such as the above.  And keeping an article because the subject might be encyclopaedia-worthy in the future is very close to "Keep the article on this worthy company so that it gets some free advertising from Wikipedia.".  Wikipedia is based upon what is right now, not upon guesswork as to what might be; requires that subjects be fully documented outside of Wikipedia before thay have articles; and most definitely is not a soapbox or an advertising billboard for worthy causes.

 * The only things that document this company are reprints of its launch press releases from a few days ago, such as this. The WP:CORP criteria are not satisfied.  Delete. Uncle G 11:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
