Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toast and marmalade

Toast and marmalade was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE. 12 votes to delete, 2 votes to merge/redirect. The content (what little there was) has been merged already into toast. Because of the clear deletion consensus, this will not even be made into a redirect, but future editors to toast should be able to decide whether the bit of added information is useful there.

Toast and marmalade

Really now. English people eat toast with marmalade. If you like this one, though, there's Toast and jam by the same author (he of the pea fritters) — Bill 12:55, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Well, well. Factual, yes. Encyclopedic, I think not. Wyllium 14:38, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)
• just merge with toast. Dunc|☺ 17:19, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Food descriptions arn't encyclopedic. --Improv 17:45, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete both, food in and of themselves are not notable or encyclopedic. -Vina 17:46, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• I like it with syrup or jelly! Delete. Gamaliel 20:15, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Hi, I'm English and I do not eat toast and marmalade at breakfast time. Well not that often anyway. Delete -- Graham ☺ | Talk 20:30, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Toast it. (Delete for being non-encyclopedic.) Geogre 21:23, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Perhaps move into a list English breakfast foods —siroχo 22:49, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. No potential to become encyclopedic. Something like this could be part of an article on British breakfasts or British food or British cuisine, or part of the article on Toast, but there's no need for a whole article. Nor do we need one on Toast and marmite, Hot buttered toast, or Toast and honey, or Toast and treacle. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:46, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Personally, I think desecrating your toast with something so vile as marmalade is a crime, but that's not why I vote delete. Lord Bob 01:45, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
• Expand into several more articles: Rye toast and orange marmalade, Pumpernickle toast and apricot marmalade, Wheat toast and kiwi marmalade, Whole wheat toast and kiwi marmalade ad nauseam. Or we could delete it, if that would be easier. -R. fiend 20:38, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Why not? Each of these tasty combinations must have influenced the lives of thousands, if not millions of people. Remember, Wikipedia is not pooper, I mean paper. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:59, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • "Have you got anything without toast?" "Well, there's toast marmalade butter and toast, that's not got much toast in it." "I don't want any toast!" "Why can't you have egg bacon toast and sausage?" "That's got toast in it!" "Hasn't got as much toast in it as toast marmalade butter and toast, has it?"

Please see my comment relating to this on the Pineapple fritter votes for deletion page because I think we can avoid wasting everybody's time with unnecessary discussions on some of these votes. The purpose could very well be accomplished with one simple note on the user:talk page of the person who created offending article (which in this case was me). I mean, it works much better (assuming the person is somebody reasonable like me) at the level of a memo. More than that is overkill unless it's some real controversy (which this obviously isn't). --wayland 09:51, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• • You'd be surprised -- there's been a policy debate going on on how to handle food articles/recipes/etc for some time now. --Improv 15:11, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to toast. -Sean Curtin 01:39, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: subtrivial. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:06, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Delete because moving the contents to a combined 'toast and...' page renders this page a redundant blank --Cynical 21:40, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
