Paper bag
Ehh? --Doc (?) 15:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete (although I'm reluctant to delete "paper bags are often used for holding liquid if they're made of plastic"). I can't imagine anyone will come to an encyclopedia in order to look up the formula for the capacity of a crisp packet.  --RobertG &#9836; talk 16:02, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * A "paper bag made of plastic" is not a paper bag at all. It is a plastic bag. Uncle G 16:26, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was my point exactly - I meant to put BJAODN or LOL at the end of the brackets to make it clear I wasn't being entirely serious. --RobertG &#9836; talk 16:32, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - article needs expanding though.
 * Page history says above edit was by User:Eyeon --RobertG &#9836; talk 17:28, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. &mdash; Phil Welch 17:18, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Uncle G has dramaticaly improved this - removing the nonsense. All that is left, however, is the maths formula for the volume of a bag. Move to Volume of a bag or simmillar (the material is surely irrelevant to the maths)- if that's agreed than I'm happy to withdraw my nomination/or vote keep. --Doc (?) 17:29, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Handle in the same way that we handle cone, ice cream cone, and cone (geometry): Rename and disambiguate. An equal-weight disambiguation between plastic bag and paper bag (geometry) is one way. Uncle G 17:35, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
 * Agreed, Keep then --Doc (?) 18:12, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Uncle G's version. I am sure a useful argument could be written about paper bags but the original version wasn't it. Capitalistroadster 17:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep rewritten version. If/when someone writes an article about paper shopping bags, then we should move and disambiguate.  Until then, leave as is. -- Jonel 02:55, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep notable packaging. Klonimus 04:02, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Definetly notable so keep this. Actually, was quite informative... Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions`
 * Keep, encyclopedic topic. Those formulae make me smile. :-) Sjakkalle  (Check!)  08:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Excellent.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 09:00, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the cool wiki-effect by Uncle G-- Un focused 16:00, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP but Renamew/redirect or disambig as necessary &mdash; Paperbag (Container) ala Drum (Container) and check catagories. (Uncle G would have, N'est pas?)   [[User:fabartus || TalktoMe]] 03:13, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment -- A C Robin. I am interested in above comments. Obviously I was aware of the illogic of going from paper to plastic bags containing liquid. I did this because Paper Bag I thought was a better place to start. Thank you to whoever rewrote my mathematical formulae, I am not familiar with the format of formulae you use.
 * Anthony, I encourage you to (a) log-in to obtain for yourself a shiny new User:Anthony C Robin account, complete with talk page so that other Wikipedia editors can communicate with you easily; (b) read Help:Formula; and (c) lend a hand (bearing in mind our no original research policy) at other mathematical pages such as lens (geometry) (which your article caused the creation of) and at WikiProject Mathematics.
