  • Delete - spammy but not enough to be a speedy. MER-C 03:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Article asserts notability. A POV fix is in order though and whoever added the trademark symbols should be taken out and shot. -- IslaySolomon 03:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per IslaySolomon. --- RockMFR 03:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep this is actually a pretty clever idea. Article badly needs cleanup though. Opabinia regalis 04:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Advertisement is all this is. --Neo 06:20, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Being clever doesn't make it notable. --Storkk 13:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep IMHO the advertising argument is tenuous at best. This is actually quite a nifty idea. I think it works. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 15:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Despammify, merge and Redirect to Roundabout Outdoors. BBC article and tie-in with South African government is enough for me but company rather than product is the way to go. Deizio talk 15:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep What a fascinating idea! Looks like it has plenty of media attention too. Google News showsarticles from PBS, Forbes, Time, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Starblind. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep But maybe the page should be PlayPumps and incorporate the business (Roundabout Outdoor) and the nonprofit that supports it (PlayPumps International), both of which have pages.
  • Keep Absolutely worth attention
  • Keep. A fascinating product. If coca-cola is allowed its own page, then a product as useful and life-saving as this should also be represented. The page could be made less focused on this one company.
