AFD[edit]

This article is nominated for deletion. I am open to suggestions and education, so please don't be offended at the deletion. You will note that I did not vote a "keep" or "delete" because I want others opinion and don't want to vote (also keep in mind that AFD's are not a strict vote, but a discussion).

Here's the article with comments:

Smarte Carte, Inc. is an American company that manufactures devices such as lockers, strollers, automated mailing devices, and more. sounds ok, but why is this notable?

Most famously, they are well-known for their baggage carts, hired for a small but nonrefundable or partially refundable fee. They can be found globally at many airports all around the world, and in other settings as well. The company's headquarters are located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Most famously, according to whom? Are they well known? Small fee? Globally at many airports? Really? I thought many airports have free carts except in the USA.

Trivia Smarte Carte is featured in the movie "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks. Are they really? I saw the film and carts are featured but was it this brand? They featured other stores, such as Burger King. However, Burger King is notable for other things, not being in the film. Mrs.EasterBunny 20:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some references were listed in the AFD. Rather than have them lost and buried there, I've added them to the article. Mrs.EasterBunny 22:08, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The company is Australian owned so I've changed the intro from an "American company" to an "American based company". Small change but it improves the accuracy of the article. The more accurate the article the small chance that others will laugh at wikipedia. Mrs.EasterBunny (talk) 16:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
