Real product, possibly popular, not notable. There is no significant coverage, and there is little hope of expanding this article past ingredients, sizes, and availability. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 02:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~ Comment. The article has eleven references (although I haven't carefully checked the content of those references). "Little hope of expanding this article" is not a reason for deletion; it's OK to have short articles, provided that the subject is notable. Jowa fan (talk) 05:42, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The "references" are links to the companies websites, links to blogs, links to pages that discuss caffeine but not the product, and one trivial mention in a list of products. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:51, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:Product or Redirect to Amway_Global#Products by same rationale. There is no established notability that singles out this individual product. --Tgeairn (talk) 03:01, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:59, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - and redirect to Amway_Global#Products. After several searches, not finding significant coverage in reliable sources. The references in the article aren't meeting GNG. No prejudice against recreation if the topic receives significant coverage in reliable sources in the future. Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Most of the sources are just entries in listings, which don't count toward notability. A redirect would be sufficient. Will Beback talk 19:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No redirect needed. Just another sweetened water product being pushed as a cure-all by its manufacturer, aimed at the human need to remain hydrated. Similar to Go Fast and Piranha also claiming to be the best, also up for deletion. Only difference is this one seems to be marketed a little better. If it makes it to giant status like Coke or Pepsi in regards to sales, or they last until their 50th anniversary, or God forbid some disaster necessitates a complete recall, then maybe it will be notable. Until such time, I consider the article to be too trivial. Ken Tholke (talk) 20:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with deletion and a redirect to Amway_Global#Products. There has been nothing new on the talk page since 2008 in the way of notability, per WP:N. It seems the only edits have consistently been unsigned IPs and it's only raison d'etre is marketing for the product. Micahmedia (talk) 20:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
