Rainbow Sandals

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Following a request for assistance with NPOV vios at the help desk, I looked into the history of this article and discovered that aside from spam links the only source it ever had is the official company website. It did claim to be one of the three best-selling brands of sandals in the US, but I can't find support for that at the website, which is predominantly for selling shoes. Googling Rainbow Sandals, Inc didn't help me. As it stands, the article is not encyclopedic, and I do not find any sources to substantiate the rather weak claim of notability it did have. There's no question the shoes have fame, but fame is not necessarily encyclopedic. Moonriddengirl 17:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article doesn't seem to assert notability per se and I agree with Moonriddengirl, fame isn't necessarily encyclopedic.  Accounting4Taste 18:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Although I suspect the subject might meet notability with about 140 Hits on Google News Archives, I cannot find an independent, verifiable source. I have not seen a version of the article, now just a stub, that reads like an encyclopedia article. Perhaps if someone can come up with verifiable sources they can recreate the article in an encyclopedic form. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim   01:43, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
