No indication of notability, the only result was from the Urban Dictionary and it was a vulgar term. Matthew Thompson ^{talk to me bro!} 13:42, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:RS (no sources at all:: Yes I agree the page lacks content but maybe redirect to sandal User:Aviation.expert 13:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Anklet. There is actually a picture of the subject of this article on the page "Anklet". Ryan Vesey Review me! 14:14, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Anklet. Good find, Ryan Vesey. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:53, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is a picture of something that fits the description in the article Anklet, but neither in that article nor anywhere else is there anything that says it is called a "tanklet". Every indication is that the word was made up by the person who created the article Tanklet, who also put the word in a couple of other articles, perhaps as an attempt to popularise the word. Like Matthew Thompson I am unable to find any record anywhere of this word except in Urban Dictionary, which says that it means "testicle", which has nothing to do with the subject of this article. In fact I think the article could perhaps be speedily deleted as a hoax. There is no justification for redirecting to another article since the existence of the term is completely unverifiable. Indeed, since the word either doesn't exist or is so rare that it can't be found anywhere, if it were redirected then it would qualify for immediate speedy deletion as an implausible redirect.

Comment I am fairly uncertain about what should happen to this article. I found a website selling tanklets here, but I also found out that the image I referred to is much more commonly known as a barefoot sandal. Etsy.com is the only website that appears to be selling them. Ryan Vesey Review me! 17:05, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well done, Ryan. I searched and failed to find anything about them, but you have done better. Well, clearly the word does exist, but it seems to be a trade name used by only one business, and I see no evidence at all of notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that redirects are cheap and there is obviously some, although very minimal, usage of the subject, would a redirect to either Anklet or Barefoot sandal be appropriate? Ryan Vesey Review me! 03:59, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RS (no sources at all, and I couldn't find anything relevant in a Google search); WP:V (can't verify without any sources); WP:INDY (no sources at all, thus no independent sources to substantiate notability); and WP:SPAM (the article is written like an advertisement).

Delete I am withdrawing my recommendation to "Redirect" because it seems that this is a term created by an individual who makes and sells a handmade product on Etsy. The phrasing in this article and on Etsy are very similar, and we should not be promoting a neologism by a solo craftsperson. Etsy says, "It is so flattering on EVERY foot!" and our article now says "It is so flattering on EVERY foot". That being said, I wish the craftsperson well.

Delete Per Cullen328 and JamesBWatson. The similarities between it and the etsy site lead me to believe it is the company pushing their brand. Ryan Vesey Review me! 13:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
