This phrase from an advertisement does not seem to meet the general notability guideline, and the issue is complicated by the fact that the phrase was used before the advertisement. The article provides little evidence that other uses of "Don't even think about it!" relates to the advertising slogan, and is thus original synthesis.

- Delete - not a notable turn of phrase and not one that is unique to the Pepsi commercial. Harley Hudson (talk) 18:23, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The nomination seems to be a misunderstanding as the topic here is the phrase not the advertisement which popularised it. The phrase is quite notable, being discussed in numerous sources such as Slam dunks and no-brainers: language in your life, the media, business, politics, and, like, whatever.

These snippets - [1], cannot be used to verify notability, as it's not obvious that they provide significant coverage. --Anthem 09:44, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - nominator was a sockpuppet.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. Article is questionable, but any action by a ban-evading sock must be reversed. ScottyBerg (talk) 22:54, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note Anthem of joy has been indef blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas [2]. --Tothwolf (talk) 03:10, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
