[edit] Passion Pop

Delete unencyclopedic product description, with no hope of expansion. Perhaps its parent company deserves an article per WP:CORP, in which case this can simply be listed there and redirected, or if there is a list of alcoholic products sold in Australia it can be listed there. But there's no basis for this having its own article—it was created pursuant to college student vanity and all attempts to explain its significance have been totally worthless original "research" ("Passion Pop is extremely popular amoung [sic] students, for its price and ease of drinking. It sells particularly well in Victoria, and is frequently purchased from the discount liquor outlet Dan Murphys."[1]) See also this edit. Postdlf 14:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Zero citations. --Aaron 14:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, the only thing that pulls it out of G11-town are some uncited assertion. AB+C=D for delete. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Meets the requirements for product notability. Original speedy was nonsense.Cynical 22:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • If the product is notable, then the article needs to explain how and why and provide a source. Right now it doesn't do that, so Delete. Vectro 04:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There is probably a case for a disambiguation page. As well as this product, which seems to have been reasonably well covered with 43 hits on Ebbsco's Australia New Zealand database. According to a Google News Archive, it seems to be a generic name for a soft drink and even a surf movie [2]. It is almost a generic name for cheap wine as shown by the Canberra Times heading "Champagne bowling, passion pop batting". Capitalistroadster 03:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - if I remember this created quite a lot of media controversy... if you can find an article on this it would surely make it notable! (JROBBO 05:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC))
• Keep, infamous brand. Can hopefully be expanded. —Pengo ^{talk · contribs} 12:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• There are six unique Google hits for "Passion Pop" + "Golden Gate Wines" outside of Wikipedia.[3] For those who believe this article can be expanded (or even cited properly), please prove it. Thanks. Postdlf 12:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I think the reason for this is that the term "Passion Pop" has become somewhat genericised in Australia, and although the product is very well-known, it is not often associated with Golden Gate Wines. I've got some references, not much, but I'll add them. --Canley 01:39, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete existing doesn't make something encyclopedic.--Peta 00:18, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep reminds me of my teenage years quaffing this stuff when I didn't know any better. No Australian teenager doesn't know of Passion Pop. Lankiveil 00:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC).
• Keep and clean up (Canley's made a good start). Product is a staple of Australian teenage life. Natgoo 10:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
