[edit] MasterCraft

MasterCraft (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This article was prodded with the explanation "Notability not established, although requested since June 2006." I found the prod and removed it because I suspect that this company is notable (I have seen their boats). I abstain from this one. N Shar 02:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. Per the company Web site, "MasterCraft is by far the largest producer of inboard ski, wakeboard and luxury performance powerboats in the world. It sells boats in 25 different countries and has over 100 domestic and international dealers." It's the official tow boat for the IWSF Water Ski and Wakeboard World Cup and seems to be, judging by a quick search, the boat of choice for competitive water skiers.

• Obvious, Strong Keep and expand. Clearly notable, as I noted when I de-prodded it yesterday, before it was immediately and improperly re-prodded... The article needs much cleanup, yes, but it's clearly worth having an article on. Georgewilliamherbert 04:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per my comments in the article talk page. Notable company. Needs cleanup. -- Ben (talk) 04:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand Well known and notable company, though I have never owned a boat I know of the company. EnsRedShirt 05:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. MasterCraft is huge in the North America recreational boating industry, absolutely notable enough for Wikipedia. Someone will get around to expanding this eventually, I'm sure. -/- Warren 05:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• KeepGet off your lazy ass and go to you local Canadian Tire and buy some tools to fix up your house which is probably falling appart because you can't get away from wikipedia. Yes! Every minute in you life is actually timed by looking at those swivelly signatures of yours, which happens to contain your local time. Your life biography... but you got a pee... oh just one more click... just one more afd... Oh! Wait... You mean MasterCraft the place that makes boats. Oh! Sorry. Never heard of them... meuh! indifferent. delete or keep. --CyclePat 05:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, but Expand: My current task is to expand the article Mastercraft, since Mastercraft boats are great. I do think this article can be a major piece of Wikipedia if it is expanded and has more information than just a sentence. So, tell me if you feel as if you do not want me to try to make Mastercraft a better article (I don't see why not, but yeah...) Chickyfuzz123 06:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It does have an international presence - the non-English ghits is evidence; and they are well known in 'auxiliary'/related activities (water skiing, fishing, etc.). SkierRMH,08:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep needs a rewrite though ~ Joe Jklin (T C) 21:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
