Soft drink dependence
Not verifiable. Google shows nothing. Delete unless credible sources cited. brenneman (t) (c) 12:09, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup and Merge with Soft drinks page. I googled it and it is a real issue and with proper research and explanation, in my opinion, it can be a topic found on Wikipedia. After that, it doesn't warrant its own page and should be merged with Soft drinks. tv316 13:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC) Was unaware of the Soda Vandal and his previous actions. Delete and protect against recreation. tv316 17:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup and Merge per tv316. --MacRusgail 14:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Do not merge. This might be another contribution from the "soft drink vandal" who kept aggressively adding unsourced and POV-pushing articles about soft drink addiction, etc. some months ago. There's nothing to merge, as the article is basically content-free. "It is debatable whether soft drinks cause a chemical/physical addiction or whether the act of drinking soft drinks is habit forming" is simply an effort to insinuate a point of view without defending it. Note that this article can be used as a template for producing any number of equally useless articles, since any point of view can be stated as a definition and then said to be "debatable." See following example. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:16, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Post-it note dependence is a dependence on memo slips backed with weak and removable adhesive. It is debatable whether the use of such slips does or does not cause impotence, reduced gas mileage, and global warming.


 * Delete, protect against re-creation. The "Soda vandal" is back. Pilatus 17:29, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete returning orignal research. Soft drinks contain dependency-inducing ingredients that we already have articles about, but do not cause dependency per se. Gazpacho 17:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Unless someone objects by tomorrow, I'm going to speedily delete this as vandalism. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 18:19, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Killing it right now. I guess I'll have to contact his ISP again, this guy is very determined. Dmcdevit·t 23:25, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
