Not notable and no assertion of notability. 3 dead links and a blog are all that support it. Somebody's idea of the moment. Should have been speedied a long time ago. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 22:38, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. I've heard this term quite a bit to describe a basic wardrobe. I believe that the article could be cleaned up and Wikified, although I wonder whether there isn't another page on here dealing with the same thing, perhaps under a different title. Quite a few of the American sportswear designers offered "capsule wardrobes". I will have to investigate further, but I think it's quite a widely used term. (and that was before I saw the hundreds of sources!!)... Mabalu (talk) 10:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Widely used phrase, used by major publishers and broadcasters[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Phrase also in Collins English Dictionary[8]. Maybe more common in UK than US? --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Colapeninsula. I've added one ref, will finish later. A412 (Talk • C) 15:43, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Have finished. Looks plenty notable. A412 (Talk • C) 00:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
