Possible sources for additional content

None of these should be included, they're quite nakedly promotional content and a couple are just slop aggregators. Is a single book being a "bestseller" for a single week notable? No, not really. 69.157.0.123 (talk) 13:18, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed it's not notable enough to have an article SerialDesignationN17 (talk) 19:19, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noteworthiness?

[edit]

Is this subject really noteworthy? The article barely has anything about Pendleton or her accomplishments beyond the fact that she owns a small company that she runs as a cooperative and how she released a book that itself isn't particularly noteworthy. I'm going to be honest, this feels like a promotional article for someone who hasn't done much beyond going viral once on TikTok, and the article really feels like it's leaning on the Fortune piece for relevance.

I also don't want to get into OR, but the more I read on this person, the more I am suspicious about their integrity in how they describe themselves and their circumstances, which is another red flag for the noteworthiness of the subject. 69.157.0.123 (talk) 10:06, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adding templates for noteworthiness and promotional material, the only thing that seems to be actually noteworthy is her previous relationship with Drew Bernstein, which by itself isn't noteworthy. 69.157.0.123 (talk) 23:43, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Flag for deletion?

[edit]

This article does not seem relevant or necessary. It does not appear to have anything notable besides being a small business owner in California. Additionally, this article appears to be promotional towards the small business. I am wondering if this article is really needed based on the noteworthiness and heavy promotional content.

I concur, there's no reason for this article to exist, it's extremely obviously promotional and that's why I added the templates in the first place. ~2025-32573-15 (talk) 18:45, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Concur, looks like self promotion, not notable by wiki standards and should be deleted. LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 03:35, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I added the flag for deletion tag to the article based on the discussions concurring MEgstad (talk) 22:17, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Put up my own flag because no, it does not remotely meet notability guidelines. It's bizarre for an established user to try saying a subject meets notability guidelines with absolutely no material establishing a semblance of noteworthiness, beyond sponsored content and outdated promotions of her business, which clearly is not structured as a cooperative anymore and by Pendleton's own admission, outsources manufacturing to China. If it comes down to it, I will add corroborating information about Pendleton's own business structure just to reinforce the point that this subject is not notable.
Wikipedia is not an advertising platform and users would do well to remember that. ~2025-32573-15 (talk) 00:12, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

[edit]

This is clearly promotional content. The Article spends more time discussing Tunnel Vision Clothing than Madeline Pendleton. The article requires; A: Major Edits to insure neutrality B: Deletion. It's clearly promoting Pendleton's business. It barely mentions what the majority people know her for, her TikTok account, Instead it spends most of the article discussing her business. SerialDesignationN17 (talk) 12:26, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's still not clear to me how why she's notable in the first place, or why the person who removed the deletion flag is adding a Publishers Weekly advertisement for her book. If we are that strained for citations already, it's obvious that the subject isn't noteworthy to begin with. If she were notable as a fashion designer it would be one thing, but instead the article draws on relatively unknown e-zines and promotional content. Someone (bless them) tried adding a controversy section, but it's unsourced and irrelevant to the article. Looks like the article is just going to be covered in a template for months on end before anything happens, because she's not notable for an article but likely has enough fans to gum up the process for removing what's essentially an advertisement on Wikipedia. ~2025-32573-15 (talk) 22:10, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The removing from deleting tags is looking like she has potential fans or herself coming to stop the deletion of article. I'm sure how we can move forward if constant deletions are halted by fans swarming in. MEgstad (talk) 15:51, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Someone related to her e.g. Fans, People close to her or herself is trying to prevent this from going through. SerialDesignationN17 (talk) 20:42, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I started a deletion discussion considering the section above and this one, as well as months old tags. --NoonIcarus (talk) 16:50, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
