 * Delete per nom. Cannot see any evidence that the boxing club ostensibly named after the fictional company is not simply a coincidence, the personal care product company's website citation appears defunct, and the only remaining citation is literally WP:GOOGLE. Even if these two businesses were truly named after the fictional one, they are not notable, and I saw no sources suggesting that the fictional company has had any cultural relevance otherwise. Although even if I had, that would only have justified a recommendation to merge to Fight Club, but this isn't worthy of even that. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 08:57, 20 September 2022 (UTC) Seeing the sources that have been dug up, I suppose I'm neutral on a merge, but I'm okay with a redirect. If the option of merging or redirecting to Fight Club is supported by everyone else, then sure. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 23:05, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to Fight Club. There is You Do Not Talk About Fight Club, doing some discussion, and with "The Politics of Boredom" a secondary source attesting to some cultural impact. So this should be treated in some form on Wikipedia, though I guess that's not enough for a standalone article. Daranios (talk) 10:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Daranios. I trust he did a good review of sources available. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 14:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: don't really see anything significant here. I get that people reference Palaniuk's work in general, but that's appropriately covered at the main Fight Club article. At best, these minor references are references to the overall work, and nothing significant about the fictional concept within the work. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:15, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: The first source is more an analysis of soap imagery in the film in general, and the second source is a passing mention. The existence of real-life companies means nothing; virtually any fake product from popular media will have someone making webpages, unauthorized T-shirts, etc. for it.

 * Redirect to Fight Club per and  possibly with very selective merging, but I also concur with Delete per nom if that's more popular. A WP:BEFORE search shows WP:GNG failed, we could merge some referenced content to Fight Club. Still, given that the refs cover this very trivially with just two mentions, at best we could only merge there with a very short one or two sentence mention. VickKiang 22:48, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fight Club as a plausible search term. I'm really not seeing anything currently in the article that would be appropriate for an actual merger. I have no issues if any of the information in the sources brought up above is added to the target article, but since that information is not currently in this one, a merger would not be necessary for that.
