[edit] Slusho!

Slusho! (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is a compilation of trivial appearances of a fictional soda brand in JJ Abrams film. It deserves a one to two sentence reference in his article, not a whole article detailing trivia. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete non-notable. Only include in Abrams article (or others) if real world impact can be shown using reliable 3rd party sources. Otherwise it is just non-notable trivia. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • There a couple of RS websites that mention Slusho as part of the Cloverfield marketing campaign: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] (blog, but BusinessWeek blog), to list a few. There are no sources that I can find entirely devoted to Slusho, and the article is at the moment mostly in-universe. Given that the sources refer to Slusho in the context of viral marketing, perhaps this article could be merged into an as-yet-uncreated article, Cloverfield marketing campaign (or something similarly named), which given these sources and the sources at Cloverfield#Marketing, could be seen as having notability and real world importance. So redirect+merge if this is deemed possible, otherwise delete. GracenotesT § 13:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
