- The conflict-of-interest issues aren't grounds for deleting the article and can be fixed once the article has been kept. I added information about a lawsuit against the company under "Litigation". --Eastmain (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but I still have a serious problem with a company editing its own article and now creating multiple accounts to add to the article or influence an AFD outcome. Additionally, I don't know if I'd classify any of those articles as non-trivial, except perhaps the F&I one. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 20:29, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Sufficient references to establish notability. The actual facts of the business were enough to imply it in any case. DGG (talk) 07:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
