[edit] notability

This guy is not notable. Sources cited are blog and vanity site, not WP:Reliable Sources by far. plz add some better sources and establish WP:Notability else article will be Afd'ed. Rumpelstiltskin223 22:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I have added a Toronto Star article, I am working on getting more. (I have read the full article listed, not just the excerpt). Nzgabriel 22:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

He is notable. The fact that many people know about and try the Soda Gyser (Mentos put into Diet Coke) means that he is notable because he created that experiment. Armyrifle 11:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

The Mentos demo was first done by Lee Marek.

The explanation for the reaction on Spangler's page was clearly plagiarized from an article that has been posted since October 1999 in General Chemistry Online Why do Mentos mints foam when you drop them into soda pop?, which was cited in the spring 2001 issue of Chemistry, a publication of the American Chemical Society. 131.118.85.202 21:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

This page seems like it was likely written by Spangler himself. Some of the information is completely irrelevant to someone who is not particularly notable, parts of it seem designed to air a grudge he seems to have with another company. 67.165.232.130 (talk) 00:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
