[edit] Water balloon

Wikipedia is not a howto guide and this topic is too small to have it's own entry. The reference on Balloon should be enough. Nick Catalano _contrib ^talk 10:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. The how-to guide type text was a copyvio and removed. This seems perfectly fine as a reasonably sized stub. — TheKMan^talk 10:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

  I went ahead and added a few references. Also note that this article includes a description of a water bomb that is not a balloon, and methods of launching them that would be borderline irrelevant if merged into Balloon. — TheKMan^talk 18:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable item, but should be properly referenced. PJM 11:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if properly referenced. -- Grafikm_fr 11:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge it with Balloon. Seems like the best compromise to me. Al17 15:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not WP:V referenced.--Isotope23 15:10, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Don't think this article causes any damage. David | Talk 15:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is a very notable item, and this article has the potential to expand massively. Since the how to guide was removed this is a perfectly legitimate article. Tobyk777 16:15, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep It's hard to figure how this article could be below the "Delete" threshold when 50% of the items I bring up with the random-article link are not. Shyland 04:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
