Orphaned, no cats, NN. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 13:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- --Rrburke^(talk) 13:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - as nominator. Definitely not notable. An article on car discounts for Ford employees? Come on. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 14:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment — it's pretty common for a new article to have no categories and to be orphaned. These are not reasons for deletion. Perhaps after some time an orphaned article might be deleted, but really after only a week? Rich257 13:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment -- I agree with Rich, however this article doesn't appear to meet notability guidelines. Then again, the article hasn't been given enough time to prove that it has potential.Darkcraft 14:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Yes, after a week of no improvement, no sources, no references and also being orphaned and no cats wasn't the only reason.. there's also the notability aspect. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 14:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete WITH FULL FORCE Wikipedia does not bend to corporate interests. How is this more notable than other such purchasing initiatives? Ichormosquito 17:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I live in a GM town and have an uncle who worked in Detroit for each of the Big Three. Every manufacturer has something like this and the terms change on a regular basis as they try to clear inventory, etc. They all work pretty much the same way, though. Nothing notable here. It was notable when after 9/11 a couple of the plans were extended to the general public, purportedly on the same terms, but even that is hardly worth an article. --Dhartung | Talk 20:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• The only possible plan is delete non-notable info about spam, no other way to describe this article.--Victor falk 22:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Unencyclopedic article. Keb25 00:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable discount scheme for Ford workers.--Gavin Collins 07:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, though relatively weakly. The existence of these programmes generally might support an article, though, and the existence of car-maker incentives are fairly widely known, but individual manufacturer's programs probably do not rate. The curent title is baldly unsatisfactory and ambiguous in English. Note also that our incentive program article is in a pitiful state, and rather spammy. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
