 * Delete. This is not an important phenomenon. Everything else happens over the internet, including groceries and cannibalism. JFW | T@lk  11:07, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree. This started as an advert and has now been competently NPOVd, but I can't see how to make a good stub out of it, let alone an article. Happy to be proved wrong. Andrewa 00:53, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It may not be important but it is a topic and a factually correct one. List of Pages needing attention Burgundavia 07:04, May 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. With all due respect, a lot of factually correct articles wind up getting deleted.  "Factually correct" doesn't always equal "encyclopedic."  This doesn't even come close to being useful, let alone encyclopedic. - Lucky 6.9 22:20, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
 * The only definition I have at hand for encyclopedic is as such: broad in scope or content; "encyclopedic knowledge", from here. IMHO, this is the beginning of a topic that *is* encyclopedic. Rental of cottages is broad in scope (lots of people do it) and content(there are many ways/places/times/ideas about cottage rental). Now, to play devils advocate, the topic is tiny, and fairly esoteric. But as many people have pointed out in the past, hard drive space is cheap. This article is not vanity or factually wrong so is basically harmless IMHO. I hope you understand my position better. Burgundavia 07:40, May 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * I think we also need articles on Car Rental, Video Rental and Beach Chair Rental to be fair and comprehensive. Plus Suit Hire and Wedding Dress Hire of course. Alternatively, a Delete would be good. -- EuroTom 13:57, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Insignificant. Takes a clause out of everyday conversations and attempts to make an encyclopedic article out of it. Not buying it. -- Stevietheman 17:11, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. What a foolish topic for an encyclopedia article.Denni 17:04, 2004 May 18 (UTC)
