NN and unencyclopedic. There are many novelty keyboards out on the market, including ones with Disney and Barbie themes. I do not see how this is different from any other. BigE1977 17:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Google receives 307,000 results with the exact term. I'm not so sure if we could keep it and/or rewrite it. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 18:01, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As pointed out by User:Slgrandson there are over 300,000 Google hits (see search here) which is not the case for other "themed" keyboards. While I think the concept itself is silly, it is notable and verifiable. I see no criteria for deleting the article. Ifnord 19:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Very Weak Keep per Slgrandson. Not 100% convinced that it meets WP:CORP - a better reference than Slashdot would be a help, for starters. Tevildo 19:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep. There are various links for strange keyboards under keyboard but their 'novelty' is dubious. However, this seems to be notable as per Slgrandson. Anand(talk) 23:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Das Keep Not much in terms of news articles though, but the New York Times had a writeup. ~ trialsanderrors 00:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Undecided on this, but if it survives, it needs cleanup, as it reads like an advert with a NPOV veneer - virtually all citations are manufacturer's own claims, the section called "Criticism" simply shills for "Version II" (the fact it's $20 more than the original is hardly appropriate for an encyclopedia), and so on. Be careful with Ghit-counts on this one too, as I believe "das Keyboard" is acceptable German for "the keyboard", and that will distort the count. --DaveG12345 11:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
