Ginsu
Advert. As it says its "from the Press Release." Delete. Mwanner 17:17, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC). (note: copyvio version deleted.--Duk 06:39, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC))
 * I've tagged and bagged it as a copyvio. Delete one way or another.  Notable subject, though. - Lucky 6.9 18:17, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and make encyclopedic. Ginsu Knives are notable. Klonimus 18:41, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yeah, what Klonimus said. They slice! They dice! They even julienne! FreplySpang (talk) 19:47, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) I agree that the copyvio should be dealt with. But you can't fry a copyvio on a diamond ring! Oops, wrong infomercial. FreplySpang (talk) 20:22, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Watch as these amazing knives cut through an aluminum soda can !!! Klonimus 00:55, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but this has to be deleted first to get it out of the edit history. I may tackle this one myself at the temp page but if someone else gets the urge, dig in.  NOW how much would you pay? - Lucky 6.9 19:48, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment An incredible bargain for only four easy payments of 19.95!!! Operators are standing by! Klonimus 00:55, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete copyvio, but keep any redlinks. Chris talk back 22:08, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but rewrite as needed. BTW if it is indeed copied from a press release, to my knowledge that does not constitute a copyvio as such material is intended (in theory) to be reprinted verbatim pretty much anywhere. If it comes from an actual copyrighted source, then that's a different matter.23skidoo 22:16, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't answer, because if you call in the next ten minutes, we'll throw in the amazing Ronco Yak Milker absolutely free! I sense a BJAODN coming on... - Lucky 6.9 00:59, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Why don't you tell the VfD audience more about your amazing new invention Klonimus 04:20, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed! You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!  Yes, it's a new article at Ginsu/Temp.  AMAZING LOW PRICE! - Lucky 6.9 04:23, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's the Quick & Easy way to eliminate copyright violations! Full GFDL warranty included.  Tell me: Is it available in the shops, or can our audience get it by using the number hyperlink on their screens?  (Don't forget to fix the redlink at infomercial.)  What's that number, again?

 * Delete, copyright violation, advert. Megan1967 07:28, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment (if you can call it that): That number again is "Delete, copyright violation, advert."  Call now for this amazing television offer!  If you're not satisfied, return the delete for a full refund but keep the Ronco Yak Milker as our gift! (Love ya, Meg.  Really.  I genuinely respect your voting record.) - Lucky 6.9 20:57, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
