[edit] Fart extinguisher

Non-notable potty humor. 350 Ghits Mmx1 22:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per pretty much every reason you can think of. --BWD ^(talk) 22:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete poor quality toilet humour. Vanishingly few ghits, which is an indication of profound insignificance in anythign with "fart" in the name. Just zis Guy you know? 22:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I worked to make the stub more-encyclopedic in tone. Notable gag gift item that is littered across the American pop culture wasteland, from offices to shopping malls. youngamerican (talk) 00:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten by Youngamerican. This is potty humor for sure, but I don't see that as a reason to exclude its coverage. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • even rewritten, no additional evidence of notability. --Mmx1 08:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, the question is, how do you measure notability for a gag gift like this? I'm not so sure that Google hits are the best indicator and would rather err on the side of keep in this case, if that makes sense. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Notability is in the arse of the beholder. Keep. Grace Note 09:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable novelty item. No Guru 18:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Just because a particular thing can be purchased doesn't mean we should have an article on it. Friday (talk) 20:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Borderline Keep: a real thing and a unique brand, although silly and not especially notable. mikka (t) 23:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to flatulence humor which I just created. Booking563 21:29, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I still vote keep, but i like this option over deletion. youngamerican (talk) 00:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• keep please it is notable enough Yuckfoo 03:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge all of the joke novelty items to one page, a page for each and every possible variant on these products is a little much. --carlb 02:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
