Delicious no doubt but not an appropriate topic for an encyclopedia entry. Non-notable. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Bongomatic 05:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not really notable. Although I do suddenly have a craving for some, they are nice--Jac16888 (talk) 05:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Google turns up lots of sales sites and a couple of YouTubes, but no sign of independent coverage in reliable secondary sources. Rklear (talk) 05:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Surely there are books on candy. Who makes this product? What is the history? I lean towards concluding it's notable, despite the lack of web based coverage available on the subject. Where is a knowledgable sweet tooth when we need one? At worst I would think it would be best to merge it somewhere. ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I dug a little and it appears to have been a candy made by Lutti, which was bought by Leaf SAS [1], the French division of Leaf Candy Company, which has itself been subsequently been sold to a couple private investment companies. I think it would be worth including as one of their candies maybe? Here's a nice pic of the candies to inspire [2]. Or perhaps someone could create a expand the Pick n mix article? Not to be confused with the Pick 'n' Mix album by Lolly (singer). ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My tireless work on this important subject hasn't stopped. There is also a Cola bottles article on the candiies. Can it be merged there? ChildofMidnight (talk) 11:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect to Pick n mix per ChildofMidnight. The candy is non-notable, but the company is, so I see no harm in merging the candy article to the company article. Cunard (talk) 04:54, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Pick n mix discusses a sales technique for general merchandise, not a particular company or product line. It's not obvious how appropriate such a merge would be. Rklear (talk) 05:04, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed to merge/redirect to either Cola bottles or Leaf Candy Company. A short sentence in the Cola bottles article would suffice. I don't know much about this type of candy or these companies. A search on Google doesn't enlighten me either, so if a merge to one of these articles is implausible, I would support a delete as a last resort. Cunard (talk) 05:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe, but that topic may not be notable. Boston (talk · contribs) has placed a prod on it. I've done some searches on sources for cola bottles and so far have found no reliable sources. Cunard (talk) 06:58, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed the tag (before reading your comment). One step at a time. Let's combine these two articles and then consider a merge with the parent company. I'd like a chance to look into the subjects.ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cola Bottles are made by multiple companies - not all make Fizzy Blue Bottles - so I would oppose and merge to a company on that basis. These sweets(candy) need to be show that they are notable or maybe could be listed in an article on gum sweets. Nuttah (talk) 09:39, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good piont. I think a Gummies article makes sense and the first step of that is to combine these two. I'm open on whether to change the Gummi bear article to Gummies or Gummy candies or something like that, or whether to take out the other types of gummy candy fromt hat article and put those all together with these for a new article. But I think there's no reason to delete the history of these stubby articles that are best merged. ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:48, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Once they are combined there is also the possibility of merging it with a "Gummies" article. Right now the only article is Gummi bears which mentions the other types. But a renamed more general article (including gummi bears) or a separate article on the various types seems appropriate. There are of course books on these candies, so these are notable topics. I think a merge is quite reasonable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:31, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support the speedy close. Great job on saving this savory delectable from an unsavory deletion! Cunard (talk) 06:44, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hurrah! The fizzy bottles have been rescued! 169.229.109.115 (talk) 07:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
