Wacky Watermelon

There's a bunch of things wrong with this:

1. Obvious SOP
2. Zero citations
3. Fails WT:BRAND as so constructed
4. Created to make a point about Berry Blue, even though berry blue is cited and passes WT:BRAND Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 16:34, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Hang on a minute

1. Obvious SOP? So it's a watermelon of a wacky nature is it?
2. Citations aren't required in entries, it is required that they be citable (that is, citations are available, but not necessarily copied up)
3. Failing WT:BRAND is an RFV issue. It can't fail before it's even been nominated, it's like convicting someone of a crime before the trial
4. Berry Blue has't actually passed yet; there's some debate over the validity of the citations.

• Delete. I agree that this is SOP, although wacky could probably use some refinement to indicate that it can refer to both zany fun and just plain insanity. With respect to the watermelon flavor, the idea of the sense of zany fun is obvious. "Berry Blue" should be of little relevance to this discussion, although I would note in passing that I have scared up citations for berry blue which seem to me to be in line with color entries like sky blue, navy blue, and peacock blue. bd2412 T 17:32, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

There are seven citations, Eagle Eyes. They are in the entry for convenient reference.

I created this to investigate the question of inclusion surrounding Berry Blue and other similar names. I am not sure that either of these belongs in the dictionary, but neither am I positive that they don’t. —Michael Z. 2013-06-17 16:42 z

Wacky Watermelon

RFD for the second time. This is simply sum-of-parts alliteration to make a manufactured product's flavour sound more fun. Compare these that I found on the Web just now: Awesome Apple, Bangin' Banana, Succulent Strawberry. Equinox ◑ 00:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Delete I agree. This is not like wildberry where the candy/soda industry has hit on a specific formula, it's just another word for watermelon. —Soap— 17:04, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

The entry is fun, but delete, this can easily go out of hand. Fay Freak (talk) 21:49, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

I myself prefer the Delectable Deletion flavor. PseudoSkull (talk) 02:02, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
