Preservative 220 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A pure joke page. Preservative 220: spunktonium? "Appearance: White crystalline solid", "Molar mass: 69.69". I mean, really. All the references are completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. One only needs to look at the column in the article to confirm that this is a complete and utter (bad) joke article. SMC (talk) 13:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Agreed, tagged for Speedy deletion as a hoax. --BelovedFreak 13:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Ah, thanks. Should've checked CSD first. My apologies. SMC (talk) 13:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - I have just removed the speedy tag as the article has completely changed. The original author has removed mention of "spunktonium" and Preservative 220 seems to be a real substance. Not sure about notability.--BelovedFreak 14:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to sulphur dioxide. This seems to be about one of the cryptic labels that are allowed by various labelling laws in the USA. (Another example, "Alcohol SD 38B", I know to be ethanol denatured with peppermint oil; it turns up in toothpaste, liniments, and so forth.) As such it is a reasonable search term. People who run across them want to know what they mean. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP SPUNKTONUM for without it the article is of nothing. otherwise SPEEDY DELETEFlutterdance (talk) 16:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. -- BelovedFreak 16:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect the current spunktonium-free article to Sulphur_dioxide#As_a_preservative. No prejudice to recreation if spinout articles become needful. - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 17:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Sulphur_dioxide#As_a_preservative. Tim Vickers (talk) 22:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete G12; copyvio of [1]. There are other copies that google turns up, but I believe it to be the original, as the double asterisk in this article and the other forms online is referencing a footnote on the page I provided. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 23:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - The only information appears to be from the Sulfur Dioxide article, and there is no need for the two of them. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 23:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Remove the text as copyvio, and replace by a redirect. Since it is a complete and obvious copyvio, I have just done so. Given that the copyvio source was actually specified as the reference it the article, this could have been done without taking it here. DGG (talk) 00:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
