List of Oval Bumper Stickers
A list of those little vanity stickers. As you can get them just about anywhere, this list is never going to be complete. While the little stickers themselves are a notable fad and certainly worthy of an article, an attempt to list every single oval sticker that someone might make is not overly encyclopedic.

 * Are these official? Or are they just decoration? If they are official: keep, otherwise delete. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 19:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think any of them are official per se, but some of them like OBX are certainly widespread and seen all over the place. They're based on the stickers used to identify the origins of cars in Europe.  Since they're simple black-on-white designs (an oval with 2 or 3 Helvetica letters in it), anyone with MS Paint and an inkjet printer could make their own. Weak delete.

 * Considering it seems cafepress is producing their own oval stickers, I'd assume non-official. So, that's Delete for me as well until proven otherwise. hateless 19:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete I would consider supporting an article about the stickers, as BigDT said, but the list itself is not worthy of an article (especially in lieu of an article about the stickers in general) --Icarus (Hi!) 21:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as amazingly trivial list, and probably original research. Stifle (talk) 22:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Yes, this is frighteningly trivial, but this list does provide a service, and a wiki is the right mechanism for this "service." And while anyone can print these, most of them do reference a particular place, are semi-offical, and widely understood in a geographic area. OBX, for example, is understood as the Outer Banks of North Carolina on the east coast of the US, and someone from outside the area could legitimately want to know this.

 * Delete, sorry, the whole thing looks like a vehicle for someone's cafepress site.     Since there are no 'official' stickers, the list is endless and you could simply place anything here.  Maybe an article about the phenom would be more appropriate - without the linkspam at the end :)    Kuru  talk  02:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I see nothing wrong with this list. I don't see how officiality is relevant, and I certainly do not see how it is OR.  AdamBiswanger1 13:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, though an article about the phenomenon themselves would be interesting to see. What on earth would you put it at, oval bumper stickers? -- nae'blis (talk) 21:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete nifty list of stickers but not encyclopedic. Whispering 18:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
