AfD possibility
HJ Mitchell has just tried to delete this article, and Gnangarra has previously tried to merge and redirect this article, without any input from any other editor. UGG brand boots, for the most recent year (2008) I've been able to find figures on, sells US$689 million a year. And I found those figures with a single Google search, in less time than it takes to type this. For such a popular brand, I think it rates its own article, particularly since the parent company, Deckers Outdoor Corporation, has a name that doesn't even resemble the name of the brand.

General Motors has separate articles for its Chevrolet and GMC lines. Chrysler Corporation has separate articles for its Jeep and Dodge lines. Of course feel free to nominate this article for AfD if you choose, but I am confident that you won't succeed, and it will be an enormous waste of time fror everyone, that would be better spent improving articles rather than trying to delete them.

Sourcing
Sorry Bilby, I copied the wrong source for the sales revenue of $14.5 million in 1995. I have now corrected it. Please review and confirm. The last paragraph on the first page of the source reads as follows:

"Ugg boots, made of sheepskin, are comfortable in all climates. The boots are sold at Nordstrom, Kinney Shoes and specialty shops across the U.S. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, UGG Holdings had revenue of approximately $14.5 million. Deckers anticipates that the acquisition will be accretive to the balance of 1995 earnings."

Please confirm on this page that the source supports the statement made in the article. Thank you. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 01:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * The source is fine - thanks. It's a press release, but that's fine in this case, as I'm not averse for press releases for certain types of data. - Bilby (talk) 07:08, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Important Trademark Error
Hi all, there is a very important error that needs correcting. In the UGG Australia and Ugg boots articles it states that:

"Due to other business commitments, in 1979 Jenson handed over his share of the company to Smith. Smith later registered Ugg Holdings Inc, trademarked the name "Ugg" in the U.S. and in 1995 purchased Stedman's various trademarks"

According to the documents already on Wikepidia, Smith only every registered "Original UGG Boots UGG Australia" with a rams head logo (see Deckers vs Koolaburra & Deckers Vs Luda), Both of these can easily be found in the above sections. Additionally, I have pointed out this this can be easily confirmed by simply doing a search on the USPTO website, also already on Wikipedia.

Can someone correct this error?--Wikiguy1974 (talk) 15:38, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

List of style codes
I'm concerned that the current list of style codes - which now takes up a considerable portion of the article - is not really appropriate for here, in particular in light of the What Wikipedia is not policy. Any thoughts? - Bilby (talk) 18:34, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
