[edit] Allen Cars

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

I can find absolutely no sources for this 'company', with the pages that are linked as the company websites, not existing. I'd suspect this is a hoax. Google search only returns the Wikipedia page listed here. Listing for AFD so consensus can be found before deletion. Rudget 17:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete There are various inconsistencies in this article which indicate that it may be made up. The fact that none of the external links work certainly counts against it. Even if (pace Kurt Weber) the company exists, I don't see how we could ever satisfy WP:V in writing an article about it. SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 17:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete G3 Appears to be nothing but a WP:HOAX given the holes in the info. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
    I don't think that the article is a "blatant and obvious hoax", so I removed the speedy. Though I do think it is a hoax and should be deleted. Jon513 (talk) 18:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete It's a G3. I endorse the speedy tag. It should not be removed. This is a WP:HOAX and not even a good one.--Pmedema (talk) 19:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Notice the logo is the generic "A" icon from multiple cleanup templates (e.g. {{copyedit}}), and none of the ELs work. Creator appears to be in good standing; wish they'd come here and elaborate. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 20:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. So, Mr. Giannopoulos ran this company for negative-30 years (from 1989 to 1959)? You'll have to excuse me for being dubious. Zetawoof(ζ) 21:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, but not speedy. I can overlook the inconsistencies as typos, but absolutely nothing in the article can be verified in a gsearch. A modern company with 100+ employees should be getting so me kind of hit if it's at all notable. (note: because this needs a gsearch at all to be seen as a hoax tells me this isn't eligible for speedy deletion.)--Fabrictramp (talk) 16:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
