Red wine stain remover

Dicdef, unlikely to become more than that. --Jemiller226 03:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It's good to know how to get stains out, but I'm not sure WP is the place for that. Master Thief Garrett 05:55, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- we don't need an article on removing every type of stain do we? - Longhair | Talk 09:34, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: In this form, a dictdef. Were it a list of recipes and the like, it would be appropriate for Wikibooks/Wikiguides. Geogre 11:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • It's more of a tautology than a dictionary definition, given that the article isn't defining a word, but is pretty much saying that "a red wine stain remover is a remover for red wine stains". You're right that Wikibooks would happily take a wikibook on housekeeping, though. (I'm surprised that there isn't one.) Uncle G 17:10, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Hmm. Should this info be merged into a new stain remover article? That article could contain what chemicals are often used, what was used to remove stains in the past, etc. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 13:08, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • If you want to be bold and make one I'd probably agree, but only if it too could be made useful. In the meantime I suppose it should stay the way it is. Master Thief Garrett 13:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
    • merge with Stain. Radiant_* 13:44, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - The article is of no use ,unless it does not mention the working ,composition and other relevant information regarding the item . Any one would know that a Red wine stain remover ,removes wine stains .--IncMan 15:13, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Agreed, it just states the obvious, and doesn't mention "home remedy" alternatives like soft drinks. Unless of course you're one of those who believe that red wine takes out soda stains *Home Improvement injoke* Master Thief Garrett^Talk 15:41, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Present state of article as a stub is not grounds for deletion as article could be expanded. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It's been sitting untouched for months (aside from someone removing the stub tag today), and you wrote the article. Perhaps if you think it's worth keeping, you'd have worked on it to make it useful sometime in the past 5+ months? --Jemiller226 18:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, current status or not, this is not an encyclopedia article. RickK 21:22, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. First and foremost, a stain remover article should be created. Second, there needs some relevant content and references to warrant such an article, otherwise it will never ever be encyclopedic. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:33, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Carnildo 21:45, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Move to stain remover and expand. Gazpacho 05:59, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
