:Delete as no notable independent sources, probably even tenuous to link it back to Not That Ralph Macchio unless that page somehow contextualises a random mascot within his career. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk) 16:54, 12 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• Keep the announcement in 2014 received a lot of coverage, particularly in Florida but also in some national media like WSJ and adweek: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Most mentions post-2014 are very passing mentions: [8], [9]. However, there are a few multi-paragraph mentions [10] and at least one entire article: Bouffard, K. (2015, Mar 30). 'Captain citrus': OJ sales fall more slowly; is it heroic? The Ledger Retrieved from [11]. And, perhaps surprisingly, a paper, although not very cited but still a published paper: Promoting Commodities through Comic Books: A Framing Analysis of the Captain Citrus Campaign. Journal of Applied Communications. 2016. I was going to vote delete probably but this is significantly more mainstream coverage of a comic book character than normal, even if it was mostly an ad-push, there was still some following on coverage.

  Wow, that's good stuff! I wonder what I was doing wrong to not see that. It needs an overhaul but yes, definitely salvageable. How do I go about changing my vote? Do I edit the first one or just post Keep? =) BoomboxTestarossa ( talk) 14:01, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  @ BoomboxTestarossa WP:DISCUSSAFD has some instructions but generally: Do not make conflicting recommendations; if you change your mind, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one. The recommended way of doing this is to use strike-through by enclosing a retracted statement between <del> and </del> after the *, as in "• Delete Keep". I've also see people strike their vote and then do their new vote in a different comment. Skynxnex ( talk) 14:12, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• Consider the revision of the page as my penance for the premature nomination and as a thanks to @ Skynxnex for the sources. BoomboxTestarossa ( talk) 18:23, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
