[edit] Sodastream

Non-notable product; article reads more like an advertisement Todd(Talk-Contribs) 08:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I am not sure we have a policy on household appliances but I'm sure this would make it. It is certainly widely-known in Scotland. Catchpole 09:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Some sources - [1], [2], [3]. Catchpole 09:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and merge info from Soda-Club. Yomangani^talk 09:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
  • The info from Soda-Club and Milkstream has been merged and the article has been rewritten and sources provided (Uncle G is at work, though yet to pop up here). Yomangani^talk 10:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 10:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - sound article about a notable if not particularly interesting subject. BTLizard 12:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep this was a "must have" back in the day. I must still have one somewhere... Guy 13:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but Wikify. Legis 14:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable product. Grutness...wha? 00:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Note that Soda Club was as part of the next AFD, merged here and turned into a redirect. If this is deleted, the closing admin here should also delete the redirect. GRBerry 02:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - surprised not to find anything on the device that basically pre-dates it, the soda syphon - hunted under all names I could think of. Ace of Risk 14:42, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • It gets a very brief mention (under the name seltzer bottle) in Carbonated water Yomangani^talk 14:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Look. I have a Super Mario Bros. Super Show VHS tape here somewhere. It has an advertisement of these things in the beginning. Damn corny one too. That was in late 1980s/early 1990s. The chances are that if you mention Sodastream to any random Nintendo fan in Finland nowadays, there's a good chance they'll laugh along. =) In other words, yeah, I've heard of them and they're probably pretty notable. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 15:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep A very famous product in the UK, especially in the 1970's and 80's. Article might need a bit of a polish, but not deletion. - X201 15:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As others have stated, this was an iconic product of the 1970s/80s in the UK. It featured as such in the recent series of decade-by-decade television programmes (the title of which I'm currently blanking on, sorry). Espresso Addict 17:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • "I love the 70's". Although the Wikipedia entry is just full of the US version. - X201 22:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, that was it. Though Sodastream doesn't seem to have made it to the website, it was definitely included in one of the programmes. Espresso Addict 23:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
      • I suggest that both of you read the encyclopaedia article that you are discussing more closely. ☺ Uncle G 11:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
        • Just explaining your point would be more civil. - X201 12:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
          • That was a perfectly civil suggestion. Uncle G 02:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
        • Ah, yes! I rarely read beyond the references. Espresso Addict 17:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
