Topic does not meet the WP:GNG because there is not significant coverage in reliable third party sources about it. The rest of the article is almost all original research. This is an typical deletion case where there is a short dictionary definition with questionable sources, supporting a massively unsourced list. The way this is fundamentally constructed fails WP:NOT, WP:OR, and WP:V, among others. Jontesta (talk) 18:05, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep – There is sufficient 3rd-party coverage linked in the references. --Zac67 (talk) 18:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to Marlboro since the fictional cigarettes are clearly stated to be based on the real cigarette brand, just with a different name. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:27, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Marlboro per Zxcvbnm. I actually had seen this discussion a couple days ago, and just could not come up with a decent solution. There was some coverage, for sure, but the actual sourced content all really boiled down to "its a fake brand of cigarettes based off of Marlboro that is used as a prop in many productions to avoid legal/royalties issues", which is not very much. Merging to Marlboro, the brand that it is clearly modeled after and based on, is a great target to include the information on its fictional counterpart. Of course, I am advocating that only the sourced information in the lead and "Justification" sections to be merged - the extensive list of non-notable trivia should absolutely not be merged along with it.

 * Merge to Marlboro per Zxcvbnm. The existence of this parody is of note, but the current list of trivia examples fails WP:IPC. I am not concinved there's stand-alone notability, since the best sources we have are low quality newspieces that may fail WP:RS. My BEFORE failed to find any serious, in depth discussion in reliable sources. What we have is enough for a short section in Malboro, yes, but stand-alone article is iffy, given the low quality of covearge so far. Ping me if better sources are found. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  09:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per all. Does not meet the WP:GNG without WP:SIGCOV. Would be appropriate to delete but the community has identified a decent target, if someone wants to focus on what the sources actually say. Shooterwalker (talk) 12:47, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
