[edit] BarbieGirls.com

Fails WP:WEB; unsourced. Also: administrator "Can't sleep" redirected this page to Barbie three months ago and was reverted. I think he had the right idea. Also: the original author, Rinku11 (talk · contribs), has few other edits and may have a conflict of interest. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 21:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge I would agree that "Can't sleep..." had the right idea, but it may warrant a one-line mention when merged. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 21:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge or Delete I don't see enough justification (notability) for the article as a stand alone. Pharmboy (talk) 22:03, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It's notable in the world of pre-teen girls, believe me. I believe that sources can be found to confirm that this is popular, and that there is a feeling among parents and educators that the internet site is an acceptable means for introducing girls to computers. Granted that neither you nor I (nor most Wikipedians, sorry) played with Barbie dolls, but like "Bratz", it's popular with a large group of consumers. Mandsford (talk) 22:54, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, this is a significant brand-oriented site. If it should be redirected it ought to be to Barbie Girls, which is the name of the brand extension (Bratz-like stuff), which we do not have an article on or even a real mentino in Barbie.[1][2][3] --Dhartung | Talk 23:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Dhartung's good research work but it does, definitely, require major cleanup.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 04:07, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the multiple links cited by Dhartung. (jarbarf) (talk) 00:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, clearly a notable website. I was the one who reverted that redirect: the main Barbie article said nothing about this website, and even if it had, the site warrants the more extensive coverage possible in a separate article. Everyking (talk) 07:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
