Zenni Optical

  • ... that when Zenni Optical released a Super Bowl LIV ad, its website told a number of customers that eyeglasses deliveries would be delayed for between three and four weeks? Source: Narayan, Shwanika (2020-02-07). "From eyeglasses to backpacks, Bay Area firms scramble as coronavirus closes Chinese factories". San Francisco Chronicle. Archived from the original on 2023-02-27. Retrieved 2023-02-27.

    The article notes: "This should have been a good February for Zenni Optical. The Novato eyewear company aired its first Super Bowl ad, starring 49ers tight end George Kittle, this month. But some people who watched the ad and went online to order glasses got this message: “Due to mandatory business closures in China, standard delivery will extend to 21-28 days. Express and priority shipping will not be available. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

Moved to mainspace by Cunard (talk). Self-nominated at 06:02, 27 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Zenni Optical; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Impressive taking something that was salted and turning it into an article! Appears to be: new enough (moved to mainspace February 27), long enough, doesn't seem overly promotional, and no copyvios detected; the hooks are cited and are interesting. A QPQ has been done. This appears ready to go! BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Is this article at AfD? There appears to be an AfD-like discussion transcluded somehow on the Talk page. Anyway, officially putting this nomination on hold until that is resolved. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:33, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
resolved without explicit consensus to take action – if Cunard wants to take the article to AfD, they are welcome to, but there hasn't been activity on the talk page in over 20 days. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 21:05, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
