Talk:Kappa (company)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Have alternative marketing strategies really led to the chav stereotype being eroded? If so, then I certainly haven't noticed it! As far as I'm concerned, the Kappa chav stereotype is as strong as ever, and will probably continue to be as long as BBC3 does reruns of Little Britain. The phrase "Kappa slappa" returns more hits in Google than any of the phrases "Kappa clothing", "Kappa clothes" or "Kappa fashion".

So I think the assertion that the stereotype is eroding needs a citation to back it up. Squashy 03:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

This whole aricle seems a bit of an advert kylet 00:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree with both of the above comments; it is now nearly a year later and no evidence has been produced to demonstrate the supposed reversal of Kappa's image, so I have removed the line from the article. --Greg 09:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Kappa is brand probably now known for making poor imitation products eg Kappa style Stan Smith Trainers etc.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kappa.jpg

Image:Kappa.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
