[edit] Sex_Wax

This is an add for a product and serves no purpose. Perhaps it would be best changed to "Surf Wax" but "Sex Wax" is a brand. Pope 19:54, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Sex Wax has been around since the late '60s and is quite well-known. Potential to add further info about their drumstick wax and the mysterious Mr. Zog. Article just needs expansion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:17, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable enough, advertisement, dictionary definition. Megan1967 00:57, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • In order: (a) Googling "Sex Wax" returns over 13,000 google hits. [1] (b) This article is a stub and hardly qualifies as a product advertisement; nothing here indicates puffery, hype, or spam. (c) Does not qualify as a dictdef by any means. Please do not take this as a personal attack, but your repeatedly baseless delete votes have become an eyesore. GRider\^talk 17:16, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, well known item from surf culture, will improve with expansion. Could also be merged with surfwax--nixie 00:59, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Starblind & nixie. Samaritan 06:02, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I grew up in a beach town with a lot of surfers, and I can tell you firsthand that this is indeed notable. Szyslak 06:07, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• keep supprised that it wasnt allready added, shoud be expanded as well. --Boothy443 06:09, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Obvious keep. Allow for organic growth and expansion. GRider\^talk 17:16, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Another obvious keep. I, too, grew up near the beach and Dr. Zog's Sex Wax stickers were on every other notebook at my high school. Apparently, the stuff works. Their slogan, BTW, is "Rub some on your stick." - Lucky 6.9 17:31, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Sex Wax is to surfboard wax as Heinz is to ketchup or Scotch is to sticky tape. I'd feel a lot happier if this entry started out as a short article, but I'll hope for expansion. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:34, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Yet another keeper for me. —RaD Man (talk) 19:51, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I remember using it when I was younger. It's definitely notable, albeit maybe about a topic with which a lot of people are not familiar ... but hey, that's what wikipedia's for. I hope it grows. TIMBO (T A L K) 01:26, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. As noted above, this has reasonable technical and cultural significance, and is an acceptable stub now. Jgm 03:08, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I added some details. This product's significance goes beyond its use on surfboards. -Willmcw 08:40, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. -- Karada 08:43, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Dude, Sex Wax is the shit, and has been the shit for years! —Brim 06:38, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep part of pop culture --JPotter 08:52, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep famous brand in the industry & pop culture - Jasoncart 11:39, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability certainly established. --Idont Havaname
