The result was redirect. There isn't really a consensus between the target (Commercial off-the-shelf or Ready-to-wear), so I'll be WP:BOLD and create a disambiguation page. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also moved the page to Off-the-shelf for consistency, by the way. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:44, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Commercial off-the-shelf, add a disambig to Ready to wear at the top of that page, and expand Wiktionary's entry using some of the content here. Fences and windows (talk) 02:54, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Googling "Off the shelf" reveals 5,380,000 results. The term is commonly used. Dream Focus 01:09, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ready-to-wear as is done with Off the rack; the article itself says that these terms are "equivalent". JJL (talk) 02:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ready-to-wear as JJL suggests-- this is a reasonable synonym. The non-fashion usages are merely dictionary definitions, while ready-to-wear is a meaningful category (market segment) of clothing. Avram (talk) 06:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it redirects to Ready-to-wear, there should be a "Off the shelf" redirects here, see also Commercial off-the-shelf notice. Fences and windows (talk) 18:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
