Hoax skate
Advertising, POV, unsuitable for Wiki, balh-blah... Gnarly, dude! Eddie.willers 01:25, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep / Major Cleanup Article needs cleaning up (needs NPOV, Wikify, more factual info). It is a real chain of skateboarding shops.  But I'm not sure if it is noteable enough for Wikipedia.    &mdash; Kjammer  &#8962;  01:52, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I'll reconsider if the article gets cleaned up and if someone cites a reference for notability (i.e. they sponsor a well-attended annual skate competition or sponsor a notable professional skate team, or something along those lines). Five shops leans me heavily towards non-notability. Fernando Rizo T/C 04:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; We have articles about roads, schools and a number of other subjects which isn't really notable - except that it exists. In this spirit this should be kept unless clearer guidelines as to notability can be established. | Celcius 04:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak delete per Fernando Rizo. --GraemeL (talk) 10:03, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment; is there a Wikipedia guideline on what criteria a company have to meet to be listed on Wikipedia? I think that it would be incredibly helpful when it comes to issues like this. As for the article, I personally do not think that it is notable enough for an article. I have travelled through a lot of East Anglia, and have only seen a small shop. It seems like a chain of a few local stores. IINAG 14:15, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep it's worthwhile. Trollderella 16:38, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete It is hard to see how five skateboard shops are worth encyclopedic treatment. Dottore So 19:58, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems like it could be of interest, skate shops are often cultural centers of fringe communities, needs to be cleaned up however. Sdedeo 20:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence whatsoever of notability. Denni &#9775; 23:38, 2005 August 26 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Tp 06:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I asked Tp to input on this as he is a frequent editor of skateboarding/related articles, I'll follow his lead here. Alf 09:38, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Their decks look really cool though.. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 05:04, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know they're kindof basic. I can't explain why I like them... Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 04:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
