[edit] Mentos eruption

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Mentos eruption, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at Talk:Mentos eruption. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Mentos eruption

Hi, thank you for contributing the info on Mentos eruptions. I think that this information could be merged with the main Mentos article, as it is currently only a couple of paragraphs. Let me know what you think. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 21:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


Thanks for your message. True, it could be merged with the mentos article. I just want to contribute so that's fine. It could be a separate article, don't you think? The mentos article is in the breath mints and confectionery categories. But mentos eruptions is a science article. Also there is quite a bit of information available about the phenomenon from a variety of sources (but probably not enough in the article). And even two wikipedia science articles mention coke/mentos experiments (Gum arabic and Nucleation). These science articles mentioned it before I even started the mentos eruption article. Would you want to keep it as a separate article if it were longer? Besides length is there any other reason why it should be merged? I sure that it could be written better since I'm new at this. Any help is very much appreciated. -Tori (Toritaiyo 04:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Re: Mentos Eruption

Hello! Śince I do not really know about the topic, I can't say which external links are more useful. One video only would be nice (contrary to the three videos that are around, plus a site renowned only for holding the video). As for the tricks part, Wikipedia is not a publisher for original inventions, nor original research. Thus, unless a reliable site (CNN, eWeek, New York Times, etc) have an article about those tricks, they should not be listed. We can't have non notable inventions. Hopefully that clarifies the matter. -- ReyBrujo 15:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mentos eruption

I cleaned up your external references a little and added a link to Mentos and Coke in the News[1] which should provide you with enough information to do a complete footnoted profile of the topic. You may want to rename the article to The Mentos and Coke Experiment because it is not the mentos that are erupting and the title The Mentos and Coke Experiment is clearer regarding the topic.
