[edit] SMYLONYLON

SMYLONYLON (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This one's a little confusing. It does exist, it's a clothing store that somehow got involved in the music scene. Current article is probably a copyvio because it had been marked with a credit to the NY Times and reads more like a paper piece than an encyclopedia article. Google hits are a little confusing for me, a little over 1000 but I don't see anything really major. Prod removed by author. JuJube (talk) 07:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment This could be something, but I'm not sure which. There's Chris Brick, musician and serial boutique entrepreneur, there's the band Family of God, there's Smylonylon mix tapes, and there's Smylonylon the store. All seem marginal in their own ways, but there's no denying the store got a profile in the hometown paper.[1] Hard to find anything else. The source is probably a COI rewrite of this zine article (obv. short of RS).[2] --Dhartung | Talk 08:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Smylonylon was the first vintage store in the United States to sell (what is now called dead stock)from the 60's and 70's.Smylonylon was also the first in many areas.The compilation tapes made by Chris Brick and Alex Gloor reintroduced to the world artist such as Lee Hazelwood and Bridget Bardot as well as hundreds of others musicians from the world of Italio-disco and electro..Smylonylon influenced designers such as Miuccia Prada,Tom Ford,Anna Sui,Karl Lagerfeld ,Jean Paul Gaultier Betsey Johnson,Tommy Hilfiger,Ralph Lauren.They all personally shopped in the store and based many pieces in their collections on the items found in Smylonylon.Everyone from Lisa Marie Presley to Cloe Sevigny shopped in Smylonylon.All New York actors,models and musicians shopped In Smylonylon and her sister store Arkle and Sparkle(later named Center for the Dull).Tim Burton bought clothes for Austin Powers from Smylonylon.The theme song for the first Austin Powers film was taken from one of the Smlyonylon compilations.The list goes on and one and sadly is not very well documented on the internetl.There were several films made in Smylonylon and Arkle and Sparkle maybe someone out there could find them! Not many people like to give credit were credit is due and would like to pretend they made creative discoveries on their own when actually Smylonylon and Center for the Dull were two stores in New York in the 90's that influenced everyone and everything!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.224.137 (talk) 18:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Things that are "sadly not very well documented" are pretty much not notable, by definition. --Dhartung | Talk 20:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

How small minded of you Dhartung-The store is well documented but not on the internet if you would care to read the comment more closely.Believe it or not (gasp)not everything of note is on the world wide web!Smylonylon

• Unfortunately, if it's not available there is not much that can be done. We can't accept an article just because some anonymous yahoo says it's notable. And calling people "small-minded" will not help your glorious cause. JuJube (talk) 22:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I did not think this was a trial especially since some things considered note worthy on Wiki are much less documented than Smylonylon.If you would like me to gather more documentation than I shall,I didn't realize the responsibility was mine. Please do me the honor and delete Smylonylon if you would prefer that I not pursue this further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.224.137 (talk) 01:37, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep On the basis of a full signed featured article in the NYT--its not a copy vio from there, as anyone could tell by looking at it via Google. (I reformatted the link as a reference to make it even easier). That's not my idea of an "anonymous yahoo". or "not very well documented". If there is that, there's almost certainly more. That kind of media notice amounts to notability. -- (btw, the article formats the name as "Smylonylon", not full capitals.) DGG (talk) 00:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
