Some kinda essay or dictionary definition, not an encyclopedia article. I am also nominating these pages for the same reason: Icon brand & Cult brand. Polygnotus (talk) 07:10, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the "See also" in your nomination is somewhat confusing. For clarification, I would recommend changing it to something a long the lines of "I am also nominating these pages for the same reason" -1ctinus📝🗨 17:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@1ctinus: Thanks!

Weak delete: The one possibly reliable source I could find is this: [1], a scholarly article that uses the concept extensively. Additionally, I can find a Forbes Contributor article (which does not count for notability): [2], and an interview with the professor who coined the term: [3]. These are either unreliable or non-independent. If anyone could find one additional independent source, I would change my delete to a keep. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:36, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There is a suggestion on the AFD for Cult brand to Merge this article to that one.

Merge with Lifestyle brand. Everywhere that I found (and it wasn't much) that uses this term it was considered a form of lifestyle brand. This article states that it is a super concept to lifestyle brand, which I question. What is here that is specific to Symbol-intensive brands could be added, perhaps as a section, in the lifestyle brand article. That article already includes much of the psychological aspects of branding. Lamona (talk) 02:52, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
