116 Google hits. One sentence, with web address. Seems like an ad to me. DCEdwards1966 22:22, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
The name is pronounced as Bamsemums in one word. (Hardly anybody but the vendor writes it with two words.) If you google "bamsemums" as one word, you'll find over 3 900 relevant hits. --Verdlanco (talk) 19:43, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Actually, most of those hits are not relevant. Searching for "bamsemums chocolate" only returns 47 hits. DCEdwards1966 05:50, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
Not all hits are relevant, that's why I didn't give an exact number. But I estimate that at least 3 900 of the Google hits (4 000 if you count the hits with the name spelled as two separate words) are refering to the candy from the Nidar chocolate factory. That many hits can surely not be all ads. --Verdlanco (talk) 17:59, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
In the first couple of pages I saw more hits for a motorcycle club with that name than I did for the candy. Some others appeared to be usernames. That is why I added chocolate to the search. To weed out the ones not talking about the candy. DCEdwards1966 19:49, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
I see. But I doubt that anyone who didn't know about the candy would invent a name like Bamsemums independently. I checked those motorcycle references. One guy liked this one bike so much he called it "the tough guys' bamsemums", another compared the weight of a motorcycle part to the weight of a bag of bamsemums candy. So in fact they, too, (indirectly) talk about the Nidar product. --Verdlanco (talk) 16:02, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Seems to be notable enough and not advertisement either. bbx 08:59, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Needs cleanup/NPOV (is "yummy" POV?) but I think it's keepable. DreamGuy 21:21, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, I took out the yummy, needs expansion, more cleanup. Wyss 04:18, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or Clean up. I think it's a subtle ad. --Deathphoenix 20:28, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, borderline notability. Megan1967 02:30, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just some random candy. Niteowlneils 20:15, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • please keep this Yuckfoo 04:46, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 12:25, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Very popular candy in all of Norway. If this is removed, I think Mars bar, Snickers, etc. will also have to go. --Verdlanco (talk) 10:30, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • It's an ad because it has an external link? Jeez, man. Keep.Dr Zen 10:44, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • One sentence with a link to the manufacturers site looks like an ad to me, man. DCEdwards1966 20:02, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
      • Don't be applying for any jobs with ad agencies any time soon, man.Dr Zen 00:05, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep could be improved but noteworthy. Salazar 21:43, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, valid stub, allow for organic growth. GRider\talk 22:42, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
