The Travel Scientists

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not enough independent coverage of the company to satisfy WP:GNG. PROD turned down. An event organized by the company, Indian Autorickshaw Challenge, MIGHT satisfy GNG, but that grants notability to the event, not the company (notability is not inherited). The only major independent reliable source was an angry press release by the government of Azerbaijan, but that's hardly "in depth" coverage and should not really count. Basically, very little can be said about the company that can not be included under the Rikshaw Challenge page.

Selective Merge to Indian Autorickshaw Challenge, which presently has no mention of The Travel Scientists or its involvement in the event. This will improve the merge target article per WP:PRESERVE. Several source searches did not provide enough coverage to qualify a standalone article about the company. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contesting deletion Thank you for reviewing my very first Wikipedia page. While the suggestion to merge it with Indian Autorickshaw Challenge is logical, another reason why I believe it deserves its own namespace is because of other rallies known throughout Europe that it organizes: for example, The Baltic Run and other well-known events in addition to the Indian Autorickshaw Challenge. This is similar to a page Mongol Rally (unrelated to The Travel Scientists). — Preceding unsigned comment added by WordCowboy (talk • contribs) 10:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect as this is not independently notable and can be mentioned briefly there. SwisterTwister talk 22:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect. Their events may be notable, the company itself seems to fail WP:NCOMPANY. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:35, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
