Spammy/promotional article about non-notable company. Biker Biker (talk) 06:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Non-notable is definitely not true in this case. The article is a bit over the top and could use more references but AUTOart is definitely a big player in the diecast car world. Visit any decent hobby store that sells car models over $100 and you will see a string of AUTOart models - at least that has been my experience in Australia, Hong Kong and the UK.

- Keep. AUTOart is an influential and controversial company that needs to be included in Wikipedia. There are many other articles on toys and miniatures that are less influential than AUTOart. Most are well-written and toy and miniature aficionados would not want them deleted. Who is to say that model car companies are 'non-notable'? The user Biker Biker apparently. Also the article is not very promotional as it deals with rough waters that the company has gone through and criticisms of the company. Thus, the request for deletion is not at all well defined.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 03:28, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
