[edit] Winnicks

Winnicks (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I believe this page is a hoax, as I cannot find any references to winnicks. It may just be a regional non-notable term. Absurdist 18:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Sounds like nonsense. Even if this was true, it would likely be a non-notable regional term. Spellcast 19:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Article has no sources and does not assert notability. --Hdt83 Chat 19:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete would be a better option for this garbage. Jauerback 19:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete seems hoaxy. Not that this is a great reference, but it would suggest Winnicks are something else entirely! Eliz81 21:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per Jauerback. Gahhhh ... utter nonsense. Blueboy96 21:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing in Google Books that isn't the last name of someone. Made-up but false is not the same as nonsense and is not speedy-eligible. Speedy isn't there for stuff you want to get rid of more quickly. --Dhartung | Talk 01:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Unless someone has access to the English Dialect Dictionary to prove that this word does exist, consensus obviously endorses the opinion that this is a hoax article. Even if the EDD verifies the existence of a dish with that name, the bit about how they were "often prepared in an old fashioned Fenland dwelling known as a 'Tatty heap'" & that this is a one-off edit, leads me to conclude that this was a joke, & if not deleted moved to WP:BJAODN. -- llywrch 19:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment'. That definition is not in EDD, nor is Tatty heap.-- aBSuRDiST -T J C- 22:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete per nonsense.--JForget 14:55, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
