• Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 10:36, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This is a rather iconic football boot amongst many, there are multiple reviews online about the boots such as ESPNs example, which in turn is in-depth coverage. There are some news articles, such as [1] about possible discontinuation of the boot. However they continue to update it at times [2]. There are multiple sources online, @GiantSnowman: If you continue to post the same thing over and over again of no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. I will be more than happy to report this to ANI, as at times this is rather like how many have be barred from AfD. Simply voting delete or keep with lack of explanation is tiresome. Especially for an article such as this, when there are huge amount of sources online for this icon boot. Govvy (talk) 11:56, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I did explain. Feel free to take to ANI. As I have explained elsewhere, and as others agreed with me, your respectfully shitty attitude in dealing with people who you disagree with at AFD will not win people around to your way of thinking. GiantSnowman 17:12, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Your first citation, the author runs a blog which sells the products he reviews. While it may be published by ESPN, there is a clear COI there given that ESPN are publishing his websites name in connection with the review. Your second citation, I couldn't find any editorial staff or policies for that website. TarnishedPath^talk 03:06, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, or delete ALL brand name articles. Please see Category:Adidas, and Wikipedia:Brands. The other Adidas are no more, nor any less, advertising than this one. And it's not isolated to one brand. Don't cherry-pick only select Adidias articles to delete. — Maile (talk) 10:52, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Maile66, I'm not cherry picking Adidas. Refer to the following other football boots that I nominated:

  Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Hypervenom - Deleted

  Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Mercurial Vapor - Deleted

  Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Tiempo - Redirected

  Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Total 90 - Redirected

  Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Phantom Luna - Deleted

  Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike CTR360 Maestri - Currently relisted TarnishedPath^talk 01:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. I struck through my comment about cherry picking. — Maile (talk) 01:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Maile66, no worries. Enjoy your day or night. TarnishedPath^talk 02:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: @Govvy: I find nothing objectionable about @GiantSnowman:’s comment. His comment about pinging is a reasonable alternative to following multiple AfDs, comment-by-comment, after leaving his own comment. I suspect an ANI discussion would ultimately reach the same conclusion, perhaps after some contentious, gratuitous drive-by comments from the peanut gallery. Either or both or neither of you might get sanctioned - it’s a crap shoot. ANI is not worth it, trust me.

• Comment I had edited the article to remove unreliable sources, however an editor has seen fit to restore the unreliable sources because they think it appropriate to include blogs, websites with no locatable editorial policies and sources which don't back up the claims made in articles because "they are not black listed". After removal of unreliable sources there were only two sources left in the article. One of the sources was about California banning kangaroo skinned boots and barely mentions the product. The other is about the product being offered in white. TarnishedPath^talk 11:45, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge Adidas Copa Mundial, Adidas Nemeziz, Adidas Predator, and AdiPure into single article on Adidas football boots, eliminating everything that is either unsourced or sourced to non-independent sources (which is quite a bit of it). BD2412 T 01:13, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
