Routes car rental

Blatant advertisement. Wolf530 (talk · contribs)

• Delete. Advertising. Harro5 00:21, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Question. I'm puzzled. This may have been intended as advertising (I can't read the mind of the author), but if so I see nothing blatant about the advertising, even in the version immediately previous to Wolf530's addition of a VfD tag. It could be that the company is insignificant, but that's a different issue (or arguably a non-issue). Where's the blatant advertising? -- Hoary 00:32, 2005 May 21 (UTC)

Perhaps blatant is too strong a word. But considering the tone of the article touting the company's "rapid growth" and then the inclusion of the website URL, seems to me like the company has little need for an encyclopedia article at this present stage unless someone can provide us some information that makes this company unique enough to be listed on Wikipedia. --Wolf530 00:56, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

• This isn't a blatant advertisement in my book at this stage. However, as the company's website shows that it has 23 locations in Ontario and none outside, I doubt that it is sufficiently notable to warrant retention. Unless there is some evidence of notability added to the article, I vote to Delete.Capitalistroadster 00:45, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, advert. Megan1967 02:18, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm never going to rent a car from them. I rent only from notable companies that have plenty of outlets in my area. So there. C W Merchant 00:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable, and sure looks like an ad. DES 16:29, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Doesnt seem like an advert to me, should maybe be expanded a bit. Does Hertz have an entry? --Alphachimp 02:19, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Hertz and "Routes" are hardly comparable. --Wolf530 06:50, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
