I say delete. It's ridiculously small, and there's nothing to be added to it, since it only appeared once. It's just a small Easter Egg, and barely significant.

DELETED!
This is the talk page of an article that has been merged with Minor Drinks. Please do not participate in the discussions archived here. If you can provide a reason for the existence of this page that hasn't been discussed below, you may start a new section. Please refer to the inclusion guidelines that are generally applied to judge an article's merit.

Doe not delete this! --Technochocolate 03:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Why not? what purpose could this possibly serve? -- Tony Stony 03:31, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Umm...it's a drink! --04:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)04:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

We could merge this info into Cold One - Dr Haggis - Talk 15:46, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

But this isn't a type of Cold One- it's just another type of beer. If we merge it with anything it should be Coach Z, methinks. —FireBird|Talk 15:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I second that. Coach Z does seem to be the most logical place for it.--Shippinator Mandy
Shouldn't it really be merged into time capsule? Aurora the Homestar Coder 16:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I personally don't think this needs to exist at all. All info found on this page can be found in the email, except for the image, which is useless. -- Tony Stony 22:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm with Tony on this one, although if enough people think it's worth merging into something, Time Capsule makes sense to me. -- Eric 03:03, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Nah, merge it with coach Z. In fact, dont even merge it, just put a tiny footnote about it in coach Z and time capsule--Mikelx215 00:41, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I Don't think this needs deleting.--Clash
On second thought, merging with time capsule sounds good. —FireBird|Talk 21:43, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree w/Mikelx215 -User: Tapd260

the question is, in fact, why SHOULD it be deleted?

There is no reson for it to be deleted. Please keep it.User:Undabite

I say delete. It's ridiculously small, and there's nothing to be added to it, since it only appeared once. It's just a small Easter Egg, and barely significant. If there were even three sentences to be said about this topic, I would be for keeping it, but as it is, it is pretty useless. Trelawney

I've seen smaller and less notable pages then this. And small pages are not inherently bad. Keep. Has Matt? (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I've made many pages like this, and most are around the same size and appear once. See Puke Pail, for instance. If I had seen it first I would have made this page. I say keep. --The_homestrongzipansadcheatsmith2.PNG Tlk/Cnt 23:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I still say Merge any info onto the Cold One article, as that is where we keep all the info about different kinds of beer. - Dr Haggis - Talk 21:48, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I was the person who actually created this page. Several other pages exist for products that are easter eggs, and only referenced once. If people are deadset on having this deleted or moved, then I would suggest merging into the cold one article, but I'm not sure why this one has been singled out for merging or deletion. --Duke33 17:37, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I don't get it either, Duke33. I think that, maybe, merging w/ Cold One might be good, but I seriously don't think it should. User:Undabite

There are other "easter egg product" pages, but since we have a suitable place to put Beer/Cold one info we should keep it all together. If we had tons of short "pizza" articles we could merge an article like Bubs' Old Pizza together onto the broader topic, until any singular item became significant enough to stand on its own. Coach Z ale has not gone anywhere since its inception. Should it garner a few more appearances we will have enough information to justify a stand-alone article. - Dr Haggis - Talk 16:18, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

"This product was the first of only three foodstuff items in the Homestar Runner Universe to feature a main character's name on the packaging (the other products being Cheatcakes and Coach Z Ale)." That's off of the Strong Bad's Eggs food and drink page. It has importance! If it isn't good enough for a stand-alone, it should be merged, but i think it has enough weight to stay. :Best5bucksever 00:12, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Everyone aggreed on merging, say I.User:Undabite

I say they should merge all mentioned drinks together onto one page. With Cold Ones maybe?

[edit] DO NOT DELETE!

There's no need to delete it! If you call this useless, you're calling every other page on this site useless!

Wow. Your logic is truly impressive. Homestar Coderhomestar-coder-sig.gif 19:33, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Naw, just keep it. I don't really see a need for deletion. --SaikoRoxi 10:17, July 22, 2005

lol, good one HC. But I don't think it's worth a page. Just like Coach Z's Z wasn't. Besides, this only appears once on the entire site, and only in an easter egg. Baleet. ——Darklinkskywalker|Talk_|i did this stuff_ 04:24, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

y should it be deleted? thats the thing about homestar wiki. everything about homestar. EVERYTHING. i can see y we can keep it, but not y we should delete it. its not like it takes up space. Besides, theres another article about Jobar's Big Ol' Headache Medicine, which is also from an easter egg in time capsule, and its also for a product. that article is pretty much the same size as well, and it is'nt pending deletation, so y should this one? I say, just keep the "stub" thingy on 'em and leave 'em alone!--Bubsty.

[edit] More is Better

Doesn't really seem logical to modify or remove a page that seems to work fine as a standalone. If it's going to be changed at all, then I agree with an appropriate merge, but not a full deletion. That's pointless. (Edit: Adding who I am.) Gingercat 01:58, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

KEEP or MERGE My only question is, where can I get some differently lame ale? THE SMOKING MONKEY 11:57, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I second the person who said it was worth keeping due to its mention on the Strong Bad Eggs food and drink page. Plus, I really like Coach Z, lame or not. Thexder 23 August 2005

Why has this not been deleted yet?!?!?!?!?!? It's been pending deletion for like, 3 months now...so do what you wanna do with it now! I think we should:
