Cluster of poorly sourced articles for various categories of a regional film and television award. All but one of these are sourced exclusively to the awarding organization's own self-published content about itself, rather than any evidence that the awards get reliable source coverage in WP:GNG-worthy media, and the only one that does cite any outside sources at all just cites a small smattering of community hyperlocals and blogs, alongside what's still mostly the award's own self-published content about itself, and just one proper article in a major daily newspaper that actually verifies all of the winners (but not the nominees) that year. As always, award categories aren't automatically notable just because the presentations are technically verifiable on their own website — the notability test is the reception of third-party coverage in real media, but I've tried to source Leo Awards stuff properly in the past, and it's almost impossible because they just don't consistently get the necessary media coverage. And for added bonus, most of these have not been properly updated in years; only two of them go past 2016 at all, and even one of those stops at 2017, with only Musical Score in a Documentary having been updated all the way to 2021. These awards just aren't highly notable enough to get the comprehensive "standalone category articles" treatment that the Oscars, the Emmys or the Canadian Screen Awards get, because the depth of media coverage necessary to support that just isn't there.
(Also, I struggle to understand why technical craft categories like picture editing and production design in children's television were somehow more important for us to have articles about than topline categories like Best Picture, which nobody has ever created at all, but that's a story for another day.)

This is a page about the husband / business partner of fashion designer Orla Kiely. Rowan's input appears to be entrepreneurial rather than artistic, so WP: CREATIVE doesn't apply. The businesses with which Rowan has been involved are not notable enough to have the their own WP pages: the references are mainly focused on Kiely and her artistic work. In short, I feel the page fails WP:NOTINHERITED. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:38, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

- Merge/redirect to Orla_Kiely#Personal_life. As noted by the nom, the subject's notability (and the references and the text of the article) all deal with the subject's association with Orla Kiely and Kiely Rowan PLC. Both of which are (as they should be) covered in the Orla Kiely article. This article is otherwise something of a FORK. There is limited (if any) evidence that the subject meets the notability criteria for a standalone article. Under WP:ANYBIO or WP:SIGCOV or similar. (Where there is coverage it is about the subject's association with other topics - like his business/partner). WP:NBUSINESSPERSON also applies. I also note there was an apparent COI/SPA concern arising at the time of the article's creation. Guliolopez (talk) 17:19, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

The result was delete. While on a simple nose count this would seem a "no consensus", none of the "Keep" arguments addressed the assertion that this article fails the GNG. With such an assertion, passing "NFOOTY" is not a relevant argument, and so is discounted. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

This article has been tagged for notability issues for 9 years, and was last edited in 2020 with little to no changes since. I cannot find evidence of notability for this football player even on Google. ES Wikipedia is a stub as well, with no sourced information to copy over.

- Keep as a player of the Primera División (the main professional football league in Chile) I think they merit inclusion. I do concur with the thoughts about lack of references, though.
I was not able to find any.Díaz seems to be a very obscure player, mostly known as Luis Eugenio Díaz (I suggest renaming the article). I found an article published by the Universidad Católica club which says he scored in a match between that club and Colo Colo, in 1997. That confirms they were in the Primera División and their article should be kept [1] However substantial effort may need to be undertaken in order to improve this article. Bedivere (talk) 04:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC) - Delete The Sports SNGs say the subject needs to meet GNG. We do not have enough sources here to meet GNG, so we are obliged to delete the article. Wikipedia is not sportspedia, and we do not keep articles just to make sure we have full roster lists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete No significant coverage provided or identifiable; fails GNG. Further, the article is currently a database entry - due to the only source being a database - so it violates WP:NOTDATABASE and thus needs to be deleted. BilledMammal (talk) 03:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Hundred professional caps over many years? Easily meets NSPORTS. Nfitz (talk) 06:53, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - I cannot find any online coverage (Spanish language or otherwise) that meets WP:GNG. The article is created entirely based on the BDFA.com.ar database entry (and the couple of sentences Bedivere found above: "Luis Díaz estuvo hasta 1999 en la UC, pasó por varios clubes pequeños, el 2002 llegó a Colo Colo pero no se consolidó. Se retiró el 2007 en Puerto Montt."). While WP:NFOOTBALL creates a presumption of notability for this type of article, there are simply insufficient sources available to write the article unless someone has access to offline sources that could support it. Since Díaz played during the internet-era, I'm already skeptical that the offline sources are going to being much more robust than the nearly non-existent online sources.

