In spite of the apparent large number of references, does not meet WP:GNG. The references are all either press releases, promotional placements, advertisements, articles containing a quote from the CEO but not saying anything about smartours, or the company homepage itself. Also violates WP:COI, as the article creator is an officer of the company. ubiquity (talk) 14:28, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment: Here is my analysis of the 17 references. I don't see any evidence of notability here. ubiquity (talk) 14:40, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. Removing the speedy tag from this article was a poor call: the assertion of notability is slimmer than a slim thing and as noted the "references" are virtually all bordering on spamlinks. Promotional article about dull travel agency.TheLongTone (talk) 15:14, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with on the source analysis. It seems pretty much the entire volume of material about this company available on the internet is in the article, and none of it is sufficient to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. § FreeRangeFrog  croak 22:49, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
