Dieselmotive Company is a locomotive leasing company. They're of interest to some railfans because they buy old locomotives. However, I cannot find any instances of significant coverage of this company. Sure, there are brief mentions in Trains Magazine and Railfan & Railroad, but they are focused on specific locomotives and only briefly discuss this company. The lack of significant coverage is most clear in how this article is basically just a railfan locomotive roster with almost zero information on the company itself. WP:NCORP is a fairly high bar, and this company doesn't come close to meeting it at this time. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: All of the coverage I could find was about the organisation's aquistions (locomotvies) which is routine coverage. In that coverage the company was only mentioned in passing. I couldn't find any coverage in relaible sources, which are secondary and in which the company is addressed directly and in detail. That is, this appears to fail WP:NCORP.
