Nothing notable here, Not supported by indpendent sources, the only reference which isn't a dead link or useless is the used car dealership's own page, the archive of the previous afd discussion is questionable & cites only one reference which is still active, and this is trivial fluff, not even thinly veiled self promotion Boogerpatrol (talk) 02:17, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 February 2. Snotbot t • c » 02:53, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The Washington Examiner's current website still has one of the dead links mentioned in the previous AfD as establishing notability, just at a different URL. RossPatterson (talk) 03:02, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Ross I've added your reference to the article, thanks! Boogerpatrol (talk) 04:15, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I can't find significant independent coverage that would support a claim to notability within WP:CORP. I am very surprised this was kept at the first nomination for deletion. ---- nonsense ferret 20:16, 2 February 2013 (UTC) From the references provided it looks like pretty localised promotional mentions and one of the articles is mentioning the founder rather than the dealership. ---- nonsense ferret 20:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The Washington Examiner source establishes notability of the CEO specifically, not so much for the overall business. The Free Lance Star reference mentions the company in passing but the focus of the article is primarly the women who received the car. Not finding much else to help establish notability. No indication that this is much more than a run-of-the-mill car dealer. RadioFan (talk) 13:28, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
