Single use foodservice packaging

Contested prod. Essay. Was also tagged db-spam, but that has little chance of success. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 13:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Definitely not spam, but clearly an essay. Delete.  Comes off as a bit of a coat rack for environmental concerns thereunto pertaining. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 14:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Change vote to keep, largely as per WP:AGF. Still essay flavored, but if the author is willing to work on it like this, then yeah, we can keep it. =) -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 18:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - The current article is poorly written, but I believe an article on the topic, either at Single use foodservice packaging or at Foodservice packaging, is most likely appropriate. It seems that a lot of research and testing goes into foodservice packaging, and there are even awards for foodservice packaging. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  16:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We do have a really awesome, NPOV and well-sourced article at Packaging and labeling. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think it's the same topic. From what I understand, the article we are discussing here is more about the wrapper around your Big Mac, or the styrofoam plates they give you at the mall's food court. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I just want to confirm that, while the names might be similar, single use foodservice packaging is not the same thing as the packaging you find on grocery store shelves. I am sorry for any confusion (ironically, the confusion is the reason I wanted to write this article). Thank you again for your time and consideration. Hrundle (talk) 15:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It might have started with an essay-style tone but this is definitely viable as a WP article. Restaurant packaging is just part of daily life, and only a portion of the article is about environmental issues; it's mostly cost and sanitary reasons.  Remember that Wikipedia is not the New Yorker; the nuts and bolts of restaurant management is a perfectly fine topic here. Squidfryerchef (talk) 20:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I am the author. I made some changes (deleted some portions) and added more content on the history of single use foodservice packaging and the materials used. I left a mark on the page to please hold and reconsider, but it was removed for some reason. If you able to, please consider reviewing the article again. I would really like to get this right. Thank you for your time and comments. Hrundle (talk) 15:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
