302:, even if my poor article might not yet. On Notability: Foosh was the first highly caffeinated mint. It came out after penguin mints, which are tasty, but only have 7 grams of caffeine. Foosh Energy Mints have lasted the test of time as they have been available nationwide and internationally for 8 years. The sources are reliable. I will add more links. Please don't delete this page until I have had a chance to respond to the above comments. Back in 2009, the articles I created for my favorite energy candy, Foosh Energy Mints and Buzz Bites, were deleted. (I have been trying to have these on Knowledge (XXG) for years!) These products give people like me, who don't drink coffee, an alternative source of caffeine. I have tried many such products and these are by far the best. The company who makes them somehow found a way to mask the bitterness of caffeine. Penguin mints are yummy, but only have 7 mg of caffeine, versus the 100 in Buzz Bites. People who buy Buzz Bites or see them around will check the internet to see what they are all about and Knowledge (XXG) is a good first place to look for reliable information. Thank you for any help you can give to get this to meet all guidelines!!! Respectfully,

commercial promotionalism. It means promoting anything commercial or non commercial; it can mean promoting a cause. It doesn't matter how valuable or worthy it is--we still avoid it. I don't see the current article as particularly promotional, but your intent was; that makes it difficult to write a good article. But it is nonetheless possible, provided you can find enough good sources to write a proper sourced article, based on the sources, not your own personal knowledge of the product. . The famous candies you mention have such sources. Our terms of notability and COI and promotionalism are "terms of art," terms used here in a special sense in our special context, and people who are not aware of this are sometimes rather taken aback by it. Perhaps we should find ones without the implications, but we haven't been able to. And, unfortunately WP is these days beset by such extensive true commercial promotionalism and writing by press agents that there tends to be a certain amount of suspicion, which is justified 95% of the time. So we apologize, but it still is not now suitable as an encyclopedia artivcle.
459:, etc can have articles, but not my favorites? Is it spam because in this afD debate I say I like them the best? Why is this product spam and not all the others on Knowledge (XXG)? Why did someone remove all of the links to make this an orphan? Isn't being called a spammer a personal attack, which is against the Knowledge (XXG) personal attack policy? I am obviously not a professional. I am confused and hurt by the above comments. Please explain.
497:. There are certainly articles in newspapers mentioning this product in conjunction with other energy mints or candies, but I did not see significant coverage about the product or the company that would meet the inclusion criteria noted here. I understand the article's creator has a passion for the product, but that is not sufficient reason to justify an article. --

What this article needs is some published evidence that this particular product is important, and for articles like this, the GNG is the only way we have of telling. General sources about such foods, or articles that merely mention it , are not sufficient. Promotionalism, Matushka, does not mean only
