Non-notable shade of Crayola. bobrayner (talk) 17:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Denim is a widely used material in fashion and therefore its color is notable and should be kept in Wikipedia. Keraunos (talk) 01:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We already have an article on Denim; you just linked to it. However, just because X is notable does not mean that anything related to X deserves an article of its own. The shade of Crayola is not notable. bobrayner (talk) 09:39, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it. Denim already has an article, which is perfectly sufficient. –jacobolus (t) 03:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – unsourced. If the claim that it's a Crayola color is correct, cite a source at least. Dicklyon (talk) 06:14, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence that this word has any significant usage as a colour name. The article tells us that the word has been used as a proprietary name for a colour of a crayon, but neither the article nor any other source I have seen indicates that it has any more general use. The only reason given so far for keeping ("Denim is a widely used material in fashion and therefore its color is notable") makes no sense at all: elephant are notable enough to have an article Elephant, but it does not automatically follow that their colour is notable, and we don't have an article on Elephant (color).

Delete. Article provides no more information that can't be found in List of Crayola crayon colors. Also no indication of notability of this crayon color used by one particular company. While I agree that denim is a commonly used fabric, this is not about that fabric - this article is about one of the many crayon colors that Crayola makes.--Slon02 (talk) 17:17, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
