[edit] Fatbike

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

Bicycle brand. I don't think one mention in the Anchorage newspaper is enough to establish encyclopedic notability. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - ^ that and the article only has one sentence --Cradel 19:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. -- Gavin Collins (talk) 11:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as there is no content, context or reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notbability. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Google, people. I added a citation to Fox News. Presumably that's a reliable source. Incidentally, nothing wrong with a newspaper simply because it's in Alaska, and nothing wrong with a one-sentence stub. I rewrote it to be clearer, but the sentence did what a lead is supposed to do, identified the subject and said what it's all about. Short articles are there to be expanded, not deleted.

  • Comment If the only sources you have cited support the statement "The bicycles are designed for use on snow" then that is a trivial reference that fails WP:CORP, no matter where it comes from. I have no idea why an experienced editor such as yourself would have created this stub. It has so little content that it would not even be included as a footnote in an article on bicycles. From where I stand, you are just timewasting. --Gavin Collins (talk) 16:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. It actually helps if you read the sources from time to time. I couldn't seem to access the Anchorage news article on the link provided, but here's another link that replicates that news story. [1] Clearly more than just a sentence that says "they're designed to be used on snow" as they talk about the competition that Wildfire faces in making/marketing these things. I'd agree with Wikidemo, seems to be enough notability to keep and expand. --Craw-daddy | T | 22:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
