Skinny Water article
Hi there, sorry about the deletion request it isn't anything personal, but there seems that very little has been written about this product (as opposed to some of its ingredients) by anybody apart from the people selling it. This is explained more in our notability policy. Since you seem to have created this as part of a class project even if it does end up being deleted it would be OK to keep a copy of the article in your userspace (eg User talk:Chelcal\Jana Skinny Water‎) until it has been graded. Another possibility would be to merge the content you've created into the article on Flavored water, but this option will need quite a bit of re-writing. Tim Vickers (talk) 19:47, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You'll see from the comments I put on the talk page that this needs to be less of an advertisement and more of an article about the issues surrounding this kind of water. Or to focus on the ingredients of Skinny water and other so-called weight reducing water....Auntieruth55 (talk) 20:44, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * So you'd favor redirecting to flavored water and adding sections to this broad article about common ingredients and the health claims made about these ingredients? Vitamin water is another possible and notable topic, this title currently also redirects to flavored water. However, we can't keep an article with the title as this particular brand of "skinny water" if nobody apart from the manufacturer has ever written any reliable sources about it.

 * She's going to combine, either for vitamin water or flavored water. That is her choice.  She can make this company into a stub.  If you can give her any assistance and encouragement, that would be terrific. Auntieruth55 (talk) 18:31, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Chel, I fixed the table. If you want the columns sortable, let me know. Auntieruth55 (talk) 18:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

If that is possible that would be awesome otherwise i could do ranges of caloreies. Chelcal (talk) 18:42, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, nevermind. It does not need to be broken down because for most of the brands all of the flavors have the same amount of calories. But thank you! Chelcal (talk) 19:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Could someone help with my reflist? It seems to be doubling up rather than making the abcdefg kind of thing. Sorry I am not sure what thats called.Chelcal (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC) Its in User:Chelcal/sandbox4

AfD nomination of Jana Skinny Water
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jana Skinny Water. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Jana Skinny Water. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if you would consider doing a Google News Archive search for this product, as it appears that a few articles have been written which briefly mention it from a skeptical perspective, which could help place this article in a more neutral stance. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:30, 22 April 2010 (UTC)



Please don't worry
You have put in a lot of good work, which will not be wasted. The content you've written will probably end up forming a large part of a much more general and important article. From this view moving content and merging with another article will be a good thing in the end, since more people will end up reading your work! Tim Vickers (talk) 18:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I've also added a list of more general sources to Talk:Flavored water, hopefully you'll find these useful. Tim Vickers (talk) 19:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
