“

No inherited notability

An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it. If the organization itself did not receive notice, then the organization is not notable. For example, if a notable person buys a restaurant, the restaurant does not "inherit" notability from its owner.

Jim Hall Kart Racing School is notable, it is the biggest most used karting school in the US. Sign My Guestbook!·Sumsum2010·Talk 16:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please list the reliable sources that back up that statement, as I can't find any. Codf1977 (talk) 19:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did find one, not the same phrasing but it still implies notability, [1],pg 85(Longest running facility)Sign My Guestbook!·Sumsum2010·Talk 20:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not what you might call a serious publication, what with the overview saying "An entertaining collection of 101 quintessential places, people, events, customs, lingo, and eats that help define the personality of the Golden State."; however IMO not enough to demonstrate notability as set out in the general notability guidelines. Codf1977 (talk) 08:16, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since the claim to notability of this company is based on the notability of some of the past customers - Do you have non-primary sources for this list ? Codf1977 (talk) 08:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What makes professional schools notable in the RW, ultimately, is that they have a substantial number of significant graduates--that's their basic reason for existence. But in this subject, I am unable to judge if the specifics here are actually sufficient. DGG ( talk ) 05:18, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
comment with regard to A7 vs WP:ORG, if there's a possibility of notability, then A7 is not appropriate. Having had a significant number of notable graduates/participants means that there's a possibility of notability, though not a guarantee. Hence my decline of speedy and elevation for discussion. - UtherSRG (talk) 07:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete - this article is an obvious advertisement for a non-notable business. No reliable, secondary sources discuss this business in any detail. Miserably fails all aspects of WP:CORP. SnottyWong talk 23:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
