The result was keep; simply because it is also a sales location does not negate the other notable properties. - Philippe 16:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mercedes-Benz World

Mercedes-Benz World (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

However much this is rewritten it just serves as an advert for Mercedes and a location in the UK where one may buy the cars. It's a glorified vehicle dealership. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't really care about whether the article gets deleted or not am I am not anyone involved in created in article. However I feel I should put something right! MBW is not a car dealership, it's more a museum with old and new cars shown, with other chances for visitors to interact with, like driving cars for themselves. More a a family day out than a car showroom. -- Arriva436^shout! 15:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

If it is not a car dealership, why is it chock full of car salesmen? Why is there a huge car park labelled "Sales Car park" reserved for the sales team? The duck test says it is a dealership, and a rather grandiose one. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I meant that is isn't just a car showroom, the is more other stuff. Last time I was there, there was a line of cars for sale along a wall no one really noticed, insignificant to the majority of visitors who were looking at people driving on the track. In fact, no one was looking at these cars that were for sale. The other areas are away from where people go. -- Arriva436^talk 20:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Keep - I agree the article currently comes off as an advertisement, but that can be improved. It has tons of hits on google, and their were plenty of google news hits as well regarding it's opening. I think it meets wp:note, but just needs improvement. Gwynand (talk) 16:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, although it does need independent sourcing that's easily come by (more's the pity it's so well footnoted but not to reliable sources). It is also misleading in that there are three facilities -- Brooklands, Surrey, and Stuttgart. --Dhartung | Talk 19:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, advert. Stifle (talk) 23:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. I have decided that while the article does currently sound like an advert, but it can of course be improved. It just takes an experience editor to do it. -- Arriva436^talk 20:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep It is quite clearly more than just a car dealership. It is also quite clearly covered in secondary sources. If it is an advert, then we must delete legoland too. MickMacNee (talk) 23:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
