[edit] Hot Air Brand

Hot Air Brand (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

New (2007) clothing company. Previously speedied as advertising; the spammy text is now gone but I don't see an indication that this company is notable yet. The only external citation is to a French magazine called "Spray", which does not have an article here. NawlinWiki 00:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I nominated this page for CSD when it first appeared, and although the new version reads much more like a neutral, encyclopedic article, I agree with NawlinWiki's point about notability. That being said, I'm open to revising my opinion if the authors can come up with enough references to establish notability by the time this AfD closes. --jonny-mt(t)(c) 01:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE:

Hot Air is building hype quickly and is looking to make a major move in the exploding Los Angeles Street Wear scene. Here is some more info about the brand that I can't wait to rock.
Hot Air was featured in Hypebeast on September 2007 for their new collaboration with New Era and Grey One. They were also highlighted on The Hundreds feed The Hundreds on August 31, 2007 regarding the Holiday 2007 collection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BMUSE (talk • contribs) 02:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, articles require reliable sources indicating a subjects notoriety, and this has neither. meshach 02:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete - Hot Air will be featured in COMPLEX MAGAZINE (on wikipedia), Antenna Magazine (harris publications - on wikipedia), Nylon magazine, and several others in the next 3 months... They are a VERY viable entity and have many reliable sources...

A subject must be notable now, not in three months. The stores the company sells to are not indicators of notability. Hut 8.5 10:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I speedied this as advertising recently. The current page is better but I see no indication of them passing WP:CORP. Hut 8.5 10:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • To quote from a contribution above: "Hot Air is building hype quickly". In other words, it's using WIkipedia for promotion and therefore I say delete. Emeraude 15:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per lack of notability at this time. Deletion isn't prejudicial, so if/when in the future there is reliably-sourced notability, could write an article then. DMacks 19:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per DMacks. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per DMacks - not enough reliable sources to verify the claims in the article at this point. In the future, it's possible, but right now, no. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete For one, the article must be notable now, if it will be notable is irelivant and is violation of WP: CRYSTAL. Also its written like an add. Finally I have to say that all those DONT DELETE comments look pretty dubious. DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 22:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete, As a source for informative information, it is refreshing to find this article on Hot Air Brand as I am a stylist for a prominent fashion magazine and often find that new companies rely strictly on blogs and other personal websites to communicate the basic outline of the brand. I do not feel that this is ad related and know that there are plenty of people who already know and wear the clothes. Finding this article is the result of my looking for principle names in the company, which I found. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.0.192.234 (talk) 14:14, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
