Atlas Honda

Promotional article for a non-notable company. What little secondary coverage there is is trivial (About one sentence worth in these [1] [2]), with this being what seems to be the only in-depth coverage Pishcal (talk) 15:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reject Deletion

Huh? If you're going to put this article up for deletion, might as well delete the several thousand other articles on small auto companies. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't it the company doesn't exist. This company happens to be the largest motorcycle producer in Pakistan. I absolutely REJECT any deletion. Absolute nonsense...this wasn't a candidate for deletion before I edited it (when the article was a complete mess). Now that I've edited it to some decent quality, it's up for deletion?

Just because other stuff exists does not mean that this article does not meet the criteria for deletion. I'm not saying that it doesn't exist because I haven't heard of it, I'm saying that it isn't notable because of the lack of significant secondary sources. If you have sources to prove notability then please provide them. Also please remember to avoid personal attacks. Pishcal (talk) 13:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 'Largest motorcycle manufacturer in Pakistan' establishes notability. Sources are provided thus keep and improve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfarazbaig (talk • contribs) 19:23, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No organization is inherently notable. What does establish notability for companies is being the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources, which I don't believe the company has. You've given essentially one article talking about the company, but there isn't much more. As a reminder, don't forget to sign your talk pages messages with four tildes (~), which will automatically generate your signature. Thanks, Pishcal (talk) 19:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Obviously a highly notable manufacturer of motorcycles and Honda subsidiary, as proven by coverage of several sources. Satisfies WP:GNG. Mar4d (talk) 11:15, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A link to a google news search is hardly evidence of coverage: I'd appreciate if you could specifically point to reliable sources that demonstrate significant coverage: reading most of the articles found in the google news search, the coverage seems mostly trivial - just passing mentions.

Keep -- "largest manufacturer" is a sufficient claim to notability; the company is WP:LISTED as well. The article is not terribly promotional at this stage; I removed self-citations. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:22, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The article has improved a bit, and I think meets notability for corporations given its status in the national motorcycle industry. Smmurphy^(Talk) 00:55, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:COMPANY and WP:GNG.CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 20:04, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
