Donald J. Trump Signature Collection

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Defunct clothing line, whose notability is not asserted independently of its association with Donald Trump, therefore fails WP:PRODUCT.

A large section of the article is dedicated to a 2011 lawsuit, which could be briefly mentioned in Legal affairs of Donald Trump, as that article is currently silent on this particular case.

The rest covers marketing of the 2004 product launch, and campaign fodder from 2015/2016. This last bit may go into Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, if it's not already there. That article now says that in 2015 Macy's announced it would phase out its Trump-branded merchandise over Trump's comments about Mexicans, which seems a sufficient summary of what there is to know in relation to this brand. — JFG talk 00:21, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep- It was a well-known product line (even before Trump launched his campaign). The fact that you are suggesting the the content of the article be split and added into two separate articles supports it notability. A reader should not have to go to two different articles to learn about one topic.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:56, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am only suggesting to salvage a couple of sentences, especially to avoid losing information about a business lawsuit that received some press coverage. That does not make the product line independently notable. — JFG talk 01:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Why don't we just have an article on Donald Trump products into which we can smerge all this stuff? It's not like we tend to have individual articles for each of the enterprise-branded products of any celebrity. bd2412  T 00:23, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This seems like the best idea to me. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 10:20, 13 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Trump puts his name on lots of prodcuts. There are ways to cover his business endevors besides little articles on each of his attempts to increase name recognition and profit.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:08, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- a nn product line; the controversies appear to be minor. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or all celebrity-branded products. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:58, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
