[edit] Abel Developments

Abel Developments (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Apparently non-notable local building company. Page was created on 15 June 2007 and almost immediately nominated for speedy deletion: nom withdrawn (correctly) and replaced by "under construction". No substantive edits since. Article is orphaned. Notability not asserted in article. (NHBC approval is a standard requirement for house builders in the UK. The Daily Express 'house building award' may or may not be important, but it is unsourced and I can't find it.) A search on Google (restriced to UK sites) reveals lot of hits, but these are to adverts, directory entries, estate agents' sites etc., as well as minutes and planning applications from local government planning committees. There is nothing that is non-trivial and independent that I can discern. The only vaguely useful reference is from a local paper, Lynn News (and you can't get more local) but that mainly concerns a campaign to preserve an archaeological site that the company wanted to build on, and does not support anything in the article or assert notability to the company.

  • Delete per nom. - no evidence of notability. JohnCD (talk) 11:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - NN apart from adverts, which is coincidentally what this article reads like.... WP:SPAM? Pete Fenelon (talk) 17:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