- @MrsSnoozyTurtle: Per WP:NSPORTS,
the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline
. NFOOTY is a low bar, but fortunately that issue is partially addressed by the fact that they are still required to meet GNG. BilledMammal (talk) 11:26, 22 February 2022 (UTC)- I can't find that quote on WP:NSPORTS NemesisAT (talk) 12:10, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- FAQ #2. Although, I thought you were already aware, as you were discussing it with Random Canadian here. BilledMammal (talk) 12:34, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying. That's a pretty ridiculous FAQ though given it is inconsistent with the guideline itself and with WP:N. It was written in 2013 so got to quesiton whether it still acurately summarises the guideline (both on its own and in relation to WP:N). Personally, I prefer to follow what is written at WP:N, where it clearly states passing either an SNG or GNG is sufficient for presumed notability. NemesisAT (talk) 12:47, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- I disagree, but if you believe that consensus has changed since 2013 I would suggest opening an RFC to change it. BilledMammal (talk) 12:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep – As per WP:THREE, with these sources: [2], [3], [4], extra: [5]. I had also added a few google book sources ([6], [7]) when I had made improvements to the article last week. The company's finances are also covered in an Economic Times profile: [8]. On the existing aritcle, I don't know if mentions in these market/complaint reports count: [9], [10]. I suggest stubifying it to the reliably sourced material. If the article absolutely needs to be deleted, please draftify it instead. I am happy to take up the challenge of improving it, but I won't be able to hunt for offline sources at the local library or Times of India office for the next several weeks at least.

- Notability requirements for companies is much more demanding than WP:GNG. None of the links you mention (many are already in the article) pass the requirements of NCORP. For eg, ToI article on an award by a little known society is promotional and does not appear independent (
it all started
,the uniqueness of these products
,established new standards
,the most modern way
). Business Line and the two Financial Express articles are routine product launch coverage. ET/BI profiles are basically just pro-forma stock pages. I encourage you to read WP:NCORP once carefully. (I also note that your sources aren't quite the ones to pass WP:THREE; none are independent) hemantha (brief) 06:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)- Ok, thanks for the feedback.

- Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. I have been unable to find any references that meet NCORP criteria, topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing 08:47, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - An article should speak for itself and explain why its subject is notable, and this one does not establish either acting notability or general notability. (There is no special notability guideline for costume design, so that general notability is required.)
- This page was already moved from article space to draft space once, and moved back by its author without even a statement that the reviewer's concerns have been addressed (because they haven't been), so that now a deletion discussion is needed.
- A review of the references shows that there are mostly photographs of the actress, likely in clothing that she has designed for herself, with a lot of verbiage about her beauty, and no significant coverage.

