New Era

Highly ambiguous article. Not truthfully necessary. Hasn't been touched or edited in months. The discussion page showed the necessecity for adding to the article, but that hasn't seen a post in over a year. This article fails to provide a complete picture of the term described and truthfully, in its current form, without a complete rewrite and inclusion of ALL applicable topics, serves no true purpose.

Delete, not notable, may cause confusion with the company of the same name that manufactures baseball caps, among other things. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not only not notable, not factual. The claim that the phrase was coined in the last 5 years is debunked by the New Era Cap Company...which I thought this article was about and was prepared to debate its notability...I say redirect this back into the disambiguation page.

Delete Is that's what's been going on for the last six years. Hmmm. I think it stopped being a new era about the same time that displaying the American flag was no longer a fad. Mandsford 01:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete The article is short and a bit rough, but confusion between it and the company can be fixed with a link at the top that directs to the baseball cap company and the same on that page. That's no reason to delete it. Also, this article refers to a term used to describe a "post 9/11 America". This certainly did not stop after "the American flag was no longer a fad". You have to be joking. This "new era" I believe means to explain the era of new laws, attitudes, and accomodations that are now prevelent because of 9/11. It's pretty important and definitely relevant still. It's kind of a crappy article now, but I've seen worse. If anything it should be merged with post 9/11, but I don't believe it should be deleted. If however, the quotes mentioned are false and so are the sources, and the term has been proven beyond reasonable doubt to not have been ever used in such ways or at all, then I'd reconsider. But, for the record, this article was pretty close to what I expected it to be when I found it. I hadn't even heard of the baseball cap company.--Zombiema7 12:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
