Trivial fan-cruft. Not a single section is referenced, none of it is notable, none of it is verifiable, all of it original research. Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC) 23:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Apple's marketing is quite notable, being the subject of numerous reliable sources. I found no difficulty in providing a citation for the first entry and improving the rest just seems to be a matter of ordinary editing per our editing policy.

- Comment: If you can find sources, please do. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:16, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just did. You're the one who needs to produce some evidence to support your hand-waving assertions. AFD is not cleanup and I'm not seeing any evidence at the article's talk page that you have engaged with the topic per our deletion policy. This just seems to be a superficial drive-by. Colonel Warden (talk) 05:34, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One reference? That's it? That's all you could find? That shows me the page definitely doesn't meet WP:V. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 07:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are many thousands of sources out there. I cited just the first entry because it was the first, not because that was all that is possible. I specifically stated that there were many sources and you have misrepresented my statement. To confirm the truth of my statement, I have added some more sources - easy work which you could have done yourself if you had performed the due diligence required by our deletion process. In your nomination, you stated that the article had no sources. This was also a misrepresentation as the article had two sources at that time, both of which stand up when checked. It seems that you are making false claims due to lack of proper care. This is disruption. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The burden of finding sources lies on those who insist that they exist. The only hand-waving going on here is that you're trying to assert that finding a single source is enough to assume that "thousands" exist. Please assume good faith and check the tone of your arguments for WP:CIVIL. SnottyWong ^speak 22:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Advertising-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 17:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Colonel Warden. Sources do exist, and Apple's advertising campaigns have received quite a bit of coverage over the years. —fetch ·comms 21:56, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDIR. No doubt sources can be found to substantiate the existence of each of these slogans singularly, however none of the sources found thus far establish the notability of these slogans as a group. Each source listed in the article at this point appears to only talk about one or two of the slogans, usually mentioning them in a largely trivial way. None of the sources are about the collection of slogans as a whole. SnottyWong ^prattle 22:16, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The news media does talk about Apple's ad campaigns at times. Think Different even has its own article. Dream Focus 22:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDIR. Could potentially be resurrected as "History of Apple advertising" or something similar.--SharkxFanSJ (talk) 01:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
