Grinder Rules
Doesn't appear to be encyclopedic, if anything, merge into Chicago White Sox somehow Metros232 22:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable local advertising campaign. They sound better on the radio, when read by Kurtwood Smith, but they're not worth an article. Fan1967 22:19, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentThe article was written in response to many requests I have fielded from presons outside of the Chicago area who have shown interest in this particular ad campaign, because it is linked to a notable, and historic sporting event (or in this case, season). While this was my first such contribution, I find Fan-1967's rather biased opinion rude and uncultured.  If you believe that this is not worth an article, so be it, but I cannot believe that the management approves of such uncouth and unwarranted insults directed toward patrons and non-discriminatory content.

 * Comment I'm sorry, what did you consider to be such a "uncouth and unwarranted insult"? The "non-notable" or "not worth an article"? Which was "rude and uncultured"? Just curious. Fan1967 01:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as unencyclopaedic original research. Stifle (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Chicago White Sox. These 'rules' are from an advertising campign, but this is not original research. These rules are very popular with Sox fans (which I am one), but do not justify their own article. &mdash; Linnwood 00:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I don't think the rules should stay in Wikipedia. -- ReyBrujo 21:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentFor the record, the Kurtwood Smith comment sounded a bit opinionated. If it is the judgement of he powers that be that this is too local, or too "local" to be of interest, then feel free to delete it.  Considering some of the articles (as an example, I have seen articles for high schools that are hardly more researched than this, and far more local in flavor, as well as local entertainment personalities, that, at least IMO, would be far more worthy of deletion than this...though that's not my call to make.

 * Comment. I'm sorry you found the comment offensive, though I'm still puzzled at what bothers you. I thought it was a moderately well-done set of ads, and his reading of the lines made the radio commercials enjoyable. However, it was just a local ad campaign, and those generally aren't considered of interest outside the market. Fan1967 13:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge into Chicago White Sox. --Neverborn 06:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
