Staples Snowbot
Staples Snowbot was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was merge with Staples Inc. and redirect.

Although well-written, this subject (a tv ad character 2000/2001) is not encyclopedic and has no potential to become so. - Amgine 05:57, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep: Is Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun encyclopedic? Is I'm lovin' it encyclopedic? Brianjd 06:20, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Staples, Inc. (not Staples, which is a disambiguation page). That article is a stub. Brianjd 08:10, 2004 Dec 2 (UTC)
 * Merge to Staples

 * Merge and redirect to Staples, Inc.. &mdash;[[en:RaD Man|RaD Man (talk)]] 09:47, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I can't see a reason not to. R ADICAL B ENDER  &#9733;  15:16, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect: The difference between the McHorrors and Burger King mess and this is that this did not, at least to my knowledge, achieve cultural resonance as a separate item from Staples. I personally think that "I'm lovin' it" hasn't, either, and shouldn't be a separate article (in fact, I think it's a failed campaign), but that's irrelevant to this discussion.

 * Delete. It is different than the other examples because 1) they achieved cultural relevance beyond the product they were marketing and 2) they survived as marketing campaigns for a significant period of time.  This was a single-season gimmick no different from thousands of others.  If not deleted, merge and redirect.  Rossami (talk) 21:59, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree that this just isn't significant. Might as well have an article for the Lonely abandoned IKEA lamp -Rjo 00:28, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: And Sad abandoned IKEA cow creamer, though both ads should be mentioned in Spike Jonze, as this could (I guess) be mentioned in Staples. Geogre 01:34, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. --Viriditas 08:01, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect. P Ingerson 03:00, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Advertising mascots must, in my opinion, reach a high level of notability, and this particular mascot does not. Indrian 04:30, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
