notability

This guy is not notable. Sources cited are blog and vanity site, not WP:Reliable Sources by far. plz add some better sources and establish WP:Notability else article will be Afd'ed. Rumpelstiltskin223 22:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a Toronto Star article, I am working on getting more. (I have read the full article listed, not just the excerpt). Nzgabriel 22:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He is notable. The fact that many people know about and try the Soda Gyser (Mentos put into Diet Coke) means that he is notable because he created that experiment. Armyrifle 11:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Mentos demo was first done by Lee Marek.

The explanation for the reaction on Spangler's page was clearly plagiarized from an article that has been posted since October 1999 in General Chemistry Online Why do Mentos mints foam when you drop them into soda pop?, which was cited in the spring 2001 issue of Chemistry, a publication of the American Chemical Society. 131.118.85.202 21:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page seems like it was likely written by Spangler himself. Some of the information is completely irrelevant to someone who is not particularly notable, parts of it seem designed to air a grudge he seems to have with another company. 67.165.232.130 (talk) 00:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mentos Eruption tone/npov

I have added the {{multipleissues}} template to this section due to the following:

The section reads as if it has been lifted from another source such as a magazine article and in my opinion needs to be rewritten.
The sentence "YouTube now boasts over 12,000 videos" is not relevent to the article.
The sentence "[...]we would have to agree with MCM Senior Writer, Tim Parry, who put it in this way: “Steve Spangler Science Having the Best Week Ever…”" is not NPOV.

I've cleaned up that particular section. There's plenty more throughout the article though. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:53, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NEW ENTRY

My name is Bryan Higgins and I'm trying to update this page. I'm not a Wikipedia content creator, but I'm trying to help keep this page updated with new content. I want to add a credit to this page for Steve Spangler's about his show called DIY Sci. I found this link on IMBD which I think is a trusted site - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6056924/?ref_=nm_knf_t3

Please let me know if I did any of this incorrectly. My Wikipedia username is Higginsworth Photography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Higginsworth Photography (talk • contribs) 18:40, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spangler is neither a scientist nor an educator. He is merely trying to make money and pass off nagic tricks as science. Science is about reflection on process and outcome, not on soda geysers without any discussion or thought for how and why. He is a self-promoting salesman masquerading as someone who knows science and wants to teach; money is his driver- that's it.

Anyone who has been to a Steve Spangler Workshop knows that he is, in-fact, a science educator. As a matter of fact, hundreds of teachers sign up to take his science workshops every year. I am unsure who posted the comment above but I have to wonder if you are a teacher or if you work for a company that sees Steve Spangler Science as a competitor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.117.9.117 (talk) 10:58, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
