Team Hybrid

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I originally nominated this as a CSD as it deserved for the reason that it is a non-notable as there are a number of organizations that enter car shows.

but another editor removed this nomination stating that "mentions in DVDs/magazines/etc. constitute a weak claim to notability"

If this is notable, thatn what about a large umber of owners club, does this make them notable and in my case, this oe is absolutely not.

Also, this article is created by an editor who the Co-Leader in Training (NorCal Human Resource Director), therefore he has COI issues within the article

IMO, editors are not allowed to create articles about themselves and their organizations, this is the reason why this will have to go. Moosato Cowabata (talk) 15:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 *  Keep Delete. While an article written by someone with a conflict of interest is inappropriate, it is not a reason for deletion. I would call these sources multiple, non-trivial references which meets WP:N. The article requires a lot of cleanup, but that's not what AfD is for. — BradV 15:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Those references you cited are for a Malaysian online gaming group, not a North American auto tuning company. Care to reconsider? --DeLarge (talk) 16:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It appears you are correct, and I have changed my vote. I reserve the right to change it back if someone finds a source. — BradV 16:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * comment But I can't see what is really notable about this organization, there are lots of organisation of such as they will always enter competition and appear in magazines purely for publicity purposes. Plus most of your link are not at all related to the organization themself. Moosato Cowabata (talk) 15:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I would suggest replacing the CSD tag (if the notability is the reason and you've checked google, etc to verify non-notability) and perhaps doing the other user a favor by adding a holdon tag beneath it. As far as I am aware people are allowed to create articles about themselves but, need to try and follow guidelines about POV, COI, and a number of other issues.

 * Delete. As demonstrated above, there are no references about the car tuning company. Claims of winning thousands of trophies are negated by the fact that tens of thousands of trophies are given out every year all over the world at car shows. In fact, I'll go further than just voting delete; reading the article's talk page where some sneaky hagiographic spamming is going on just outside the article mainspace, I'd say this qualifies for speedy deletion. --DeLarge (talk) 16:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
