Talk:Motorcycle taxi

Links to Stockholm motorcycle taxi

I can't find any independent media coverage of Mc-Taxi i Stockholm. It looks to me like this addition is advertising for a non-notable company. In addition, as explained in Wikipedia:External links, links to non-English websites are not preferred. To me this does not look like a case where this website adds information that is useful other than advertising for the tourist trade.--Dbratland (talk) 16:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I hope I'm doing the right thing by typing here to respond, otherwise tell me how to make a proper response.

I don't see the problem apart from maybe the non-english website. What could NOT be interesting about what has happened in the motorcycle Taxi scene in sweden? Even though it would be a small company? In the England section there is a lot of named companies and just info about that they have motorcycle taxis. Why would this not be "advertisment?"

quoute: "Chauffeur Bikes taxi is a motorcycle taxi service licensed and based in Kent. The luggage rack means a cabin-sized suitcase can be taken on the back for convenient trips to local airports, especially Stansted, Gatwick and City. Also in Stoke on Trent (Staffordshire)there is City Cabs 2000 who also run a motorcycle taxi. All equipment is provided for the passenger along with an intercom system linking the rider and passenger."

How is this not considered advertisment? And are only BIG companies allowed that kind of "advertising", and a small one not? Is all information about companies in a specific subjevt advertisment?

I'm very new to editing in wikipedia, but are you some sort of administrator? What makes you able to decide alone what can be written? I though this was a website where people contributed to this.

If information about a new MC-taxi company in Stockholm, what could be? Writing only about the non existing companies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olof.he (talk • contribs) 18:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

The stuff about the taxi companies in London is bad and needs to be fixed. When it was first added I was going to delete it, but I found several news articles covering them, which I thought met Wikipedia's criteria for notability. The one in Stockholm doesn't seem to have been mentioned in any secondary sources which means there is no independent information about them. Self-published information is not considered credible.
There is definietly lots of biased advertising material that needs to be deleted from Wikpedia. The fact that it hasn't been deleted yet is not an argument in favor of making the problem worse. See other stuff exists.--Dbratland (talk) 19:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

This article is a spam magnet; needs rewrite

I tagged the article with unencyclopedic and travel guide because that was the closest I could find. The real problem is the article is a spam magnet. The style of writing and the structure is an open invitation for taxi companies to come along and plug their services with spam. The article needs a complete rewrite in order to avoid phrasing that gives list of examples (see WP:SPAMLINK), and to remove any travel guide-type language or how-to advice on traveling to different countries and finding a taxi. --Dbratland (talk) 18:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any spam currently, and it works well to list examples from the countries where motorcycle taxis operate. Not listing specific companies of course! MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 01:12, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
