Delete as advertisement. Prod removed by author without comment. Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 01:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete appears to be an ad.--Jersey Devil 01:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. SynergeticMaggot 04:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: this is not a criteria for speedy deletion. SynergeticMaggot 04:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as an ad, but without prejudice to rewriting, as this is a fairly notable product. I'm sure a decent article could be written about it, but this isn't it. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I find a few references to this in Middle Eastern newspapers - given the language exchange level considerations and such, I would recommend people give this serious consideration before voting. I'm going to decline to vote because I'm not sure how reliable these sources are ... see for example this: WilyD 12:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep I am in no way advertising for a fiber thing. I saw it on tv, looked for an article on wikipedia to see what it was, but then there wasn't so I looked on www.benefiber.com to see what it was and wrote a wikipedia article. You guys are so mean. I'm a teenager, why would I advertise for some sort of fiber thing? Did you read the article? It has nothing advertising, and if it does, please just tell me to remove the words. I was just trying to be helpful by making an article on something you don't have, even if it is a stub. Look, it's real, http://www.ask.com/web?q=benefiber&qsrc=0&o=0&l=dir thats a web search on it.
- It just looks like spam, which dozens of articles worth of show up every day. It's an easy assumption to make, because spam articles rarely say SPAM across the top. WilyD 13:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Um, it's Benefiber. It's advertised nationally. It's distributed by a major company. If you have a problem with the article contents, edit it, put up a cleanup tag, do whatever, but delete Benefiber? GassyGuy 13:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, criteria of advertisement for the afd nom has not been met. The article in no way reads like an advertisement. And I agree with gassyguy on pointing out product notability. -- Whpq 13:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete -Fails WP:CORP - stores are full of products like this one. An article could be written on the general topic of fibre and the pros and cons of buying commercial products versus eating correctly. Per WP:NOT, Misplaced Pages is not a place to look up products you see advertised on T.V. Google is for that. KarenAnn 14:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - if you feel the criteria for advertisement has not been meet, then check out the article's footnotes. KarenAnn 14:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - Check out the page history. Unless you think WilyD is the one advertising it, then I believe those were an established user's good faith attempts to flesh out the stub which, when put to AfD, had no footnotes or mentions of Oman. GassyGuy 14:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment allow me to assure everyone I'm not hauking it, I'm merely an astronomer and a game store owner, I ain't sell the stuff. I'm somewhat concerned that we're deleting an foreign product because there are few english references, and it's hard to find references for places where they use very different alphabets. I was just trying to give it a chance to get past WP:V, the supreme arbitor. WilyD 15:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- CommentThe product is advertised on US national television, you can buy it at CVS, RiteAid, Grocery Store etc. It is in no way some sort of foreign thing.

- Keep, a noteworthy product, In the USA it's hawked by Paul Harvey several times a week on the radio. Smerdis of Tlön 14:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hestitant Delete as per KarenAnn. I've heard of this product but this could products notability could likly be covered elsewhere until it expands and warrents its own article.–(chubbstar)
- Keep. Notable product as mentioned above, Misplaced Pages is not paper. Themindset 18:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This is a very well-known product, I see ads for it all the time on TV. I honestly can't figure out why this article was marked as spam/advertising...it's only a few sentences long and those sentences simply state what Benefiber is, it doesn't look like the typical spam article at all.

- Keep and clean up - I see advertisements for this product on TV constantly!! It has several radio ads to boot and is available for purchase through thousands of retailers. It should and can be expanded. Srose (talk) 18:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep We have time, this article looks as if it can improve. As far as I see this article has asserted it's importance. Lets see what wikipedia editors can do! —— Eagle (ask me for help) 20:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
