Q2: Does anyone know if or when the company name was actually changed from 'Forever XXI' to 'Forever 21'? Is there a problem with people today reading and understanding Roman numerals? 99.238.20.122 (talk) 02:04, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Q: does anybody know why forever 21 quotes JOHN 3:16 on the bottom of their bags?

The founder of the company is religious, I guess. Xilla 13:56, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Lawsuits: Diane von Furstenberg and Gwen Stefani are certainly not claiming copyright infringement, because garment design cannot be copyrighted (unless and until this law passes: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-ed-fashion15aug15,1,6358481.story?coll=la-news-a_section ). What specifically are their claims? It's libelous to accuse Forever 21 of copyright infringement in this situation. Again, what, specifically, do the two designers claim in their complaint? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.216.99.100 (talk) 01:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

The lawsuits seem to concentrate on copyright claims involving fabric prints, not the garment design itself. Fabric prints fall outside the Title 17 "useful article" limit on copyright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.216.99.100 (talk) 01:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Should we make mention of the 2008 audio book Forever Fifteen or the 2013 film Forever 16 about teen vampire girls whose titles resemble this chain? The latter has a misleading summary. It says "Raven, a 116-year-old vampire who looks like a teenager, enrolls in a high school to hide her true identity." but in the film she says she was born August 11th 1922 and the guy remarks she's hot for a 91 year old, establishing it is 2013. Not sure how old the one in the audio book is. --174.92.135.167 (talk) 18:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

I would say no, because they don't have anything to do with the name of the store, and it's not likely to need disambiguation. There's enough of a difference between 21 and 16 that people are likely to know what they're looking for. They're not relevant enough to need mentioning. Also, the second part of your comment, about the misleading summary, should be moved to the page it applies to. This talk page is on improvements for this article and not the Forever 16 article. People who are specifically looking up Forever 16 would be better able to address that concern than people looking up Forever 21. Jojopeanut (talk) 20:53, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Oh, I've just noticed that those pages don't exist on Wikipedia. Presumably at least Forever 16 did when you posted, but now there's nothing there. In that case they definitely shouldn't be included. No reason to reference material that doesn't exist. Jojopeanut (talk) 20:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
