  • Delete unless a lot of other info can be added. For example...what is it made of? Who makes it? Who designed it? Does it have any special sponsors? Nearly useless as it is. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
It was created 7 minutes ago. —BradV 21:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • True, but I'm a firm believer that a stub should have a lot more basic information than this does. I'm all for a keep vote if notability can be established. That's up to the original user to start off with a good stub based on some good research. I get the impression that this is a good faith effort based on the fact that this individual just purchased one of these toys and decided to write an article. Done that sort of thing myself, in fact. BUT...I added the requisite links, references and history. In short, this needs some due diligence. Off the soapbox I go.  :) PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:56, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The Kong is a fairly popular dog toy. This article seems like it would be useful, and the toy is also discussed in plenty of books, one of which calls it "possibly the best known dog toy in the world. I'll try adding some refs and stuff sometime later this weekend (although others are welcome to help out). Zagalejo^^^ 22:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per Zagalejo's sources, seems to be notable enough. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
