The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Additional sources have been found during the AfD and there was no consensus for deletion. However, there are still significant unsourced claims and inline cites are needed to avoid a further challenge, at least to some of the content. TerriersFan (talk) 02:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] American Specialty Cars

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

No notability, nearly pure original research and promotion; most text lifted from company's own promotional website —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 23:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

The company seems significant enough to merit an article, though parts of it likely need to be deleted or rewritten. IFCAR (talk) 17:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
The company is well known and significant among the custom car industry; if the article is broken, somebody ought to fix it instead of abolishing it. Gzuckier (talk) 17:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep and clean up as necessary. Company is covered significantly in reliable sources such as here and here establishing notability, there is further sources available in a google news search here. AFD is not for cleanup and can be rewritten as necessary. Davewild (talk) 17:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Regardless of the outcome of this AfD, the article currently has major copyvio problems that need instant attention. See here (the list of cars has identical text). --Jaysweet (talk) 19:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
    Nevermind, I took care of it myself. Shame someone had gone to the trouble of wikifying a lot of that text already... oh well. --Jaysweet (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Scheinwerfermann --PlasmaTwa2 22:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article may need fleshing out, but the company is significant enough to warrant its own article. SimonX (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
