[edit] Ah-So

• Merge and redirect to an article on the company if that is notable, otherwise delete. Thryduulf 21:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable as a sauce. Might be notable as a phrase with important historical and cultural connotations. I remember "Ah-so" as the phrase "Oh! I see!" that Hirohito used over and over after WWII. Flying Jazz 00:24, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep valid condiment like ketchup. The phrase ah so is common in Japanese, but since Wikipedia is not a phrase book, there doesn't seem to be much need for an article on it. Fg2 02:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, NN and advertisement. I thought it was going to be about the corkscrew. Now then, the phrase is common in Japanese? Like, if I go to Tokyo I'll hear people using it while speaking Japanese to each other? ♥ «Charles A. L.»

• In light of what User:Ohconfucius say ... er, says, weak keep; but it needs work since it's still an ad–♥ «Charles A. L.» 12:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

• Ah so??. New England sauce listed and ranked #511 on Amazon.com (about the same as marmite on Amazon), and may well justify keeping based on name recognition. Ohconfucius 09:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
