Fails WP:NCORP for lack of significant coverage from independent reliable sources. AmirŞah 21:35, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article includes citations from Complex, Highsnobiety, XXL, Rolling Stone, and HYPEBEAST. These are the most respected and reputable sources in the streetwear and hip-hop cultural communities. The article has additional sources from the official verified VLONE Instagram account. Overall, many streetwear companies create influence through word of mouth, pop-ups, co-signs and social media so there are limitations to how many "independent reliable sources" can be found. Still, a company of this stature with collaborations with A-List artists and household names like Nike should have an article on Wikpedia. I'm open to ways that we can make this article stronger through additional contributions, but do not think there are reasonable grounds to delete it.

delete the sources are lackluster, paid for PR spam, just because someone notable has a business venture doesn't make everything they touch or do notable. PRAXIDICAE💕 22:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you mean. The sources are comparable to the pages of other 2010's streetwear brands like Off-White (company) and Supreme (brand). "Notable" is subjective, but anyone with an understanding of streetwear and hip-hop culture would recognize the influence that VLONE has had in both areas over the past decade Nicojtripodi (talk) 22:04, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is all promotional PR spam.Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 02:37, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No suitable sources. Article is all self-written type content. North8000 (talk) 02:21, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am unable to locate any deep or significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:19, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
