Promotional, fails GNG ^{Atsme📞📧} 17:18, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with Atsme that this is promotional and fails GNG. Question whether the redirect should be restored as an WP:ATD. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:33, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Barkeep49, the redirect went to ballerina pointe shoes. The article is about an internet connected tool used to keep up with retail inventory. ^{Atsme📞📧} 17:39, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: Indeed. The question for me is if Pointy is a useful redirect to the ballerina shoes or not. I agree with you that this article doesn't belong there. Is there a reason you see deletion as better than closing this as redirect? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:56, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm...I didn't think such a redirect would fall under the purpose of redirects per Help:Redirect#Purposes of a redirect. Maybe "Pointy" would serve best as a dab page...^{Atsme📞📧} 18:19, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the article and recreate it as a redirect?

Pointy (the device) is mentioned in a few news sources https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pointy&tbm=nws though --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 19:05, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What would be the target of the redirect? Pointy can mean many different things. It doesn't quite pass GNG, and if it did pass, I'd recommend moving it to "Pointy (inventory device)" or something similar. ^{Atsme📞📧} 19:38, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, couldn't find any sources to establish notability. Most of the coverage seems to have occurred as a result of the funding rounds. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:25, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
