Harley Davidson Orange[edit]

No notability. No verifiability. No reliable sources. Article is 100% speculation and original research. No support (of any quality or veracity) for assertions, including assertion that the colour "Harley Davidson Orange" exists per se. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 03:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The term does seem to be fairly common among H-D fans, but I can't find any reliable sources pertaining to the particular color, its cultural impact, or anything else that should be verifiable about a "specialty" color.

Delete. If Harley Davidson specifies a particular shade of orange as theirs (as many sports teams do for their colors, etc.), then that may deserve mention in the company's article. But the color itself, unless there is substantial coverage of the color and its signifigance, is not notable enough to be the subject of its own article.

Delete. The values shown on the page are original research. And I agree with the above comment, if any of this is notable it should go in the Harley Davidson article and not as it's own article. PaleAqua (talk) 04:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - the last sentene is WP:OR; the opening is word-for-word palgarism from [1]. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, take a closer look at the answers.com page — its content is drawn from the Wikipedia article we're presently talking about deleting. This is a pretty common phenomenon, Wikipedia content copied and tossed onto other "answers" type pages. It's one of the reasons AfD is so important: we can't stop the promulgation of bad info, but we can help reduce it. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 05:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, OR. A little perusal of sources indicates that something called "Aztec Orange Pearl" is a commonly specified color for Harleys. Dunno if that's a custom blend or just marketing language for something else. Some Harleys come in other colors like "Candy Orange" or even no orange at all. --Dhartung | Talk 06:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:OR. I would have thought that if HD actually created their own shade of orange then there would be a lot more information about it on the Net. Although I will say that seeing the name on a colour chart is fairly hilarious. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 03:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
