The result was redirect to Vi-Jon Laboratories. Redirect, without prejudice to discussions of merging selected content into the target article. I'd suggest taking up that issue on the Talk page of the Vi-Jon page if there are disagreements. joe decker ^talk 21:59, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge to Vi-Jon Laboratories, which presently has only one sentence about the product and will thus improve that article. Interestingly, per this St. Louis Public Radio article, Germ-X is a "very popular" product, but overall source coverage may not be adequate to support a standalone article. This scholarly source from the Journal of analytical toxicology provides significant coverage. Some book sources found include [1], [2], [3], but the depth of coverage is not significant. This source from KCBD News provides around a few paragraphs about the topic. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there is nothing notable about this brand - not a darn thing. It is just another antimicrobial product. Delete and salt. Jytdog (talk) 17:53, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I do use this, and it works pretty well (and isn't that expensive). That doesn't make it nearly notable enough for an article. As Jytdog said there really isn't anything that gives this notability. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:55, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and then Redirect as this is actually a nationally known brand and is certainly known but there's at best nothing to suggest its own currently notable and improvable article thus delete and redirect to the company. SwisterTwister talk 18:17, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to Vi-Jon Laboratories, where readers can find relevant information on the subject. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:58, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
