[edit] Section with external links
I have removed the section. The links meant to advertise the companies, and it is non-encyclopeadic to have a link to every single distributor. Moreover, the internal links were all redlinks. The appropriate policies and guidelines here are: WP:NOT, WP:SPAM and WP:EL. Thank you, and have a good day. --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD?
When I find the time (and if I remember), I'm probably going to nominate this article for deletion as non-notable and an advertisement. Are there any reasons I shouldn't do so? --ElKevbo 03:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- No more or less reason than to do the same with Bike_Friday, or Moulton_Bicycle. The article is certainly notable to those who wish to know more about folding bicycles, and it is non-notable to those who don't; in that respect, it resembles thousands of others on Wikipedia. Apart from listing the reasons why you might want to buy one, the article also does a reasonable job of presenting the disadvantages, so it's difficult to argue that it's an advertisement. --Stephen Burnett 08:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- It is your right to nominate for AfD if you wish but I would vote "keep". There are bound to be reviews in main stream journals and cycle magazines of a bike this well known but they are just tricky to google because of the million blog discussions.

[edit] AfD?
I made significant contributions to this page (wrote most of the core text) and have no financial ties to any party associated with the manufacure, distribution, or sales of this bicycle. I feel it represents a balanced view of this bicycle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.84.215.134 (talk) 16:02, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
