Promotional pens
Seems to have started as a vanity page promoting someones pen collection on the web. Although the subject is probably suitable for an article, I can't see that this article as is is suitable as a starting point. Nothings links here. -- Egil 11:07, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Egil CLW 12:45, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - do we have an article on promotional materials, in general? I can't find one, and there are certain things that are very commonly given away by companies that effectively promote those companies by featuring their logo (pens, caps, t-shirts, notepads, etc.). If such an article exists, this should redirect there. -- BD2412 talk 13:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete IMHO its not even an article - its two dicdefs. If you know what a pen is, and you know what a sales promotion is, you know all you need to know. The only redirect that might make sense is Advertising. My .02 - KillerChihuahua 13:05, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep just for the fun of it. I feel like being nice today, and I do love those promotional pens.  "Bob's Garage," "DT Farm Insurance, Inc." and whatnot.
 * do not delete Keep, rename, merge, anything other than delete. Could be an interesting article if given a chance. Roodog2k (talk) 15:10, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tchotchke, which could use a good cleanup. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 15:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Also see Promotional item &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 00:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per KillerChihuahua. Title is also misleading.  Dlyons493 15:53, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: See Articles for deletion/Reklamepenner, which is about the same issue, made by the same author (reklamepenner is the Norwegian word for promotional pens). Punkmorten 17:10, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Tchotchke or delete. --Carnildo 22:52, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's probably a promotion versions of any standard household item out there and nonse of them deserve an article of their own. I mean, I've even seen promotional toothpaste tube roller-squeezers (or whatever they're called). / Peter Isotalo 04:16, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - why the *$#! not? It's verifiable and wiki isn't paper. It doesn't come under any point at What Wikipedia is not. ··gracefool |&#9786; 15:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete just for the fun of it, though I don't think it is real fun. Groeck 16:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources for any of the claims.  Unlikely to be expandable or encyclopedic. Quale 02:23, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
