Non notable product. DimaG (talk) 01:29, 15 March 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - per WP:N, "significant coverage in independent reliable sources". Subject of academic study published in MedScape here.  The abstract of this AAP article suggests it deals with the topic in depth ("Vapocoolant sprays (Ethyl Chloride, Fluori-Methane) provide almost immediate analgesia for immunization and venipuncture").  It appears to be the leading, or a leading, skin coolant per The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (not significant coverage, but use of the Fluori-Methane as the chief example of the class of medicines known as "skin coolants").  Physical Therapy has another academic exploration of the product here. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per DustFormsWords, and props are due to him for his research on the matter. Ray  Talk 02:22, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. weakly. DustFormsWords's research suggests that vapocoolant or skin coolant are notable subjects that probably need an article, but not this particular product.  Flag for expert attention and likely merger candidate if kept. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep; largely agreeing with Smerdis here, if this is kept it needs a lot of work. Thanks to Dust for the research; would you be willing to spruce this article up a bit as well? Hers fold  (t/a/c) 17:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep agree with Hersfold, needs work but seems notable.  fetch  comms  ☛ 00:29, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
