 * Delete WP:CATALOG Listing the different colors of a specific brand of permanent marker smacks of advertising. Joshua Scott (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per Joshua Scott comments. (Nice job formatting all te little colored boxes, though.) Edison (talk) 21:19, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Question Is there any way, tho, that this list could be considered useful? I know I LIKE IT is not a reason but personally this seems useful to me and could serve informaitonal purpose. However it would have to be rewritten since it is incomplete in its present state and contains one color listed numerous times. ¡ǝıʞʞǝɹʇ ʇuǝıɔuɐ (talk) 21:49, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Only if it is merged into Sharpie (marker).  Eagles   24/7  (C)  21:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Anyone wanting the colours is more likely to look in the catalogue they're about to order from, or see what's on the shelf in the shop. (Personal experience there - is that OR?) I know I'd never think of looking in Wikipedia for this info, and I've looked up some very strange stuff here. Peridon (talk) 22:06, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete A list that simply displays the colors of a particular product without providing any additional information is clearly too trivial, at least in my opinion. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 23:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm afraid that this crosses the line into advertising and beyond-- Wikipedia is not an office supplies catalog. One can access the company's website to learn about the different colors available for individual Sharpie™ brand markers http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/ProductCategory/permanent_markers.html just as one can go to another company website to learn the latest available colors for http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Writing-Instruments/Highlighters/_/Ns=Rank%7C1%7C%7CProduct%20Number%7C1  Hi-Liters™.  Nothing wrong with putting a link to the company catalog in an article, but there is a problem with the article becoming the company catalog. Mandsford (talk) 23:53, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment What colors of socks does Sears Roebuck sellin each style? What sizes of woodscrews does Ace Hardware sell? Unencyclopedic WP:CATALOG information in each case. Edison (talk) 01:27, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia isn't a directory. Nyttend (talk) 03:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 *  D e l e t e  per all the above. Plus it doesn't help navigation ¨¨ victor   falk  05:33, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW, or merge as noted. Bearian (talk) 17:57, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Mansford. This reads like an advertisement. Warrah (talk) 21:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet another pointless list, at least we're doing the right thing with this one.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 21:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
