Article fails WP:NOTABILITY. Has a few links but they seem to be press releases and self-published.Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. Hu12 (talk) 16:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I have actually cited Ultimate Motorcycling in articles in the past, but I've lost confidence in their independence. I tried to find news articles about them, and came up only with press releases. This press release claims they are the #1 US streetbike magazine web site according to Alexa.com, which might be a claim to notability. Something called FishbowlLA blogged in response. My take is that the list of top 10 Alexa traffic rankings for US streetbike magazines is not considered notable by independent media to a degree that would meet the criterion at the top of WP:WEB "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself". I don't think the Alexa ranking is a "well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization".  A merge into Robb Report wouldn't be a travesty. --Dbratland (talk) 00:32, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
