Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alpina snowmobile
The Wikipedia:Notability (vehicles) essay says that vehicle types (this is one of them) are generally notable, but only if verifiable through reliable sources. The essay also notes that it "does not replace the WP:N requirement for significant coverage in secondary sources". Even if general practice is to presume notability for vehicles like these, I think the utter lack of coverage in independent sources seriously weakens the argument for this one. I did a search in news and on the web and found nothing except for the http://www.alpina-snowmobiles.com company's website and http://www.trailgroom.com/aboutus.html a U.S. distributor. These are not independent and are unreliable for our purposes here. But I would argue that this does not even fall under the aforementioned guidelines/essay, because Alpina snowmobile is actually a company called Alpina Snowmobiles, http://www.alpina-snowmobiles.com according to its own website. The Alpina Sherpa would be a vehicle type, but Alpina Snowmobiles is a company. And as a company, it does not meet , as there is apparently no coverage in reliable sources. I'm open to the possibility that there are Italian or offline sources, but unless those can be found, I think the correct course is delete
