[edit] Zip cube (second nomination)

The article has already survived an AfD a year ago. The result was a no consensus. Since then, there has been only two edits to the page, one doing basic wikifying (no content added) and one tagging it as uncategorized. Per WP:CORP#Criteria for products and services this does not seem to merit its own entry and I would be hard pressed to say what sort of encyclopedic value the article could have in the future if it is expanded. As far as I understand this firestarter is no different, in its composition, then your everyday firestarter. Pascal.Tesson 22:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Plenty of reasons per nom - No more bongos 23:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• NOTE. The nominator moved the original AfD discussion. I've tried to fix it, but as a non-admin I can't move the renamed original AfD back to where it came from. It can be seen here. Agent 86 00:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Very weak keep. What makes me say the weakest of keeps is that the article cites this product as being a top seller. I don't think we're supposed to be "North Ameri-centric" (and the product is sold in N.Am. in any event). I think at one time, before gas barbeques came to dominate, this product may have been "so well-known that its trademark has suffered from genericization" per WP:CORP. However, I suspect the better option is to Merge this into Barbecue#Charcoal, Briquette, or Kerosene. Agent 86 01:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep We have a reference to let us meet WP:VERIFY - and to the above comment, gas barbeques dominate? They certainly don't in the UK.... LinaMishima 02:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, leading brand in Ireland. Kappa 11:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
