Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Embarrassmints
Who listed this, and why? RickK 18:32, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, and quickly. Precisely zero Google hits; probably an elaborate joke by someone playing with Photoshop. [[User:Mike Storm|Mike∞Storm]] 19:02, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- (And it's not even a very good Photoshop job, either.) Delete. Spatch
- It's a real product. See http://www.upguild.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi. Nevertheless, it's just advertising and not an article for an encyclopedia. Delete. RickK 19:35, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- I get roughly 228 google hits, of which 15 are displayed and 223 are "omitted" because they're "very similar to the 15 already displayed". I'm not convinced this product is notable enough, but I could go either way. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:45, 2004 Aug 9 (UTC)
- Do not misunderestimate these guys. On the other hand, delete. Although if the producers would care to hang a big VfD notice on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I might reconsider. --Ianb 21:08, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Advertising. I mean, "I know how hard it is to put food on your family," but, whether or not we can even pronounce "subliminable," we can't let the terrsts win by "frightening people with the phantoms of lost liberty." Feel free to breathe the air at Ground Zero, because our EPA has been ordered to tell you that it's fine, and we should go back to our regular business unless there is an alert that we think is an embarrassmint of political activity.

- If you delete this, then delete the one-member Category:Controversial candies at the same time. Gdr 21:49, 2004 Aug 9 (UTC)
- Delete. Not worth an article of its own. Do we have an article about George W. Bush (to be NPOV, let me add "and/or John W. Kerry") in popular culture and the various anti-Bush lampoon products and slogans, e.g. Texas Homegrown Dope seeds? If so, merge there. The article might have been created because of its appearance in List of breath mints, not quite VfD-worthy but perhaps not Wikipedia at its finest.

- Delete National Embarrassmints and Category:Controversial candies too. Wile E. Heresiarch 01:15, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. 20 years from now - this information will still be of interest to students of U.S. political history. Davodd 20:29, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It's not advertising, and if it is, just look at all the other candies and products advertised on Wikipedia. Plus, like the last user said, it could get more and more important as time goes on. 00:40, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Indeed, GWB is not only a national embarrasmint, but an international one, and as an innovative and resourceful president who thinks of ways to harm your country and your people, he deserves a breath freshener named after him. However, Wikipedia should not be in the business of promoting oral hygene products, real or imaginary. Denni☯ 01:44, 2004 Aug 13 (UTC)
- Agree with Davodd, keep. Rhymeless 05:42, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Delete advertising. A line about the candy might be appropriate in some other article about GWB. Rossami 21:07, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. --Dittaeva 21:50, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. For crying out loud, it's blatant advertising for an obscure brand of mint. Featuring GWB's face doesn't make it noteworthy. Why don't we create stubs about every different type of campaign badges used this year? Lacrimosus 01:05, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- If you could find pictures? Sure! Rhymeless 01:46, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. There isn't a good enough reason to delete this page. --152.163.252.3 21:39, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
