DVD coaster

• Delete. Anonymous user created it to describe an improperly burned DVD. I removed the only link to it (from Coaster). Dusik 19:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. User:Mel Etitis replaced the deletable content with a useful redirect just one minute after the article's creation; why not leave it as a redirect? --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 19:33, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• I dunno, I've seen the term "coaster" used more than a few times in reference to DVD or CD burner and media performance, with statements such as "the drive makes a lot of coasters" or "this brand of DVD-R produced fewer coasters" sometimes showing up in reviews. I'm uncertain whether it really makes sense as its own article though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:07, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - coaster is more generic and already describes the badly-written CD or DVD. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 21:27, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Just zis Guy Bwithh
• Comment (but no vote): I've been told that a CD (and presumably also a DVD) placed in the microwave for 30 seconds or so takes on a really cool warped appearance that makes for a nice coaster. BD2412 T 02:32, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment before that, in the first second or so, the whole thing lights up with cool-looking lightning as the eddy currents induced in the metal layer of the disk burn the metal away. The disk is, of course, unusable afterwards so don't do this at home unless it's one of those ^&£@$€ing free AOL CDs. Tonywalton  | Talk
