Does not pass WP:N, WP:RS. All dead links or sources which do not support the content (three-wheelers are mentioned, I don't see anything relating to Ladas). Smells somewhat hoaxy. Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:15, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: the company's putative address appears to actually be a grocery store. Agree it looks pretty hoaxy. — Moriwen (talk) 15:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The corresponding German article de:Bognor (Unternehmen) includes some references that may be helpful. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eastmain: - thanks, that one is much better sourced. However, the sources indicate that Bognor is a small enterprise which armors cars for the local market. That does not meet WP:N in my estimation. Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:38, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As a parts manufacturer for the automotive industry, it does not seem notable enough. --149.172.122.230 (talk) 10:32, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment FWIW, Bognor had a webpage 17 years ago which makes tantalizing references to the "Diva". Not an RS, but interesting, perhaps. The old homepage is just as informative. Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:51, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
