Contested prod. Essay. Was also tagged {{db-spam}}, but that has little chance of success. Delete. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 13:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- Definitely not spam, but clearly an essay. Delete. Comes off as a bit of a coat rack for environmental concerns thereunto pertaining. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 14:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

- Comment - The current article is poorly written, but I believe an article on the topic, either at Single use foodservice packaging or at Foodservice packaging, is most likely appropriate. [1] It seems that a lot of research and testing goes into foodservice packaging [2], and there are even awards for foodservice packaging. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 16:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- We do have a really awesome, NPOV and well-sourced article at Packaging and labeling. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, I don't think it's the same topic. From what I understand, the article we are discussing here is more about the wrapper around your Big Mac, or the styrofoam plates they give you at the mall's food court. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 16:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- I just want to confirm that, while the names might be similar, single use foodservice packaging is not the same thing as the packaging you find on grocery store shelves. Thank you and I am sorry for any confusion (ironically, the confusion is the reason I wanted to write this article). Hrundle (talk) 15:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

- Keep It might have started with an essay-style tone but this is definitely viable as a WP article. Restaurant packaging is just part of daily life, and only a portion of the article is about environmental issues; it's mostly cost and sanitary reasons. Remember that Wikipedia is not the New Yorker; the nuts and bolts of restaurant management is a perfectly fine topic here. Squidfryerchef (talk) 20:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- I am the author. I made some changes (deleted some portions) and added more content on the history of single use foodservice packaging and the materials used. I left a mark on the page to please hold and reconsider, but it was removed for some reason. If you able to, please consider reviewing the article again. I would really like to get this right. Thank you for your time and comments. Hrundle (talk) 15:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
