List of fictional brands in South Park
Original research, speculation. Brian G. Crawford 17:43, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not so much because the article is original research or particularly speculative, but because it's simply unnecessary listcruft. -- Kicking222 17:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep As it is neither OR (the show is an obvious primary source material) nor speculation (anyone with eyes that watches the show can see the brands). It may be listcruft, but meh, so what.  Actually, I'll go further: the use of fictional brands in South Park is obvious satire of product placement in other shows and is a signifigant part of the shows appeal.  It goes beyond Fony brand TV sets to entire embedded commercials like Mr Hanky's playset done with real actors.  It is a notable phenonemon that products like Cheezy Poofs went on to actual existance after appearing as fictional in the show. SchmuckyTheCat 18:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is no less important than half of the articles on wikipedia. The use of satire in the brand names is something Mark Twain could be proud of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.124.109.241 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep per STC. Couldn't have said it better myself. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 18:46, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - both as per the feline one and for the fact that a notable degree of wit and irreverance is clear in the name choices. That, I feel, distinguishes it from listcruft. Ac@osr 20:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per all keep votes. Grand  master  ka  21:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Buchanan-H  e  rmit™ .. SCREAM!!! ..[[Image:Flag of British Columbia.svg|24px]]..[[Image:Maple Leaf.svg|14px]] 00:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lovely list of pop trivia. -- JJay 18:25, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, documented, but still it leaves some bad taste in my mouth. -- ReyBrujo 21:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, do you even understand what "original research" means? Yikes.  Sometimes I wish a person had to demonstrate an understanding of some of these ideas before you can put something up for deletion... Cburnett 20:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Granted it's not the best article, but it doesn't hurt and that information would just be spread around as trivia anyway. --Bahati 21:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, and slap nominator. For great justice. 17:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
