[edit] Mosley Guitars

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

Company which appears to fail WP:COMPANY. A Google search for "Mosley Guitars", returns only 78 hits, mostly advertising/press release-type stuff by the company itself and links to their eBay auctions. Nothing on Google News. Unable to find any coverage whatsoever in reliable secondary sources. This was brought to attention on the talk page of the article, however - which is concerning, if true. This is a cached portion of the deleted thread from that forum, where several users voice their concerns about some of the claims made by the company.

  • Delete — I think. I'm on fairly safe grounds on saying the company fails WP:CORP. But I'm concerned that this article has become the battleground for an Internet urinating match between the company and its detractors. I have warned the original author about his responses to critcial messages, and his propensity to throw around charges of bad faith and such. Having said that, those who say the company's practices are fraudulent have also posted pretty harsh messages, even to the point of vandalizing the article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Article lacks reliable secondary sources to establish notability. Further, the homepage of the company links to the article, making me suspect a conflict of interest. dissolvetalk 18:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:CORP. The references, apart from their own site, don't even mention Mosley Guitars.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 11:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
