[edit] Fisker

New automobile company that hasn't launched any products yet. I found a press release announcing the company's formation, but nothing else. Not notable yet. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 00:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Howcheng has changed his mind after the article was rewritten and more precisely after a NYT article reference was added. For more, see below. --Edcolins 08:05, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and move to Fisker Coachbuild. "Fisker Coachbuild" Returns 32,600 google hits [1]. Not bad. The Fisker Latigo CS was shown at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show. [2]. --Edcolins 18:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as crystal ball. Also non-notable until they produce significantly more than three hundred vehicles total. Saberwyn 02:28, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain. I'm getting sick of the whole notability-as-a-deletion-criteria debate. I believe that there are certain articles that do not belong in an encyclopedia, and this is one of them. Until I can point to a set of criteria that states if my belief is correct or not. I'm abstaining from this debate. Saberwyn 08:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: 300 vehicles is a landmark for any exotic car company. Many don't produce 30, let alone 300, but do manage to create some unique vehicles. I agree it's non-notable for now, but only until they present the car in rolling conditions - that is, one example should be enough. - Pc13 09:52, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. On the other hand, I think the subject matter in the article is verifiable, neither constitute original research nor constitute vanity. There is an ongoing debate as to whether lack of notability is a criterion for deletion. Up to now however, "there is currently no official policy on notability" [3]. I would suggest to carefully consider the existing guidelines before making rush conclusions. IMHO. --Edcolins 08:02, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I was still going to vote delete on this until I saw your changes from today. An NYT article reference changes the whole picture. Keep. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 17:03, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
