Mantis (color)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable shade of green. Only usage seems to be a one-line entry in a catalogue of 2000 colors; far short of the GNG. bobrayner (talk) 21:35, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable name for a shade of green. A mention of the shade itself should be made at Green. Sp33dyphil  "Ad astra" 10:00, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I have attempted to search for any reliable source coverage for this commercial term, and have not had any luck. This fails WP:GNG.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete all. Color names are chosen arbitrarily and different at each paint manufacturer. There is no standard on what each color should be named (if anything, colors are defined by a Pantone number). Moreover, some of these color articles have no content other than a weak dicdef (WP:NOTDIC). -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:07, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
