[edit] CankerMelts
Notability/advertising
I'm not sure about the suitability of this article. It was created and has been edited by only one user (WP:COI?) The user account appears to have been created for the sole purpose of creating this article and inserting references to this product in other articles. This is my first AfD nomination and I feel this subject requires discussion. On the other hand, I feel that the information is notable enough and it would be a shame to lose it fom Wikipedia. So, in spite of the fact that I have nominated it, I shall place a a keep vote for it.TINYMARK 16:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep-As above! TINYMARK 16:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep If you think this article has merit, you didn't need to take it to AfD in the first place. You could have placed {{coi}}, {{advert}}, or other similar maintenance tags on instead, as conflict of interest doesn't necessarily warrant deletion.

- Meh. TinyMark, your concerns are warranted; this is not a good article. I'd redirect to glycyrrhiza myself. The reliable sources point to generic studies of the active ingredient, not necessarily the product itself. There are many brand name medicines that do not have their own articles on Wikipedia, but are listed as a sold-under name on the article about the drug/etc. itself. --Dhartung | Talk 21:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
