Contested deletion
Speedy declined because it doesn't meet A7's criteria: it's not about the "company, corporation or organization", but about the product. Was actually about to PROD this. Ansh666 04:18, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
UK fad status?
It appears that "Loom Bands" have reached fad status according to this linked BBC News article[1]
I think that this popularity should be reflected in the main article to reflect the international status of the loom band.--TGC55 (talk) 11:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Good point, this is looking a bit US-centric otherwise. Have added it to the "Reception" section. --McGeddon (talk) 11:11, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- I had to listen to at least 30 minutes, this morning, about the dangers of "Loom Bands" on a BBC London 94.9, so I thought it certainly merited a mention.--TGC55 (talk) 13:10, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Correction needed?
The opening/intro paragraph states the loom was invented in 1981, but the article clearly states it was in 2010. I'm not able to log in, so I'm just suggesting someone might want to correct that line.
