- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was Delete. This was probably going to lead to deletion anyway, especially since the only defence of the article here is an ad hominem attack on the nominator. However, any doubt disappears when it is realised that the article was created by a blocked editor in violation of a block.

Fails WP:ORG. This club has not been the subject of any significant coverage. There's about a dozen or so routine announcements of charity events and so on, but per WP:ROUTINE, these don't establish notability. Ultimate Harley-Davidson is only a mention in the Acknowledgements for one club member who helped the author. Business Travel: Conferences, Incentive Travel a routine directory listing. You can find a couple other such listings at Google Books: [1] [2]. At Highbeam you can find a few more mentions of social events:
- BIKERS ZOOM IN FOR KIDS' VISIT. Birmingham Mail (England) August 2, 2010.
- Trust's wacky racers make a final UK stop. Dover Express, October 6, 2011
- Bikers Invade Butlins for Big Birthday Bash. The News Letter (Belfast, Northern Ireland) February 1, 2003
Routine announcements of local events that don't tell us anything about the club itself; the same coverage is given to thousands of knitting clubs or car clubs around the world. The only sources of actual facts to base an article on is the clubs own press releases. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 20:10, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
- Weak delete I was going to let this slide when I saw the new article on 17 January, but the AfD brought it into stronger focus that the references are pretty weak. - Brianhe ( talk) 00:42, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

- This is a merely part of a person dispute and a personally motivated attack on myself by Dennis as I challenged his POV pushing on other topics. -- Salty Batter ( talk) 00:19, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
