[edit] Cherio
Does not apear to be noteable. Attempted to find some kind of a reference on Google, but found nothing actually refering to the drink - is therefore unverified, not easily verifiable and not easily expandable either. Blood red sandman 15:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete Fails WP:V. Irongargoyle 16:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)- Very weak keep. It does exist; the reason Google knows nothing is that the drink (Japanese: チェリオ cherio) is officially called "Cheerio" in English, so the title is wrong. However, I cannot verify the claim that it's "no longer produced" -- the Cheerio Corporation's website seems to be advertising Cheerio soft drinks quite happily, and the Japanese Wikipedia article likewise says no such thing. Move the article to the correct name and delete that apparently-misleading claim, add the links from this comment, and we'd have a dicdef ("Cheerio is a Japanese soft drink brand"), an external link in Japanese, and an interwiki link from which the article could theoretically be expanded by translation. We've had worse. — Haeleth Talk 15:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, and move to Cheerio — I believe that the orange-flavored Cheerio in a glass bottle is the original Cheerio, as well as the grape-flavored one. I've seen them in the Japanese dagashiya's in the 1970's. Looking at the corporate website, it appears that the original Cheerio's have been reincarnated in plastic bottles. As for the Wikipedia article, it can be expanded further. Just because it's not as popular as Coca-Cola doesn't mean that it's not notable.--Endroit 16:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I've moved the article to Cheerio (drink) and expanded it a bit. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Nice Picture and article expansion Nihonjoe. Irongargoyle 23:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- I would like to withdraw my nomination - now that the article has been expanded it is in a useable state as an encyclopedic entry. - Blood red sandman 23:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