- Strong Keep reliable sources continue to be added (e.g., recent interview with the Colorado Public Radio, newspaper feature in 1998, etc.), added the violinist-stub to get help improving the article (a good alternative to deletion), numerous connections and references throughout Wiki, online databases and published dissertations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benedict2021 (talk • contribs) 13:41, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment This is a WP:BLP. Interviews are generally primary unless it is a article about a model. They fail WP:BLPPRIMARY. Lets look at the first block of 10 references:
- Ref 1: [11] That is non-RS. It is a event listing.
- Ref 2: [12] Another event listing. It is non-RS.
- Ref 3: [13] Meet the performs. It is a passing mention at best, for a performance listing.
- Ref 4: [14] Another event listing. A passing mention. Non-RS.
- Ref 5: [15] An annoucement of a concert. Can't be used to establish notability.
- Ref 6: [16] Press-release. Non-RS.
- Ref 7: [17] Another annoucement. Press-release.
- Ref 8: [18] Another scheduled annoucement.
Not a single reference in that first block, prove that he is notable with WP:SECONDARY source. The following was added after I created the Afd.
The rest is scheduling events refs, dodgy links like IMDB and discogs. It is utterly absurd the amount of work that has went into creating an article with 27 references that is a BLP with one review, to state its a strong keep. A single review is insufficient for a BLP. An it is likely non-RS as its a free magazine and look fringe.scope_creepTalk 14:23, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
*Strong Keep
- Comment After a 2-minute Google search, I found another review and a non-dodgy music source by Classical Archives to add to this article. scope_creep's claim only proves this article is an excellent addition to the Wikipedia community and supports the claim of gathering help by adding more reliable sources about (Nathan) Jubal Fulks (i.e., violinist-stub). I'm not sure if a person/ page who has entries on WorldCat, Virtual International Authority File, and the United States Library of Congress constitutes as Non-notable. Everyone is welcome to improve the order of sources or update its references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benedict2021 (talk • contribs) 07:13, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Benedict2021: You have ready indicated at Strong Keep. You can't do it twice. If you have a review, post the url is the common method, so it can discussed. Entries on worldcat, via and entry in the congress don't cut it, on here. What does count is independent, secondary sources. Reviews count. If you have these, post them up, so they can be reviwed. Talking about sources, doesn't count. Evidence does thought. Please post it up. scope_creepTalk 10:10, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Benedict2021: I had to revert the article. Those two references you put were really low quality. One is a blog and one is a musical recording archive site, similar to discogs. Neither constitute a decent ref. scope_creepTalk 18:16, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep This is surely a joke. The reasons given would apply to many small localities in Australia. I and many others have invested thousands of hours to ensure that these articles contain as much useful information as is contained in the sources available to us. For our readers they serve to flesh out their knowledge and understanding of this vast country, which is surely one of the roles of an encyclopedia. Downsize43 (talk) 23:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

BilledMammal (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)- How can references 2 and 4 be regarded as primary sources?

- Comment It looks like the elections are every four years, and the article on Elections_in_Sweden has a section on municipal elections linking to the 2002 elections for various municipalities that is marked as needing to be updated. So one of the issues with this article is that it is very much out of date, or at least it's an odd duck since there aren't articles for the subsequent years.

I prodded this five years ago with the concern "All sourcing tied to The Chess Variant Pages, which appears to be an indiscriminate collection of variant chess pieces and provides no evidence of notability. Internet searches suggest that alternative sources do not exist." It was unprodded by Double sharp, asking to "to wait a bit for Ihardlythinkso's stores of material".

Looks to be a promo piece with "journalistic" sources of dubious reliability. The first source, USAWire[24], looks to be a press release / PR piece, with the author working for a PR bureau[25]. The second source, LAProgressive[26] isn't any better. The author, "Seja Desai", doesn't seem to exist, and her picture[27] is a cropped part of a generic "Asian beauty" image[28] taken in Iran[29]. The final source, Forbes[30] is nearly identical to the first one, and has no author at all.
Looking for better sources gave me only this, yet another PRwire message. All in all, seems to be someone keen to promote themselves and savvy enough to find places which look at first legitimate but are actually just empty shells, rehashing PR messages. Fails WP:N.

Time to revisit this after 10 years! Seems to me to be a non-notable localised league/association. A google search only brings up localised sources, nothing too widespread, quite difficult to establish WP:GNG; searches of Trove appear to return WP:ROUTINE coverage, i.e. scorecards and fixture announcements. It fails WP:CRIN via WP:OFFCRIC from my interpretation, as it is not of Grade standard. My main concern is notability, I am struggling to see how this league is notable and how it can be demonstrated by reliable sources. StickyWicket (talk) 13:44, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I proposed this article for deletion 5 years ago. Since then, there has been 0 substantive improvement. There is one source in the article, which appears to be an undiscerning aggregator of invented chess variant pieces, and I do not believe other sources exist. Certainly this is not the most notable thing named "Centaur" related to chess: that seems to be either a commercial chessboard computer or the notion described in our article Advanced Chess. As User:DGG suggested when un-prodding, merging to fairy chess could be considered. JBL (talk) 12:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

- If one goes to fairy chess piece one finds that this is supposed to be a piece from H. G. Albers' 1821 chess variant named Courier-Spiel. But that piece was named the Counsellor/Councillor (Cazaud & Knowlton 2017, pp. 269–270 Verney 1885, p. 154 ), not the Centaur. It is no wonder that people haven't been able to expand this. It has the wrong title, the wrong description, and even the wrong symbol. Why would we want to merge this when it's wrong in almost every way?

