Whitesides
This was created by Tom Morton as part of a vanity crapflood. It was NPOV'd to (more or less) "whitesides is the premier taxi service in Lancashire, established 1880". I couldn't verify "premier" so I removed it. I now find that I can't verify the date either, and the small number of google hits for "whitesides taxi service" are mostly not even about this firm. So I'd say it fails WP:CORP Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 12:15, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Reading the original this looks more like db-attack than promotion. A taxi service with a driver who keeps forgetting his pickups? A taxi firm with the motto "There's never one when you want one"? (I'm beginning to think this Tom Morton is hoax or attack rather than promotion, as well). Either way, delete. Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 12:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment the only thing that seems verifiable is the existence of a taxi firm called "Whiteside" in Lancashire: http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?keywords=taxis&companyName=whitesides&location=LANCASHIRE&Submit.x=13&Submit.y=6&searchType=classic Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 10:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
