To-do list:



 Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

notability

The AGV Sports Group article only explains the history of the company (founded 1985 in US) and the unique intellectual property issues due to it's historical relationship with AGV Helmets (founded 1947 in Italy) and gives details about the history and development of this brand name. No current product, marketing or sales information is present in this article. There is a historical list of some of the professional motorcycle racers who have been sponsored by AGV Sports Group over the past 25 years. On Misplaced Pages one can find a lot of similar articles about companies for example - Yamaha, Suzuki or Toyota — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndyRoberts 86 (talk • contribs)

I'm deferring deletion, as reviewing administrator. I think the company is important, and there's material for anarticle here. But pleae
  1. read our Business FAQ
  2. add 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases, or material based on press releases)
  3. make sure all material here meets WP:COPYRIGHT
or the article may not really meet our standards. I'd advise you to make these improvements very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion. We judge each article on its own merit--we are not a directory DGG (talk) 08:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I did what I could to clean it up. I think it'll remain notable, but there's a lot of advertising and an IP with a fairly clear COI. tedder (talk) 23:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

spam, advert, link cleanup

I removed a bunch of links and re-added maintenance templates. See the WP:EL policy; I don't see the significance of (a) a link to a non-reliable source site that shows the company logo, (b) links to other companies' websites (such as AGV, the italian manufacturer. This article is still in need of reliable sources to prove notability, and tendentious editing doesn't help. The fact tags on the founding information can easily go away when reliable sources are found to back up the claims. I initially added them because the more advert-ish version of the article had two different founding dates. tedder (talk) 22:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