Tenuous notability at best. Most references are opinion pieces, cursory reviews or public relations-fueled pieces. The website is written about briefly in the book Dataclysm (where the content on it is self-published), where it is noted that it was only online for a couple of months in 2010 before being shut down again. Together with the terrible sources and the unencyclopedic tone, the subject arguably falls a bit foul of WP:NOTNEWS. If there is any place to discuss this website, it is in the history section of OKCupid, which this platform was later incorporated into. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:10, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Although "Blind" is right there in its name, it's not clear how central that aspect might be to the user experience. The primary purpose of the app, which some 130,000 people have downloaded so far, is to get people to spend less time snooping each other's profiles and more time actually going on low-investment first dates.

The article notes: "In truth, the most radical part of Crazy Blind Date (whose name and basic concept OK Cupid toyed with in an earlier form more than five years ago) may be the way users are asked to express their satisfaction or lack thereof. After a date's conclusion, the participants are invited to rate each other by purchasing "kudos." Spending a few dollars implies that a date was enjoyable, or at least that one's partner might be a good catch for someone else; spending nothing says you wouldn't want to be set up with someone like that again."

The idea of meeting up with a total stranger with so little information (and none of the personal verification a close friend or colleague might provide in a “real world” blind date scenario) sounds incredibly dangerous. And if not dangerous, well, then, sort of a waste of time. As any woman who’s spent any time on the site can attest, women get bombarded with messages from completely inappropriate suitors all the time. Which is to say, most women have very little faith in OKCupid’s powers of accuracy. Plus, you don’t even have to have an OKCupid profile to use the service — which means there’s even less vetting than normal."

- Notability is not temporary, and there is sustained coverage about the subject in the months after it was established and reestablished which means that WP:NOTNEWS does not apply. The subject received international coverage in the New Statesman (link). Numerous journalists tried the Crazy Blind Date app and shared their thoughts about it in their reviews. Some of the journalists' thoughts were very negative. The considerable analysis and coverage is enough to support to a standalone article about the subject.

- Comment: Barely any of these sources approach serious, reliable content. Most are either conversational-style opinion pieces, literal dating reviews, or self-evident re-prints of press release materials (e.g. here, or see anything that had the word "launches" in the headline - dead give away). Not a single one of these pieces discusses the subject from a serious, analytical news perspective, so they are the weakest of the weak in terms of secondary sourcing, and quite a few are at least partially based on an interview, so primary. At least half of the platforms are also not perennial reliable sources. The Inc article, a reprint of a Bloomberg Businessweek piece, is the closest to a serious, secondary business piece on the subject, so I make that a count of precisely one halfway decent source. I agree that it should redirect to OKCupid (as per the note by Ravenswing), as the service was launched by and was always a part of OKCupid and so can quite duly sit within an article on that company (where it already is).

- "At least half of the platforms are also not perennial reliable sources." – I do not agree with this assessment. Aside from The Frisky (which I am unfamiliar with), all of these sources are reliable sources. "Conversational-style opinion pieces" of journalists' reviews of Crazy Blind Date can be used to establish notability under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Product reviews.

"must be handled with great care and diligence"
as"many reviews are not independent"
and that tech-related reviews are typically"more prone to manipulation by marketing and public relations personnel"

