This phrase is not simply an advertisement slogan. It's a much older Adage, which is in general use. The article should reflect this. Fuzzform (talk) 00:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but I'm not sure that the adage itself is notable enough to have its own article, and I don't think there's enough verifiable information about its origins to include in this one, either. If you can find third party discussion on the phrase (dictionaries would probably be a good place to start looking), I'd be happy to knock something up mentioning earlier usage.

This is just an advertisement for the marketing company, it's hard to believe this wasn't written by an employee. So what if the phrase is not notable enough to have it's own page, it is far more widely known and recognised than as a Guinness slogan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.54.130.244 (talk) 08:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It has been used by Heinz in the 1980's.--Oneiros (talk) 00:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you can garner enough verifiable material together about the Heinz campaign, I'd be happy to knock together an article, change this page to a disambiguation, and move the material currently here to something like Good things come to those who wait (Guinness campaign). As it is, noone has put forward anything that would make disambiguating the title worthwhile. GeeJo (t)(c) • 12:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty, created a stub for the Heinz campaign and disambiguated. Any further expansion I leave to the hands of others, as I have little knowledge of the background to the Heinz campaign, and no longer have any access to industry publications from that period.
