Wilderness Scotland

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I don't see what makes this company notable, and the generally promotional tone doesn't help. The nomination also applies to Wilderness Journeys for all the same reasons. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  04:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - The company's most obvious claim to fame (WP:N) is in the article's ref to 'The Guardian', which runs: "Wilderness Scotland (www.wilderness-scotland.com), an adventure and eco-tourism company specialising in small group holidays on foot, bike, kayak and canoe, was runner-up. The judges were impressed by the company's expertise, enthusiasm and dedication to sustainable tourism. It focuses on areas where tourism will bring economic and environmental benefits. It has also teamed with Trees for Life, a project working to restore 600 square miles of native Caledonian forest." But there are plenty of other reliable references. It sounds a very decent little company that has already made a notable mark (8 awards are listed in the article) on Scottish tourism. Nom is right about the promotional tone, it just needs copy-editing for NPOV. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:23, 8 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I've done a slash-and-burn on the promotional and corporate stuff in BOTH articles - they're a lot shorter now, and I hope more readable. ;-) The note above applies just to Scotland. Both articles (which could well be merged) have good references to establish Notability, and both companies have won awards reported in newspapers. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
