Talk:Argyle (pattern)

Dubious origin. Pointless orphan. --Wetman 04:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Besides, this use of argyle isn't just a type of sock. It refers to anything that uses this pattern. An argyle sweater, an argyle cap, argyle mittens, etc.--Sketchee 02:40, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

I think it is a necessary article. But needs redoing.

Not only is the picture not a sock, but it is also not real argyle.

For starters, how about a page move to something like "Argyle (pattern)"? Joyous 01:49, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

I agree. The article title needs to be changed. 66.61.143.204 13:29, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok, the move is done. It's a start. The article used to have a picture of a pattern that was similar to, but NOT Argyle. If we could get a picture of real argyle, it would be nice to have both, to show what is and what isn't traditional argyle patterning. Joyous (talk) 14:59, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Hope I'm not being heavy-handed deleting this info. OK, the fabric may be newsworthy for a while but there are 2 main problems I see. 1) It seems too ephemeral for an encyclopedia article - and a Facebook fan page doesn't help it seem more substantial - and 2) It's not a typical argyle pattern - some would say not a true argyle - no criss-cross lines. Please let me know if this is out of line with the approach of more experienced editors. Lelijg (talk) 17:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I made some other, hopefully constructive, additions too! Lelijg (talk) 17:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
