Maybe they should just be deleted when found out? Might help keep things well-groomed in the next thousand years (hey, we could last that long, nobody knows (only 8th)).

[marked-for-deletion] redundant - shudderprose's link. I think this is the more appropriate category, though.

I don't think ideas which were halfbaked *first* should be deleted - instead they should be cherished.

I agree with [Loris]! Awhile back I made a joke about a gun-shaped cellphone and just the other day someone showed me their Droid phone that has an image of a gun and makes shooting noises!

Make said icon a hyperlink to the actual product.

SteamBoat: Not always possible. Many times, the same concept might be baked by many products/hobbyinsts. I would rather like it to point to speacially filtering out baked items.
