Why delete this article? It has been around for about ten years and has been recently improved. Of course more improvement and citation is needed. Keep the article.Pkgx (talk) 03:40, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to disposable product (which redirects to the article). Clearly a notable topic, with plenty of coverage in reliable sources. Google Scholar and Google Books searches provide specific examples, among other searches. Simply removing the minor amount of dicdef content will suffice, rather than blanket deletion.

Comment...Or maybe "disposable" is merely a word that is being defined, and does not, by itself, warrant an encyclopedia entry...(?) As far as I know, "length of time it has been around" is one of the arguments to avoid in a deletion discussion, as is "it's clearly notable". Having said this, I have no objection to moving of the namespace to disposable product, and so will withdraw this nomination:
