• Keep. Not exactly my area of expertise and I do agree that the article could use some sources but I don't really see the spam aspect. There are some weasel words and the link to a retailer (which I've just removed) is probably inappropriate as well but I don't see anything other than that. The company also appears to be a major manufacturer of paintball equipment and one might say that the patent issue only adds to their notability. On top of that, we're talking about an article that has been around for almost two years. -- Seed 2.0 16:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Smart Parts is currently one of the leading manufacturers of paintball equipment, virtually a household name (in paintball households). At its peak, the patent dispute was huge news in the paintball scene, which makes it extremely notable. Any spam content can be edited out. --Donutmonger 07:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Smart Parts is known around the world to be one of the largest paintball suppliers. It offers some of the best paintball markers around; including the Ion marker. If you delete Smart Parts you may also want to delete Tippmann - who is also side by side in high quality markers with great prices. PLEASE KEEP SMART PARTS! Thanks, SmartPartsPros.com your contributor of the Smart Parts page. --User:Wikipaint 15 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Smart Parts deserves an article as much as any other well known (in a specific field) company. The article probably does need some references though, especially about the - very interesting - patent issue. Chandon 03:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
