Tiger-head shoes

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Article was PRODed per not meeting WP:GNG and contested by the creator saying it does. The article has only one English source and if it does pass WP:GNG, it's just barely. Nathan2055talk - contribs 17:11, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Just a basic machine translation of the sources shows that the requirement for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject has been met. -- Mrmatiko (talk) 17:54, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong keep Nothing wrong with Chinese sources. Notable subject that passes GNG. I will do my best to find an image. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:26, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The topic is documented in multiple sources such as Craftworks of China. Warden (talk) 21:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep the language of the sources is irrelevant for proving notability. The nominator should get a clue when looking at who deprods the article that it is not suitable for an AFD.  Clothing is an area of weakness of Wikipedia and this sort of AFD nomination is trying to perpetrate systematic bias against non-English topics. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:39, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nathan2055&diff=499980429&oldid=499900065 my message] contesting the PROD on the nominator's talk page. I should note that while I "created" the article, the main contributor was, who worked on the article as part of a class project. wctaiwan (talk) 23:45, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. As per multiple reasons above. As Graeme points out, clothing is a weak area on Wikipedia and this is a nicely written article on a well-documented topic with scope for illustration and further expansion (e.g. info on the tiger's head hat which follows the same principle).
