 * Keep, I believe this chemical is notable - it was quoted in a US patent as an example of this type of dietry supplement. See this. &amp;dorno rocks. (talk) 13:56, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The differences between this chemical compound and creatine itself are not important in the context of effects on people because the active ingredient is the same regardless of salt form. Any notable information about this specific salt can be mentioned at the article for creatine, if necessary. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've got no problem with this suggestion. &amp;dorno rocks. (talk) 12:03, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to creatine Trivial salt of creatine; article is full of bad chemistry. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 12:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to creatine per Rifleman 82 – claims in US7129273 patent are dubious and cannot be considered a reliable source. Boghog (talk) 12:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with Redirect as long as the bad chemistry Rifleman mentioned is lost in the process. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2010 (UTC) (nominator)
