This company is not notable. Completely sourced with the company's webpage. [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=%22Microlight%20Aviation%22%20%2BIndia&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn Google News finds nothing], and [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Microlight+Aviation%22+%2BIndia&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= "Microlight Aviation" +India on Google] gets mainly marketing pages with only 484 hits. Also, it reads like a corporate portal and, apparently, has COI issues. Evb-wiki (talk) 17:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete - I have been unable to source any references for this article beyond the company's own website, despite an extensive search, so cannot establish notability. - Ahunt (talk) 17:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete No real indication of notability is given here. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 20:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - no coverage in reliable sources -- Whpq (talk) 15:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
  • NOTE - two sources that seem to establish notability have now been added to the article. - Ahunt (talk) 21:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Those new refs don't mention Microlight Aviation, and they do not support the new claim that the company was previously West Wind Aviation and Services. See Talk:Microlight_Aviation#West_Wind. --Evb-wiki (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Also, note that the company's own [http://microlight.in/ website] states that "To begin with, the company shall manufacture an ultra-modern microlight, the Vampire - MKI and the Super Genie Autogyro, both of which are slated to hit the market by May 2009." Any claim of notability is crystal balling. --Evb-wiki (talk) 22:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I agree - the company only seems to have received any press at all for promising to do something in the future and the press coverage, sparse as it is, doesn't link the two companies together. The only reference that links the two companies is [http://microlight.in/index_files/news.html its own website]. - Ahunt (talk) 02:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
