This was the message on my talk page:

“ Dear Wikipedia Administrator,

Please do not delete the article "Nabs" (Snack Cracker) co-authored by myself. Since Aug of 2006 this article has been created for the sole purpose of defining this term, with sources cited directly from Nabisco & Lance Inc. No other such article exists anywhere that can be found on the world wide web.

Since mid-Oct 2006 an Indian firm referred to as "NABS INc.", rather than creating their own article in Wikipedia, decided to vandalize this one for the sole purpose of marketing their company, which already has its own website (http://www.nabs.com). Responsible contributors who performed these unauthorized and malicious modifications were "Ekeeran", "Ashwathaman", "125.22.158.109", & "59.144.22.194".

Thanks and best regards.

Ms. Christina Fellows, Executive Representative Kraft Foods, ~~TLXEA_13861319~~N

  • Delete per nom. wtfunkymonkey 02:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wiktionary as it's basically a dicdef: "nabs, slang for snack crackers, from Nabs brand crackers formerly made by Nabisco". Better keep an eye on the page in case the Indians show up again. --Dhartung | Talk 02:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki, lock article page to prevent recreation from either Kraft's marketing lackeys or "the Indians." Simões (talk/contribs) 02:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and Salt No evidence of notability, unverified/urban dic def. Corporate cronies must be made to understand that Wikipedia is not an avenue for advertising or settling trademark disputes. -- IslaySolomon | talk 03:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • delete Ms Fellows makes the BEST case for deletion I have ever read, even if that was not her intention. Creating an article to simply to invent a term??? Sounds like a direct violation of WP:NOR. Ms. Fellows should be directed there to understand how Wikipedia works before creating further such articles. --Jayron32 04:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I agree with your general sentiment, but it should be noted that this term has existed for far longer than the article, and most likely longer than Ms. Fellows. ScottW 21:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I can actually see a decent article on this topic, but it's hard to advocate keeping this one. The subject is fairly notable, being one of those brand names that develop into a generic name. Throughout the Southern US, this is an easily recognizable term that, while it's a step below in outside recognition, it's a step above the moon-pie in commonality. It would be nice if there were a good place to redirect this for now, but I can't really think of where. Maybe Cracker (food), but that still doesn't seem quite right. ScottW 21:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
reply I would have no problem with a redirect to the cracker article, since this is just a subset of the cracker concept. Perhaps a 1-sentance mention in that article, if we can get a third party verification of this word as real. --Jayron32 21:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Ms. Fellows should be arranging to have this page created on the Kraft Foods homepage, not here on Wikipedia. --Dennisthe2 23:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and tell the Kraft people to read WP:NOR if they wish to make further contributions (as suggested by Jayron). --Matthew Humphreys 11:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Ms. Fellows seems to be a hoax. My guess is that if Kraft Foods wanted to act on any Wikipedia page, they'd go thru an Office Action. --RoninBKETC 10:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
