Strong Delete It's a advertising article, which diminishes WP purpose. Fails WP:GNG scope_creep talk 14:23, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Pure spam; almost a candidate for G11 speedy. Absolutely nothing found at Google News Archive. I deleted a couple of spammy external links. --MelanieN (talk) 21:42, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the page can be improved and revised w/ WP:NPOV content. I found a few references for this page that appear to be valid 3rd party sources:

- Your last url says at the bottom "Sponsored by Bob’s Watches" - not a valid source. The Orange County Register is IMHO too local to be used. Dougweller (talk) 05:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually, I agree with the comment below; The Orange County Register is an absolutely legitimate regional Newspaper. It was founded in 1905 & and has won several Pulitzer prizes; the author who took up the subject of Rolex Watches is a career journalist with well-established credentials: http://insideocr.ocregister.com/tag/david-ferrell/

Comment Please review your sources more thoroughly. The OC Register isn't a local paper. It's the 19th largest paper in the country by circulation. They've won a Pulitzer Prize as well. Their mention is definitely notable for their size. Their circulation is 280,000. That's far beyond a "local" paper. I live in a small town with a local paper. The circulation is 10,000. Those numbers make it a local paper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathron (talk • contribs) 16:36, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:POTENTIAL WP:NOTIMELIMIT Rolex is a subject that will always garner interest and have an audience; coupled with the unique platform of this company, I think there's solid reason to keep and/or save this page. Also, a search for valid sources produced this reference [1] Rodesywiki (talk) 23:11, 5 September 2013 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
Comment That's a sales site so irrelevant to notability. Dougweller (talk) 05:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I also agree with keeping this page. Strong points were made above that Rolex is indeed a subject most people will be interested in, and the page can definitely be improved to a point that no one will even consider deletion an option for it. I think deleting this page would be too hasty of a move, especially if it can be fixed up a little more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathron (talk • contribs) 01:43, 6 September 2013 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

Keep I feel that if companies such as Microsoft can have wikipedia pages, then why not smaller companies such as Bob's Watches? MarieMayer (talk) 03:05, 6 September 2013 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

- Because we have criteria for notability at WP:ORG, which starts by saying "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." Everyone !voting here should read it. Dougweller (talk) 05:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment***Because we expect organisation to fulfill the criteria at WP:ORG. Dougweller (talk) 05:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
