"All Boardman bikes purchased online will be delivered fully built to the purchaser's home or place of work, assembled and PDI'd (pre-delivery inspection) by a fully trained Boardman mechanic. The bike will only require the minimum amount of setting up - handlebars straightening and tightening and the pedals fitting (if supplied) on delivery. All home & work delivery bikes come with a FREE 6 week safety check.[4]"

This is *not* encyclopedic and the entire article reads like the company spiel it actually is. It is not vandalism to remove this kind of content.

The article does not need deleting since the objectionable passage has been removed. It is well referenced and is about a notable bicycle manufacturer. Racklever (talk) 12:18, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
There's nothing a bit of cleanup and editing can't fix. The referencing was shaky (references from the company website can't be considered reliable) and some of the prose unencyclopaedic but these can be fixed. The company is notable (if this is in dispute by all means take it to WP:AFD) so there's no need for deletion. SeveroTC 12:38, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
