[edit] First Camp

First Camp (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Apparently this company is notable at first sight so speedy was declined but other than some information on the company being purchased and hiring decisions, I find a lot of false positives, directory listings and no evidence this meets WP:CORP. Wikipedia is not a travel guide and there's no evidence that this company actually 'transforms' anything. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 15:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment as declining admin - 82,000 Ghits on Swedish-language Google, with few false positives. The cited refs are non-trivial coverage. WikiTravel:Sweden#Sleep reckons it's "the leading chain" in Sweden. --ROGER DAVIES talk 19:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Reply, the cited refs are buying and selling of the company and administrative hirings. Nothing that establishes the notability. Wikitravel's claim's citation is the company's website, hardly notable or independent. It's aiming to grow by 2011, but I don't see any evidence it's notable at the moment, but we'll see where this goes. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 19:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • It's the fact that acquisitions, takeovers, and hirings are being reported that establishes notability, in my view. I, too, will be interested to see where this goes, as it doesn't seem open and shut :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 19:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

  • comment Speedies are declined not for being "notable at first sight" but for having any evidence or indication or assertion of notability. Its the ones that are clearly NOT notable as judged even at first sight that should be tagged for speedy. DGG (talk) 22:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. It seems to be well-referenced in several travel sites and the like. If there's someone who can read the native tongue, I'd very much like to know what camping.se, the official site for such things in the country, has to say about the matter. Cel Talk to me 02:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep — I imagine that it easily meets WP:CORP; not being a speaker of Swedish, I cannot check easily. EJF (talk) 15:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - Per the references that already exist in the article. They are reliable. Wisdom89 (T / C) 15:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
