[edit] Parker Vector

Parker Vector (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Advertising; no evidence of notability of this product. Dicklyon (talk) 16:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - Googling "Parker Vector" returns 116,000 pages, and the line is unquestionably popular. Sadly most of the sites are commercial (How do you find sources for a line of biros? LOL!). There are a couple of reviews I found here and here but I'm not sure they'd qualify as sources. If this article is going to be deleted, I think most of the branded items from Category:Pencils and Category:Pens would have to go too.-- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 16:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep – notable as shown here. [1], unless reviews by the New York Time and Washington Post do not count. Shoessss |  Chat  17:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per those above me. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 17:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I found 291,000 hits on Google! I do agree that the rule is not like the more hits, the more its notability. Still without having any substantial importance a pen won't get such a high number of hits. I do also agree with the point that it sounds like an advertisement. But, solution to this problem is cleanup not deletion. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 18:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, per google hits (which in this case can be considered valid) and reviews by newspapers (per Shoessss).Vice regent 20:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. While GHITS alone aren't strictly speaking WP:V, they should indicate to a responsible editor that reliable sources are more likely to be found than not with some sifting. If, after sifting, you still can't find any, then nominate and say so. Among other things, the pen was used to sign the pledge of impartiality during the Clinton impeachment trial in the US Senate (The Breach). --Dhartung | Talk 20:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep is notable, and a google search returns over 100,000 pages. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Clearly notable. Doczilla (talk) 01:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
