:you put a speedy deletion tag on this article. there are dozens of auto dealerships on WP (see Category:Auto_dealerships), and they are there without a problem. 
 :See WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. And thanks for letting me know about those, I'll clean that out when I get the chance. 

 In this case, there is ample explanation for notability in the article, including the extensive reference in the article to unusual public service outreach and the owner is a public figure. 

 :The owner may be a public figure, but a car dealership he owns? Uh uh, at least not simply because he owns it. Hosting a public reading or two doesn't come even close to encyclopedic notability for the business. 

 ...meantime, I intend to remove the tag 

 :And I will put it back: as the creator of the said article, you don't get to judge that, as the notice on the tag plainly states. Some third-party  an admin on deletion duty  will render that judgment. I might even replace the tag with a  tag, which seems even more appropriate.  |
