 * The article does not make sense. -- Taku 04:08, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)
 * Looks like vanity, though it is a good topic. Perhaps make it into a list page? -- Friedo 04:15, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a web directory, Alexa rank is 10,000+.  An article on the molecules is problematic as well, what with POV etc. Meelar 04:21, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like vanity (promotion of a Web site). &#8212;Tkinias 04:44, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Guess if it were my site, it could be considered vanity. It's not though, and this article's not intended to promote this site - the info is all public domain and totally verifiable (do you have a copy of the CRC Handbook at your disposal? I do.) Of course, if readers want more info, the site address is there for them. This article is intended to give a bit of a laugh. Oops - sorry - forgot that's not allowed here... Denni
 * So you do realize this is a joke. True, sometimes patent nonsense is really funny. But there is no question whether to include such a joke in wikipedia. Speedy deletion is a function for this kind of articles. -- Taku 23:25, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)
 * Humor &#8800; joke. Something can be amusing and perfectly legitimate at the same time, in exactly the same way in which a joke can be totally unfunny (George W. Bush, for instance). Help me understand, please, why the slightest hint of levity here brings the Humor Police and their Batons of Grimness. Denni 23:03, 2004 Mar 28 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't qualify as "patent nonsense". MK 23:48, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a link repository. Non-famous, article is orphan. -- Cyrius | Talk 05:13, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's amusing, but it could use a clean-up. MK 16:39, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * How does Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense sound? :) - Fennec 01:36, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a plug for a website. Possibly if the only mention of the website was an external link at the bottom of the page I might reconsider. Average Earthman 12:07, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fennec 14:24, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Cleaned up. Note, however, the legitimacy of these terms. They are well-sourced. Denni 22:57, 2004 Mar 28 (UTC)
 * Keep.The website is reasonably well known. I had heard of it beforehand anyway. The molecules are all real.Now the page has been cleaned up I don't see why we shouldn't keep it. theresa knott 11:35, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mildly amusing, perhaps, but Wikipedia material? Not sure. --pne 16:16, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete or move to IUPAC or other article on naming molecules. Regardless of whether this article's content is good or not, it should not be a separate entry. Jeeves 22:48, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, move content to BJAODN Warofdreams 18:03, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Love it. Real molecules, keep (rename if necessary). +sj+ 19:21, 2004 Apr 1 (UTC)
 * Keep. How is this any different than "List of unusual place names" or the weird word list? Wiwaxia 01:34, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
