Jag är Ipren - Den intelligenta värktabletten
Only 960 hits on Google, and none of those seem to be in English. Delete as a non-notable foreign something rather. JHMM13 08:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Has any consensus been established about whether proprietary pharmaceuticals are notable or not? - Randwicked 09:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Further Comment. A google search for Ipren gives 41,400 results. This is a Swedish ibuprofen. Redirect as such. - Randwicked 09:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Judging from the title, this is not primarily intended to be about the pharmaceutical, but about the TV commercial that comes with it. This explains the relatively few Google hits - "Jag är Ipren - Den intelligenta värktabletten" ("I am Ipren - the intelligent painkiller") is an exact quote from the song sung by the dorky man dressed as a pill, the "Ipren man" (in the picture). It is a notable campaign in Sweden. I don't know what the policy is on articles on TV commercials, but since this isn't really an article to begin with, I vote delete. If somebody is willing to write a decent stub, I would reconsider. Ipren could be redirected to Ibuprofen (but it is now a redirect to Irpin' for reasons not explained in that article). I am skeptical to redirecting this whole phrase. u p p l a n d 10:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, a specific advertising campaign is not encyclopedic. &mdash; J I P  | Talk 10:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn. Transwiki if our Swedish friends want it. Youngamerican 15:36, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to re-creation unless more context is given to establish notability. This is, after all, the English language Wikipedia; foreign language pop-culture phenomena need to be explained if they have no English language notoriety yet.  Would cheerfully keep an expanded article, or a new article that explains its context in Sweden.  Probably ought to be moved to Ipren in any case; English language readers are unlikely to search for "Jag är Ipren. . ." Smerdis of Tlön 16:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I've made Ipren a redirect to Ibuprofen for now. - Randwicked 13:25, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
