[edit] Tater tot hotdish

Tater tot hotdish (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No sources, one external link, no assertion of notability or popularity. No real context or potential of getting beyond a stub. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 19:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep, notable, more than a dicdef. -Drdisque (talk) 20:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Very Weak Keep. Topic is semi-semi-notable and somewhat interesting. Luksuh 20:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I always wondered what that stuff was called, it seems to show up at every potluck I go to... Anyway, all I'm finding is recipes, so I'd say delete for lack of coverage in reliable sources (and because I hate cream of anything soup).

  • Comment Damn. Now I'm hungry. As for notability: has this been discussed in newspapers, books or magazines? Edison (talk) 03:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and transwiki to Wikibooks Cookbook - no notability, only reference is a recipe on a website that describes itself as a weblog. Maybe mention it as an aside in another article, but doesn't deserve its own article AFAICT. Also, it sounds like it's the sort of thing that has all sorts of "unofficial", local names, so it's going to be a job just working out what name it gets transwikied under.

  • Keep It says it's "popular", so that's an assertation of notability. I google-searched it and came up with quite a number of hits, including an article on wikiHow "How to Make Tater Tot Hotdish". Notability enough. Herunar (talk) 07:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment That's not actually an assertion of notability. Popularity != notability. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 17:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a collection of recipes. WWGB (talk) 04:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
