The article is written like a PR bit (most of the language seems to come from the website) but it's definitely becoming a fairly major independent clothing label, probably meets notability standards. It's pretty regional though, you're not going to see it outside the East Coast or South. But, especially in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, it's one of the most commonly scene high-end casualwear brands. There are about fifteen stores total from Florida to Massachusetts. Article needs a rewrite so it sounds less like advertising and uses news sources, but overall I think it meets notability standards. 173.73.89.48 ( talk) 22:44, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Vineyard Vines — Remove quotation marks. I tried to move it myself and got the message "You cannot move a page to this location, because the new title has been protected from creation". Maybe this article shouldn't exist, either? --

The article was deleted in the past due to promotional content. I have tagged some unsourced sections as needing citations. if no references are added in one week I will remove them. If sources are found in the future any deleted content can be added back.-- Crystallizedcarbon ( talk) 07:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

On behalf of my employer Vineyard Vines, I'd like to suggest an update to this Wikipedia article. Currently, the "Stores" section says, "The company has expanded to more than 59 stores as well as 15 outlet locations across the U.S. states." Additionally, the infobox says, "70 Stores, 19 Outlets, 97 Retailers".
However, this is outdated. This USA Today article from 2019 says, "The company has more than 100 freestanding stores, and its merchandise is also sold in over 600 specialty and department stores." Can someone please update the page accordingly?
User:Crystallizedcarbon, I see you've started a discussion above and worked on the article before, if you're interested in reviewing this request. Thanks! Nicole at Vineyard Vines ( talk) 19:09, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, User:Crystallizedcarbon, I posted a note to you on my talk page and meant to do so here. Thanks again for your previous assistance! I'd like to suggest mention of another milestone, this time related to revenue. Currently, the "Expansion" section has a revenue statement about the mid-2000s, then says, "In 2015, the company inaugurated a new headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut."
I propose adding the following sentence in between these two as a revenue milestone for the mid-2010s:
References
I'll let editors decide if this is worth including as a general milestone. Crystallizedcarbon, I see you've gone back and forth with another editor over the "Legal Matters" section. The series of edits seems to be by someone whose only edits are adding negative text about the company. In doing so, from what I understand, they may have introduced copyright violations and added Category:Discrimination and Category:Lawsuits. I'll also ask, are Legal Newsline and ClassAction.org reliable journalistic sources? I wasn't sure based on my initial reading of guidelines. Thanks, Nicole at Vineyard Vines ( talk) 15:49, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi again! I'd like to suggest a couple additional updates to the article's History section. More specifically, I propose adding mention of the company's partnership with Target Corporation in 2019 and the temporary store closures because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here are sources and text for consideration:
References
User:Crystallizedcarbon, Are you available to review this request as well? Thanks! Nicole at Vineyard Vines ( talk) 20:53, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
I propose adding mention of the company's approximately $1 billion valuation in 2016, per many sources:
@ Crystallizedcarbon: Might you be willing to update the article again using whichever sources you think are best? Thanks again for your continued help. Nicole at Vineyard Vines ( talk) 15:40, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks again to User:Crystallizedcarbon for assisting with the above request. I wanted to share a couple helpful sources with you and other editors. Boston magazine confirms the company is privately owned, if a citation is helpful for "Private" in the infobox. This article also confirms that Vineyard Vines surpassed the $1 million mark in sales within three years and had 100 stores by 2017. The article currently mentions 100+ stores, but perhaps the 2017 "timestamp" would be helpful? Additionally, here's a helpful source about analytics, published by Harvard Business Review. Perhaps this is helpful as a source or external link?
Finally, I want to ask, Crystallizedcarbon, would you be opposed to me posting on an admin noticeboard regarding the legal issues content? I appreciate your prior work to remove this problematic content, and understand you may be willing to remove the text again in March, but I'm hoping some additional eyes here will mean removal sooner than later. Thanks again for feedback and your continued help. Nicole at Vineyard Vines ( talk) 18:09, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

If I do not hear back I will revert the fact based, relevant, cited articles and information about this topic. It is difficult to not view this as a form of censorship, which is why I now take issue — Preceding unsigned comment added by OdinNeith ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

We definitely need to elevate to a proper admin. /info/en/?search=Abercrombie_%26_Fitch There are thousands of like examples. Debate, discuss vs take down. Be a wiki not a factual data suppression — Preceding unsigned comment added by OdinNeith ( talk • contribs) 20:01, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Controversies - equivalent wiki content & pages in the same industry...
Good point though, change legal issues to controversies to be consistent. Good point!
