The history of the stubby cooler

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A supposed history of the stubby holder (aka Beer koozie). I would suggest merging to Beer Koozie except that the content is completely unsourced and frankly unencyclopaedic Mattinbgn\talk 21:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Get rid of it fast. Tells a nice little story about a guy who "enjoyed the odd drink or two", but it's not an article. No sources, no hint of relevance, no chance this will ever be an article. Chrisahn (talk) 21:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete I could find no evidence that any of the info is true. Likely a hoax. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I would say merge to Beer koozie, but the article is awful and unsourced. And Thaddeus is right, there is a possibility of a hoax, which is exacerbated by the lack of results I could find. Thanks,  Genius  101 Guestbook  21:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I recommended for speedy (and was successful on French Wikipedia where the same article was posted). GHITS show no proof that any person by that name was involved in the development of the koozie, so no need to merge.      JCutter  { talk to me }    22:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete smells suspiciously of a WP:HOAX -- not mentioned in any reliable sources. I can't find any mention of this anywhere on the Internet.  tempo di valse  [☎]  23:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems hoaxy, no need to merge this unsourced material with anything. Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC).

-there is a source, an interview between Malcolm Lock and Roger Carthew -the stubby holder was invented by Malcolm Lock on 1972 and not by Wes Cresswell on 1976 -it's to old to find information about that on Internet -the stubby holder is an 100% Australian creation -beer koozie and stubby holder aren't the same product because each belong to different culture —Preceding unsigned comment added by Romain37550 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * HangonThis is the real history of the stubby cooler, Why:
 * Delete - I am rather sure that this is bollocks. I think (and a dictionary from the 1980s backs this up) that stubby coolers were polystyrene in the 1970s and that the neoprene is much more recent - reckon that this article is simply untrue - Peripitus (Talk) 07:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete total bollocks Nick-D (talk) 08:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It's likely a hoax. However, on the slim chance that it's real, it fails WP:OR, WP:SOAP and a handful of other guidelines. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 14:33, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, choose your poison: WP:HOAX, WP:OR, etc. Plenty of very good reasons to delete.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC).