- Merge and redirect any reliably-sourced content to OkCupid#History. It seems like most of the sources provided above relate to OkCupid's acquisition of and subsequent activities as the parent of Crazy Blind Date, so I don't think there is standalone notability to warrant an article. However, there is enough to add to the single sentence about it presented at the target article. Granted, some of the sources aren't the greatest, but selective use of what is presumably reliable without resorting to refbombing looks doable. --Kinu t/c 18:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge per the evidence from Cunard. I understand users on Wikipedia have been skeptical about certain reputable publications having their credibility hijacked by PR conflicts of interest, but can someone tell me what proportion of the sources were PR? The Forbes sources, for example are editorial and written by staff, so WP:FORBESCONTRIBUTOR definitely does not apply. Also, Kinu is kind of wrong in stating the acquisition and its related activities are most of the topic's coverage. There's the reviews Cunard provided plus a Forbes piece of the vision of the site from the individual behind it (and no, it's not an WP:INTERVIEW just because it uses interview quotes, it's a fully written piece with interview quotes here and there) 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 19:27, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- 100% disagree about the Forbes pieces - on is a piece that is clearly based almost solely on an interview with the founder, and the other is an editorial opinion piece referencing that same interview, using the very words "in my interview..." Iskandar323 (talk) 19:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- That's not how it works. A piece written by an independent author, with his own prose of the site, being "based" on an interview (by the fact that it incorporates interview info even if it's paraphrasing or the quotes are interspersed) is not the same thing as a source where the transcript of the interview is the entire page (meaning with no written content from another author), which WP:INTERVIEW prohibits. This part of the essay makes that clear: "At the other end are interviews that show a depth of preparation, such as those that include a biography. An interview presented as investigative journalism of the sort we associate with 60 Minutes can be helpful. In these interviews, the interview material is often interspersed with the interviewer's own secondary analysis and thoughts." 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 02:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe I minced my words too much, but that entire article is quite clearly the bare minimum paraphrasing of the input from the subject and extremely primary in nature - there is barely a shred of any secondary analysis at work. Judging by the overall tone of the piece, I would not be surprised if it was paid. But no matter, we clearly just have different editorial standards. Iskandar323 (talk) 04:20, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

- Leaning delete: he's an associate professor, which means that the named chair doesn't really get us anywhere (per NPROF, "Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level, and not for junior faculty members with endowed appointments"). Google Books and Google Scholar find a handful of citations, but they seem to fall short of what would be need to meet NPROF #1 and/or WP:NAUTHOR. And I can't find any sources – either in the article or from searching – that would amount to a GNG pass. Always glad to reevaluate if there's something I'm missing. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:04, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- The other question mark with applying WP:PROF#C5 here is whether Columbia Theological Seminary is a

. The purpose of C5 is a shortcut to identifying people who are at the top of their field; being elevated to a status above and beyond full professor indicates that the scholarly community has recognized their achievements. I note that Asilvering has added some book reviews, which could go towards satisfying WP:NAUTHOR. Generally, though, it takes multiple reviews for multiple books apiece to comfortably pass that standard, and with only one single-author book and one co-edited volume (plus a book not yet published), that's harder to argue for. XOR'easter (talk) 08:09, 15 February 2022 (UTC)- Yeah, I put those in but the other books are either just recently released or still in the works, so no reviews yet. I was thinking of arguing that there's really no point in deleting this when that third book is going to come out soon (it's a textbook, so I think it's highly likely it will get a number of reviews), but it looks like the publication date on that has been pushed back to the end of this year. Who knows if it will get pushed back again. I think this article will just end up being recreated or undeleted later, but I don't have a good argument for keep either. -- asilvering (talk) 08:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Writing books doesn't qualify for creating articles. For BLP's the author should have significant coverage in media or newspaers or even books that gives complete details about him. I think you need to go through WP:BLP, and WP:GNG. Primary sources should be verifiable. If you go through Google scholar there are many people who wrote books or published many journals like this. That doesn't mean they all can create articles here. The post he held is also not of much significance. - MRRaja001 (talk) 13:11, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Per the concerns above, we don't have a pass of WP:PROF#C1, and the case for WP:PROF#C5 is extremely questionable. It's too soon to say that WP:AUTHOR is met; a second single-author book might clear that threshold, but it won't be out for months, and (knowing how academic book reviews happen) it might not be reviewed for months after that. And even after trimming the copyvio that Earwig detected, the remaining prose still reads like it was copied from somewhere.

WP:ROUTINE talks about "routine news coverage of such things as announcements", "Planned coverage of scheduled events,", and "events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences" - not decades of in-depth national coverage of disappearances.

