It's not apparent that this product has received independent coverage, even if is is an official accessory for a popular console. Pcap ping 22:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is an electronics cleaning kit. Cleaning kits are made for all sorts of devices (game consoles, cassette decks, tape backup systems, et cetera) but that hardly means that they're notable, not this specific brand of one at least. JBsupreme (talk) 22:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per JBsupreme. Wikipedia is not a catalogue of commercial products. Reyk _YO! 23:07, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to List of Nintendo Entertainment System accessories. The NES Cleaning Kit (besides being a first party one) has some more notability than most because of how much extensive attention it got because of NES games getting dirty quite often (anybody who grew up with a NES had to blow in cartridges on more than one occasion, and the NES Cleaning Kit was supposed to be used instead).

Delete- The guidelines of WP:PRODUCT are very clear. Products are to be included in the article of the manufacturor wherever possible. To be notable in its own right, this product would need some independent, verifiable, non-trivial sources. If the product had been the subject of a recall, caused a war, received extensive news articles, had a significant cult following, etc we might have a case, but this one doesn't seem to come close to any of those. - it's simply a (green) cleaning product from the 80s!
