Motion Pro, Inc.

Blatant advertising. Not notable. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). I'd nominate for speedy deletion but it's been gathering dust for 16 months without doing any harm so might as well give it a week to see if anyone loves the article.

Keep. Motion Pro is a large enough company that notable sources can be fairly easily found. It certainly needs cleanup and love, though. tedder (talk) 00:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that (although you need to filter out Liquid Motion Pro and Stop Motion Pro software). But I couldn't find any straight news stories about Motion Pro -- only short blurbs in "new & cool product roundup" columns. Were you able to find any stories like this for Aerostich: [1] or book mentions like [2][3][4]? To me Motion Pro, while large, is generic and unremarkable, and neither the business press nor the moto press finds them interesting enough to say much about.--Dbratland (talk) 02:03, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is obvious advertising: Motion Pro produces a line of specialty tools that are designed to facilitate difficult and time-consuming jobs. The company also offers a variety of lightweight tools for use on the trail and on the road. If it's obvious advertising, notability is not an issue. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment having advert content is a surmountable problem. However, I haven't been able to find any "deep" coverage of the company itself to base an article on. tedder (talk) 15:31, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as there aren't any verifiable sources to demonstrate notability, just spam. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 11:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
