[edit] Cardboard box

Oh, please. Come on. ♥♥purplefeltangel♥♥ 23:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete even though I know I'll get outvoted. Any noun pretty much gets voted keep. —Wahoofive (talk) 23:06, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
    • UncleG's rewrite has not changed my vote. Most of this is covered on Cardboard, and the article confuses solid cardboard (such as jigsaw puzzles), paperboard (such as cereal boxes), and corrugated cardboard. —Wahoofive (talk) 18:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not encyclopedic. --Trovatore 23:07, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not an environmental issue like plastic shopping bags nor apparently otherwise significant. Gazpacho 23:19, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Article is obvious to anyone who knows the definition of cardboard and box. --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 23:26, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Cardboard, since pretty much everything covered in this article is covered there. —HorsePunchKid→龜 00:04, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. At the moment the article doesn't look much, but there is a lot that could be written: box design, stacking rules, removable panels, rip features, cutting processes, printing processes etc. My partner works in manufacturing and says "there is so much to know" about the subject.

  • Strong keep. per GeorgeStepanek. StarryEyes 01:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Note that Article has been significantly expanded by User:Uncle G. Nice work. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:57, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep in present form. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:57, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • strong keep on rewrite. Definitely encyclopedic. — brighterorange (talk) 02:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Uncle G's rewrite and expand. Common object which may be humble but does not mean it does not have encylopedic potential. Capitalistroadster 02:19, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Uncle G's rewrite, somewhat reluctantly (I still wonder if this couldn't be merged into packaging or some such, but I have to admit it's a significant article now). --Trovatore 03:12, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep due to rewrite tv316 04:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Great rewrite! --Jacquelyn Marie 05:05, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - If we catch you in the backseat trying to pick her locks/we're gonna send you home to mother in a cardboard box!/You better run!  BD2412 talk 14:36, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Contains notable, verfiable (and interesting) information. --BenjaminTsai 15:16, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. nn (notable noun, that is :) ). Good outside-the-box, so-obvious-you-would-forget-to-write-it article. Youngamerican 03:10, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I originally created the article, and I feel that although it could most certainly do with being expanded and more useful information being added (as many people have done so excellantly already), it should not be deleted as there is much more to be said than just what has already been stated on the pages for "cardboard" and "box". For example, the appearance of cardboard boxes in contemporary art such as the new "Embankment" exhibition at the Tate Modern in London. 80.42.140.213 09:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
