Cup drink

When I accepted this in 2014 I hoped that it would be improved, was even a 'thing'. It had then, as can be seen, a better than 50% chance of not being deleted. Now we have a non notable dictionary definition flagged for more references everywhere.

 * Delete. This is an odd case as this is obviously something that exists, and it is "notable" in the sense that most people (at least in North America?) know  what it is. But I am utterly unable to find any reliable sources that discuss it. The current sourcing is appallingly poor, just a bunch of shopping links to brands that sell cup drinks, and all of the actual encyclopedic information is unsourced. I would say that it should be merged somewhere, but there are no sources, so that is pointless. I wonder if there is a special term for this in manufacturing and if it might be possible to find some decent sources if one knows the terminology. But I wasn't able to find anything useful by searching for things like "juice cup with foil lid", "foil seal juice cup", etc. So I will have to vote delete, since the article fails WP:V.

 * , They exist in my local supermarket, and I can verify them by walking about, but that is no good to us. Fiddle   Faddle  21:24, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable and not verifiable. I can't find any helpful Ghits for this as a regional thing or any kind of industry term.  --Lockley (talk) 23:51, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable --Devokewater  @  10:26, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Utter cobblers! Only 'referenced' by manufacturer or retailer websites (of which, some links now dead). Fails on far too many counts... -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:45, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not remarkable even from my point of view Olaf Kosinsky (talk) 08:25, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable, feels promotional to me. Balle010 (talk) 18:23, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL and WP:EXISTS. It's a thing, an ordinary thing. Just because something exists, does not make it notable. Bearian (talk) 00:20, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Run-of-the-mill. Maybe there's scope for someone to write a definitive work on the history of the cup drink, and perhaps such a book would go on to be a best seller. If so, that would be a great source for a Wikipedia article. But in the mean time, no. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 08:41, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
