Notability

edit

I added a note about how many stores VW has throughout the US. Since there are a lot of stores and it's a pretty recognized brand I do think it's notable, I'm not sure what else to add to make that clear though, without making this an advertisement. I'll see if there's any other noteworthy info, other suggestions are welcome. PPride 15:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

We need secondary sources. --Ronz 19:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
hmm this is the only link I could quickly find that discusses how many stores VW has [1]. It's outdated though, I'm pretty sure there are about 470 right now. But since this link is the only external source available (so far), would it be useful? PPride 12:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Here we go this is much better but it's more convoluted [2] -- exactly 473 stores open at the end of dec 31 2006. I'd use the 2nd one, do you agree? PPride 12:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Let's back up a bit if you don't mind. Notability is demonstrated "if it has received significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic." (from Wp:n#The_notability_criterion). --Ronz 14:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

ah I see, Ok well if there's not enough info that fits that criteria then such is life. I'll keep an eye out for independent mentions of VW and I'll bring them up here when I find them. I'd like to see if anyone else besides me thinks of anything to add as well PPride 18:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
The company is big enough that there should be some sources we can use to demonstrate notability, it's just a matter of finding them. I've done a few google searches and I get overwhelmed with all the press releases and promotions. --Ronz 18:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
