[edit] The North Face Guru
I have a sneaking suspicion that "The North Face Guru" section of this article is advertising and/or self-promotion. I feel it should be deleted, but I'll leave it up to y'all to decide. Josehunder (talk) 19:08, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- I consider it interesting and relevant. This kind of article has a lot of gray areas - this seems like one of them - but I am in favor of keeping it. Ratagonia (talk) 00:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Looks like advertising to me. It's essentially that site's "About" page re-written. --Mugsywwiii (talk) 13:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- But it's a non-profit page, doesn't have a strong commercial interest. The "about" page is the source for the history material, so of course, the wiki text is quite similar to the source. Ratagonia (talk) 22:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think that this is advertising in normal sense. For me as user of Wikipedia, it seems informational and in so far this section can remain - for me. One argument for remaining: There is such a site where the people are talking about counterfeit products and there are white/blacklists for good/bad sellers. As far as the number of products sold on the Internet, not only on eBay, is increasing, it seems that such "community sites" should be named - especially because the number of counterfeit products is rising - and thus not only in the US. -- ReneRomann (talk) 20:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Logo
According to the company's website, the quarter-circle logo is supposed to represent Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.
- Yep... If you look at some pictures here, you'll find some similarity. :P -- ReneRomann (talk) 20:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Theft
In recent years, there has been a high-rate of theft for their products. Muggings have also occured (esp. in DC area). Any way to work this in? --FasilA 02:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
You could work it into popular items to steal.
[edit] HyVent
I'd like some discussion and comparison of HyVent fabric. --Error (talk) 02:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
