This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was KEEP: 6k, 2d. 2cleanup are not votes to delete, and were cast before the cleanup so are probably votes to keep (8k, 2d). I didn't count them here to avoid misappropriating them. -Splash 02:41, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dinan BMW

Delete - Reads like an advertisement. No assertion of notability or anything else of encyclopedic value. Rlandmann 7 July 2005 00:40 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable business. Tobycat 7 July 2005 02:56 (UTC)
• Delete: Long spam. Would the next person to visit the article please nowiki the link, so they don't benefit from the time on VfD? Geogre 7 July 2005 03:15 (UTC)

Cleanup. The article had been written as such an obvious ad that I didn't spot that this was an aftermarket supplier. Geogre 7 July 2005 12:46 (UTC)

• Cleanup notable company with 10,000+ hits on Google as "Dinan BMW". Their after-market parts seem to be widely used, and thus notable. Article as stands is hopelessly POV and an ad, however and I have too many lost sheep on the burner right now. -Harmil 7 July 2005 03:51 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup Highly notable designer and manufacturer of aftermarket BMW performance parts, and builder of race engines for two Grand-Am Daytona Prototype teams. --FCYTravis 7 July 2005 08:27 (UTC)

Thanks buckets for the stubification / cleanup, but aren't articles that are being VfDed not supposed to be moved until voting is over? I know I've held off on a couple of worthy renames until a VfD was over for exactly that reason. -Harmil 7 July 2005 11:10 (UTC)

If that's so, I wasn't aware of it. My apologies. I figured the move and redirect would leave enough in place to let people know it's the same article originally VFD'd. --FCYTravis 7 July 2005 11:39 (UTC)

• • I tried to turn it into something resembling a usable stub. --FCYTravis 7 July 2005 08:58 (UTC)
• Keep as per FCYTravis. Martpol 7 July 2005 09:19 (UTC)
• Keep FCY Travis's stub. Capitalistroadster 7 July 2005 10:14 (UTC)
• Keep and give FCY Travis a million wiki-dollars. Or some ice cream. --Scimitar 7 July 2005 13:29 (UTC)
• Keep: Good work on cleanup. —ArmadniGeneral 7 July 2005 17:42 (UTC)
• Keep Notable Aftermarket supplier. Klonimus 8 July 2005 09:01 (UTC)
