Just Do It (Niké)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Unnecessary duplication of content already in more detail at Nike, Inc.. Was CSD'd as A10, another editor converted it to redirect, original editor then reinstated it (losing the stub-sorting which had been done): not technically "removing the CSD tag by original editor", but having the same effect. Just do it! is a long-standing redirect to Nike, Inc., and there is a hatnote at Just Do It. Pam D  06:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Withdraw, as nominator: more content has now been provided, and the slogan appears to have some notability. My nominations to CSD and AfD were perhaps partly inspired by sheer irritation at the creation, by an experienced editor, of a stub which made no serious attempt to link to the existing Nike, Inc. article (there was a link to the dab page at Niké), and no attempt to link this stub from the existing hatnote at Just Do It or the redirect at Just do it!, as well as initially having much less content about the slogan than was already provided in the Nike, Inc. article. I've now fixed all those links, and moved this stub to a title which takes account of the WP spelling used for the Nike, Inc. article. Pam  D  11:07, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep as creator: A quick search on Google reveals a tonne of information. The history of the slogan. How it has been used in Nike advertising. Why it is one of the most easily recognized slogans of all time. ... even stuff like the psychological issues related to it like: does it drive people to do reckless behaviour.. there was an article in GoogleNews questioning whether it subliminsally made Tiger Woods do what he did. Fascinating stuff... and I think independently notable to Nike. (btw sorry about the "acute" on the "e"...)--Coin945 (talk) 08:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Just Keep It There seems to be lots of scope for expansion - see Encyclopedia of Major Marketing Campaigns, for example. Deletion would be disruptive and contrary to our editing policy. Warden (talk) 09:48, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
