 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

 * Keep. I think somebody overreacted when the article was erroneously edited with the word "iconic". The article has some potential and just needs a little cleanup. - Areaseven (talk) 06:15, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Besides airing during the Super Bowl (which does not make it inherently notable), there is no actual assertion of its notability/lasting impact, if any. ViperSnake151   Talk  16:48, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Listed among College Humor’s funniest Super Bowl ads, RadioShack stock jumped 7% (!!) on airing it, a record of some sort. It's notable: the article needs to be improved to bring this out.-- Paleorthid (talk) 21:40, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, DannyS712 (talk) 20:11, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Begrudgingly Keep While I don’t see anything particularly notable about this commerical, and how it financially affected the business is utterly irrelvant to its keeping or deletion, there are reliable sources such as Forbes, CNN, and Washington Post that give enough info to be citations for verification.
