[edit] Sheepstealer clothing

Nomination for Deletion First afd was a speedy keep after no discussion due to an admin perception that the nomination was bad faith/inaccurate[1], though this was also disputed by another admin[2]. I basically agree that the first nom may have been by an inexperienced user who cited the wrong policy (WP:SOAP) in their nomination, and since there was no discussion whatsoever, I don't see the need to go through WP:DRV (though I'm open to suggestions otherwise). I am nominating this as a failure of WP:CORP, particularly bearing in mind that the official stance on acceptance criteria for corporate articles has recently hardened. (See "Corporate vanity policy enforcement" by Brad Patrick, General Counsel and Interim Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation). Patrick calls for a "shoot on sight" policy but given the mixup with the first afd, I decided to re-nominate. Initially I thought this company may be a specialist provider of traditional uniforms to Irish sports teams (possibly some notability if that was true), but it seems from the website that they actually just sell the usual range of t-shirts, hoodies and baseball caps for fans. Also, only about 50 google hits. In addition, the article appears to have been created by an employee of the company with a single purpose account Bwithh 02:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
