[edit] Bell Performance

Bell Performance (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No reliable sources can be found for "Bell Performance", "Bell Additives", or "R.J. Bell". Non-notable company. Sasha Callahan 06:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment from nominator, this could be the longest I've seen an article on AFD. SashaCall ^(Sign!)/_(Talk!) 22:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete in the absence of reliable sources that prove notabitiy. --Oxymoron⁸³ 07:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Using Newsbank, I found a 1,210-word article about Bell from The Orlando Sentinel. (Robin Foster. "STEERING TOWARD A NEW MARKET - BELL LABORATORY HOPES TO ADD CUSTOMERS WITH RETAIL VERSION OF - GAS ADDITIVE". 30 June 1986. page 25). The company is also mentioned in several newspaper car advice columns. I'd be surprised if there isn't more info available somewhere, especially considering that Mix-I-Go has been around since the 1920s. Zagalejo^^^ 07:24, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Well, there's this. Seems like Mix-I-Go was connected to a pyramid scheme. Zagalejo^^^ 08:31, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete No reliable sources to prove why the company/product is notable. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 18:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. It irks me that reliable sources can't be found because this company was the first to use fuel additives. But then again...who writes about fuel additives? Smashville 19:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to lack of reliable sources --RaiderAspect 12:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete pending discovery of sources establishing notability. If the only independent sources are local media, that doesn't look likely. Sheffield Steel^talk_stalk 20:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- Gavin Collins 22:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as a non-notable corp. Being mentioned in passing does not represent grounds for notability. --Nehwyn 17:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
