Talk:ALLDATA

I see no reason for the deletion of this article as it is a perfectly viable subject to discuss. It IS a commonly used software and I'm very surprised there wasn't an article on this already.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Imzjustplayin (talk • contribs) 14 May 2008

Hi. The problem that drew attention here, I think, is that there is not a clear indication that this company and its software are important or significant. I declined the speedy on the basis that the article indicates the product is commonly used, but it would be quite helpful to bring this into line with the notability guidelines if you could incorporate reliable sources to verify that it is an industry standard or that the company is widely discussed. I'm not very familiar with the automotive industry, but a glance at google news, here, suggests that this should be doable. Thanks for your contribution. :) (P.S. I've "signed" your note for you, but as a typical practice when you write comments on talk pages, please sign your posts with four tildes, which expands into your username and a timestamp.) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Ask ANY auto mechanic and they will mention AllData as THE most known software. - GN —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.152.15 (talk) 10:21, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the world of automotive repair this company is more important than Microsoft. I don't think there is anyone out there that provides OEM repair information to independent shops. The alternative would be to subscribe to data from every manufactor; something few small shops could do. --RobertGary1 (talk) 15:55, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
