Delete as per WP:ORG and WP:N. I believe very close to speedy! -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 15:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't know, "Osklen opens in Milan, sets sight on New York", "Osklen, one of Brazil's most famous beach and casualwear brands...", "Osklen has mushroomed into a chain of 36 boutiques in 16 Brazilian cities...", "Globally, aside from its SoHo store, Osklen has six franchise stores - three in Portugal, one each in Milan, Geneva and Rome...", "In Europe, the brand is present in Paris, Milan, Madrid and Lisbon.", "Oskar Metsavaht, the creative director of expanding Brazilian lifestyle label Osklen, who has just opened stores in Milan and Geneva and has New York..." (the last from the Financial Times apparently) per this Google search doesn't sound like a non-notable company to me. Could be better written to bring this out. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:33, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Coverage in Women's Wear Daily[1], for example, indicates notability. Pburka (talk) 18:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: In its present form the article is in very poor shape. It is unreferenced, unverifiable, fails to prove notability and seems rather spammy. As it stands now it is a strong delete. However, the news hits uncovered above seem to me to address the verifiable references problem and appear, to me at least, to assert a sufficient amount of notability. If someone (i.e. not me) was interested enough to put out the time and effort, I think this article could be rewritten into a keeper.

  • Osklen is not a non-notable company. At WWD (Women's Wear Daily) Website there are some coverage about Osklen. WWD Website Search --Rafael.BR (talk) 18:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • original research. IMO Osklen has notability, the brand is somewhat famous in Brazil. But the article right now is written as an advertisement, it needs a major clean up and the removal of all POV adjectives. It also needs more references. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 10:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
