Hanson clarinets

[edit]

Spammy article that fails WP:CORP. Article is unverifiable, with about 59 unique ghits and zero third-party reliable coverage. MER-C 09:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article clearly fails WP:CORP. This company has not been the subject of coverage in any secondary sources which are reliable in nature. Moreover, it is difficult to verify the contents of this article, which is a very important policy of this project as well. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 10:13, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We're being too hasty with a new article. If the article's claim is true that Hanson is the largest woodwind manufacturer in the UK that's moderately notable. I could only find a few thousand google hits ([1] [2] [3]) and didn't quickly find significant independent coverage. However, it's obvious that it's a real company and that lots of people own these clarinets, saxophones, etc. It's likely that classical instrument manufactuers are along with other classical music subjects, a field with more notability than newspaper/Internet coverage. It would be a little perverse that a company sits so long on "articles to be created" (Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2006-06-23#Hanson Clarinet Company) then as soon as it does it's on AFD.Wikidemo 13:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
