Non-notable brand of bicycle from a non-notable company. Since it was created by a WP:SPA and it contained promotional material (since cleaned up) the article is essentially spam. It is giving one organisation a commercial advantage over others (an unfortunate artefact of WP:OTHERSTUFF). -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - There is nothing to indicate it passes WP:GNG or WP:CORP. But there could be coverage in Bulgarian that might. I'd be willing to change my vote, if there is. Hoppingalong (talk) 21:25, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If the Bulgarian sources prove to be significant and reliable and have not spilled over into English language sources do they make the topic notable?? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 09:44, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment- That is a good question. WP:N requires Reliable Sources that pass WP:RS. WP:NOENG which is part of WP:V says that Reliable Sources can be non-Enlgish. And Wp:GNG says itself that sources "are not required to be in English." Although, I would be skeptical of a company passing WP:CORP or WP:GNG entirely because of references in one language other than English, yet having absolutely nothing in English, global economy and all. Either way, I do not think we have that case here. Hoppingalong (talk) 04:02, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete - There has been plenty of time and plenty of edits, but none of the provided sources even mentions the bike brand, not even the one in Bulgarian as far as I can tell with the automatic page translation provided by Google Chrome. -AndrewDressel (talk) 14:20, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
