Stradalli Cycle

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is the most unnecessary and blatant article I've ever come across on Wikipedia, clearly designed for marketing purposes as it even appears in the footer of this business's website - see [1]. If one were to View History [2], it appears others have opposed and tried to delete the article without, however, following the Deletion Policy steps? I hope I have done this right... Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to:

poorly written and of no encyclopedic value
clear self promotion, advertising/marketing intent (see comment above about business' website) - Wikipedia:G11#G11
little significance and little notoriety (just one of many small scale bicycle businesses who these days buy SE Asian carbon frames and slap their branding on them) - Wikipedia:A7#A7
vast amount of red links indicative of lack of notoriety for associated content

Delete The promotional material could be removed, but that would leave us with zero. I found numerous discussions on bicycling boards, but nothing in published sources - which seems odd because the chatter on the boards was lively, both pro and con. The article itself only cites press releases. Perhaps someone knows of good sources for reliable bicycling sources. I'll check back. LaMona (talk) 01:18, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
