235:) Do you not consider the price of each wristband,the symbolism behind the color, as well as the number of wristbands sold, facts? Also, I believe the doping scandal is an important aspect of the article because it provides background information of the person responsible for their creation. I think that we could add some substance to the article, but shouldn't delete it completely. If you think about how often these are seen on a daily basis, surely people will be curious enough to search what the wristbands are for.
209:. There are no cited facts about the wristbands, even though this is purportedly an article about the wristbands themselves. The wristbands have not been the subject of significant coverage. The wristbands are incidental to the vastly more notable subjects listed above. Or, in short, these yellow bands do not inherit notability from Armstrong, his Foundation, or the doping scandal, per
426:
461:
591:. The bracelets were a significant part of fund- and profile-raising for the Foundation, and the information here is reasonably well-sourced, but there's no need for separate articles as neither are long. Information on the wristband only makes sense in the context of the Foundation.
365:. Even the Arstrong doping articles give significant coverage to the wristbands. WP:GNG does not require all coverage must come from articles only about the topic, but that significant coverage is given to them, even if the article is about a different topic.--
255:
If you have the sources to add substance to the article -- sources about the wristbands -- now is the time to identify them. You don't have to fix the article now, but if sources exist they're the only thing that can save the article from deletion.
166:
489:. But importunately, the article descibes an urban legend that spread one year before the Livestrong bracelets, concerning teenagers wearing "sex bracelets" in Florida, Illinois, etc. Note

of the, now many, silicone wristbands. Is this really supportable and sourced? If so, I'd agree that keeping it as an independent article would be justified, but is this true?

424:"A common adage holds that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the yellow wristband campaign quickly spawned a host of imitators in support of other causes."
