I believe that this article exists partly to promote a website. The article does not provide much context for what it is attempting to describe. It also appears to function partly as a guide. Richard Cavell (talk) 11:23, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete - Spam is great in a Korean barbecue, nasty in Wikipedia. Thanks! --Cerejota (talk) 11:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - It certainly isn't G11, but this article exists as an information "pamphlet" to advise of some changes within the DVLA. Fails WP:NOTGUIDE. PeterSymonds (talk) 11:46, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Even if this was put in context, etc., it's still in the category of a how-to. --Lockley (talk) 15:45, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete per lack of verifiability and that this is not a hot-to guide. MuZemike (talk) 17:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete - looks like a copyvio from ezinearticles.com/?Personal-Number-Plate-Retention-Scheme---Important-Changes-Coming&id=1689354 (not linked because site is spam blacklisted) to me. JulesH (talk) 00:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete - advertising/how-to guide, both of which are unsuitable for an article. In fact, I can't actually tell what this article is trying to say. gm_matthew (talk) 22:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
