Errorwear, SysWear, ThinkGeek[edit]

Advertising. Rick K 08:43, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, Yes its advertising. Inter 11:09, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep ThinkGeek gets 2,540,000 Google hits! Notable enough for a brief article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:10, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
Hmmm. I don't think these three articles should be lumped together like this...ErrorWear and SysWear, while pretty well known in geek circles (umm...not that I would know anything about that :P), may be too small in the grand scheme of things, but Thinkgeek is definitely notable enough to warrant its own article -- Ferkelparade π 13:02, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hm I may have worded badly. The articles are too advertish, but ThinkGeek should definitely have its own article. I know of its notability. Agree with that sentiment. Inter 13:41, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

ThinkGeek is a keep. I haven't heard of the other two, so I'm not aware of any notability and wouldn't notice their deletion (so delete unless someone makes a good neutral article on them by the end of the VfD period), but ThinkGeek is well-known enough that it's possible to write a non-advertising neutral article about it.

Comment Listings of multiples likethis generally result in a confusing mish-mash of comments for the person who closes the discussion and makes the final decisions to sort through, so out of respect to the task that they do I suggest listing separately in future. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:16, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep all. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:16, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Ferkelparade; lumping these together into a single VfD was sub-optimal. ThinkGeek is definitely a keeper for the reasons stated by others. I'm inclined to think the others should be a week delete, because I've never heard of them, but that's probably a pretty poor criteria for what makes something notable. We don't (IMHO) need an article on every on-line retailer that caters to geeks, but Think Geek is well known enough that I think they stand out as notable. I would say that the others deserve a mention on the Think Geek article. --RoySmith 16:04, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. There should be a policy against bundling VfD submissions. GRider\^talk 17:12, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I'm not sure about that. Sometimes it makes sense, like the case of that huge group of buildings all from the same university that someone listed last week. This time it should have been seperate, probably, though I still would have voted to keep them all. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:52, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, Delete, Weak Keep. --fvw * 17:48, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC)
I don't know about the first two, but Keep (and hopefully expand) ThinkGeek. It's a fairly well-known online merchant, and I've seen people wear their stuff.--Clipdude 00:24, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep all, it's information, not advertisement. bbx 01:14, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The reason why I listed all of these together is because they were created at the same time by the same User and all link to each other. Rick K 20:08, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

Keep, no problems with notability. Megan1967 01:58, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete Errorwear and SysWear. Keep ThinkGeek. ThinkGeek is somewhat well-known and distinctive. The others have nowhere near the prominence. --Stevietheman 18:22, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Extreme keep. Does that really say 2.5 MILLION google hits. What the F*** were you thinking? —RaD Man (talk) 05:02, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I was thinking about annoying you, of course. Isn't that the only possible reason I could possibly have posted this? Rick K 22:50, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
Keep ThinkGeek. ~ mlk ^✉^♬ 06:16, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC) ~
keep Thinkgeek, consign the other two to the bit-bucket. Bad Rick, not doing your homework. (Just kidding! Don't kill me!) hfool/Roast me 02:04, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, keep, and strong keep! Do your homework, Rick! --Idont Havaname 06:32, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Don't make personal attacks. Rick K 21:40, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. ThinkGeek is certainly famous enough for an article, and though I don't know about the other two since they're bundled in here with ThinkGeek I vote keep on them as well. Bryan 22:24, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