- Merge to Wish You Were Here (book). Per Mlb96, and all the others who seem to agree that a combination article would be in order here, the proposed merge article seems to be a good enough vehicle for this purpose, especially since it prevents the creation of an article with an unwieldy title. However, caution should be exercised with this approach, since the above seems to be self-sourced, and also because of WP:COATRACK.

- Clarification For me, there was some confusion at the last AfD over whether WP:NCORP applied to a "brand" but after discussion at DRV it became clear to me that a brand is essentially a marketing manifestation of a company or a family of products/services and as such would fall under NCORP. Is this generally accepted or are some editors leaning in a different direction? HighKing 11:34, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'm generally opposed to that, but as was noted this one is a bit weird because it *was* a company for a long time. That said, I think the brand easily meets the GNG and probably meets the heightened scrutiny of WP:CORP. I have to do some further research on the sources (which may not happen in time for this AfD, this week is busy) Hobit (talk) 16:42, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'd say NCORP applies to brands, but I would support keeping of brand articles if multiple products could individually meet NCORP as well (better to have one article describing the brand its products than many micro stubs). But no comment yet on if this meets that bar (or normal NCORP). Jumpytoo Talk 05:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep I don't think NCORP applies to brands and clearly there are other editors that feel the same as I do. There's a lot of coverage on Lowepro that I've found since the last AfD. In addition to what I added to the article already, I found this and this. NemesisAT (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Can you articulate why you don't believe NCORP applies? For me, a brand is essentially "marketing" and is usually synonymous with a company name (but not always) and products (usually). Ta. HighKing 21:26, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

- Allday, Erin (2001-01-30). "Camera bag maker a picture of health. Sr company leads world in meeting needs of professional photographers". The Press Democrat.
The article provides 1,056 words about Lowepro. The article notes: "Just about every serious photographer in the world knows about Lowepro. Lowepro camera bags are sold in more than 60 countries. They have been lugged up Mount Everest and hiked into the Alaskan back country. And most of them came from an unimpressive warehouse on Guerneville Road in Santa Rosa. Lowepro is one of the biggest camera bag dealers in the world. Its parent company is based in Toronto, but since the early '90s, all of the design and distribution work has been done by about 25 employees based at the Lowepro headquarters in Santa Rosa. ... Lowepro started in 1981 as a division of Lowe Alpine Systems, an outdoor-gear maker in Colorado. That company was started by three brothers who were outdoor enthusiasts."
- Lee, Marc (2003-09-05). "Get in gear". The Dallas Morning News.
The article provides 220 words of coverage about Lowepro. The article notes: "Backpackers and nature photographers have relied on Lowepro's versatile and rugged camera-bag systems for 30 years. The packs' hooks, loops and malleable partitions make them adaptable to any trip, and their nearly bulletproof nylon skins and cushioned compartments are both protective and lightweight - perfect for the trail or mountaintop."

The article notes: "Lowepro was originally part of a company founded in about 1967 by Colorado-based Greg Lowe, whose innovations included internal-frame backpacks. That part of the company became Lowe Alpine, owned by U.K.-based Equip Outdoor Technologies Holdings, which also has the Rab brand of outdoor clothing and sleeping bags, founded by British mountaineer Rab Carrington. Lowepro is owned by DayMen Canada Acquisition ULC, based in Luxembourg, with an office in Toronto. The company's main products were originally designed for professional photographers, but Lowepro is expanding to build packs for drones, students and travelers."
- I consider a brand to be a set of products. The brand Lowepro has received significant coverage through numerous product reviews so meets Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Products and services.

Ineligible for PROD as it was de-PROD'd in 2020 with the rationale "take to AfD". No improvement made at the time or since. Frankly I have been unable to confirm that this even exists, as I have not found even trivial mentions of it on a search (and neither did the original PROD proposer). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC) Bundling the following as they are all similarly unverified and were created by the same editor:

- Delete all All four articles fail WP:GNG due to lack of WP:SIGCOV. Per WP:NOTDATABASE, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Just because a vehicle exists, whether it be land, sea, air, civilian or military, does not mean it merits an article on Wikipedia. The best I could find on these vehicles where some database entries that absolutely do not go towards it passing the general notability guideline. Alvaldi (talk) 09:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
