[edit] Argus Rentals

Argus Rentals (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It looks more like an advertisement than an encyclopaedia article. "We rent cars, here are our websites." I also note from comments on the talk page that "Argus Car Hire" has been speedied several times. It may be a candidate for speedy, but as I anticipate contention I'm going for AfD instead.

• Delete per above. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 02:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as spam. As far as notability goes, from what I can make of their website, they don't actually lease the cars, they just serve as brokers to arrange rentals. (Which makes me question the 9000 locations, and it's implied notability). Bfigura ^(talk) 03:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable company. Keb25 10:58, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. It is written like an advertisement, and its notability is questionable. --Ioeth _{(talk contribs)} 16:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:NOT#SOAP. It may also fail WP:N. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) (review) 16:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - From the talk page: several links have been posted in order to address notability. They are:
  • http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/car-hire-boss-is-motoring-along-nicely-with-eye-on-global-market-274532.html
  • http://www.independent.ie/business/argus-keeps-tourists-on-the-move-385545.html
  • http://www.ey.com/global/Content.nsf/Ireland_EOY_E/2005Finalists_-_Emerging_-_Argus
  • http://www.arguscarhire.com/about-us.asp

  The last link there is their own site, but the first couple are news stories. Personally, I have no opinion as to the company's notability. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
