Toxic Waste (confectionery)

Declining db-spam since the article has been around a couple of years; Google hits suggest the candy might have entered popular culture sufficiently, but I can't tell. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 04:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Insufficient notability. Keep The coverage is slight. But the sources Caspian came up with are enough. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep because the product seem to be gaining "sufficiently notability" according to google news hits.--Caspian blue 18:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Those are all press releases. If there is any substantial coverage from reliable sources please add it to the article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, not every news are "press releases".--Caspian blue 19:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If you find good sources, I will change my vote to keep. But I looked at the google new sites you mentioned ealier and didn't see anything. And the first one of the links you mention now I checked out from the Washington Post isn't even about this candy.  It says, "Even the Toxic Waste Sour Candy spray with a rat finger puppet on top was a hit. (It tastes better than it sounds, we promise.) "I love sour stuff," said Brandi Moore, 10. "I took five sprays" of Toxic Waste." But this article is about a hard sour candy. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. this one was also fun. I'm not an inclusionist, exactly, but I think it makes sense to have different inclusion standards for candy than for say software.  If a lot of large newspapers are running stories that mention the candy, if only to say "Wow, that's sour!", that's about as notable as most candies are ever going to get. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 22:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
