Per Wikipedia is not for things made up one day Winner 42 Talk to me!  17:27, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I found articles in The Oregonian and The Portland Upside that discuss this campaign in a fair amount of detail. It would be good to have some input from those familiar with Oregon newspapers as to whether the second is a reliable source.  This is not a slam dunk delete.

 *  Weak Keep The Oregonian article definitely seems have been published, but the archived version has succumbed to the usual O-vanish. We need a little more time to do digging, but the topic is most definitely a key part of modern Oregon cultural pride. It's become a symbol for the state. In other words, this was not just made up one day. Steven Walling  00:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed to firm Keep after having seen the references added. Verifiably a part of the Oregon cultural firmament, not just a thing made up one day. Steven Walling  09:14, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not made up in a day, but I couldn't find any reliable sources discussing this other than the ones Steven Walling found. Searches for it were much more likely to turn up "Keep Portland Weird" as being notable- I found zero sites, other than those selling the stickers, that mention this. The two articles at the O (one that we can see, one that we can guess existed) are just a blip in time, the proverbial fluff piece. tedder (talk) 02:01, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Possible reference The Portland Upside, Stick to your dreams, Nicole Morales, January, 2010. This is a volunteer written newspaper, but seems to have professional editing.  I am not sure if it should be considered a reliable source for Oregon news. Cullen328 (talk) 05:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep I've added references from two newspaper blog posts by The Oregonian, as well as the reference mentioned just above, and another about a corn maze in the shape of the emblem. I've added other information and an external link.  The Democratic Party in Oregon adopted the emblem in 2008.  In my opinion, this just passes notability now.

 * Request to closing administrator If the decision is to keep, please capitalize "Oregon" in the title. Thank you. Cullen328 (talk) 07:01, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Done already. Steven Walling  10:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Keep Not sure that Local coverage (and its pretyy limited for somethin 'popular' really is that stroing. But it does appear to have recvied some coverage. More sources would be usefull..Slatersteven (talk) 13:53, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Has multiple RS, meets GNG. I can also personally attest that these stickers are relatively common (~0.2-1% penetration?) in the greater Portland area. Jclemens (talk) 22:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
