I am not convinced that this sandwich merits its own Wikipedia article. Yes it's got a lot of coverage right now, but it's doubtful that will last. I suggest putting the gist of the info in the Popeyes article and redirect. ... discospinster _talk 13:31, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would like to disclose that I am the creator of the page. I believe the sandwich deserves its own page because of several reasons. The sandwich is Popeye's flagship sandwich so its nutritional information should be available, the amount of coverage the sandwich is receiving and will continue to receive outpaces virtually any other fast food item in history, the marketing behind the sandwich in notable and the nutritional information should be available. Lets face it, the sandwich will eventually get its own page. THe discussion will likely be more about whether it happens now or we delete my version and someone makes one a few months from now. I think with the ongoing coverage there is likely going to be a lot more to add to this story. Plus there are a lot of news items which are happening that center around the sandwich which could be added to the page. The sandwich is looking to be one of the biggest ongoing coverage episodes of 2019. Plus many are voting it the best chicken sandwich in fast food. I definitely think the sandwich deserves a page. If in a 6 months or a year from now if the sandwich's page doesn't improve and this was just a singular viral campaign then perhaps it should be noinated but at this point I think coverage will continue to spiral and there will be more noteworthy events to attach to the page.

Comment I would like to add that the sandwich seems to have picked up by every media outlet that Wikipedia considers credible including the NY Times, Wash Post, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS, Yahoo, CNBC, CNN, USA TOday and virtually every local paper too. I'm not going to be floored either way but this sandwich definitely meets the criteria for it's own page. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 15:08, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. While there are pages on specific fast-food chain burgers, this one is new and it is too early to say if it is significant. The essential details could be added to the Products section of the Popeyes page. asnac (talk) 15:24, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Here today, gone tomorrow--not the sandwich, but the coverage. Merge and redirect. Drmies (talk) 17:27, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Primarily per WP:NOTNEWS, but also because it's not really the sandwich itself which appears to have generated most of the coverage - from what I've read, most of the coverage seems to be about the success of the company's viral marketing campaign, and its rivalry with another firm. I feel that this would be better contextualised within the article on the Popeyes, rather than in a separate article about the sandwich, which does not appear notable to me in and of itself.

I don't think we want too much of this content merging into the main article, which already covers this briefly with good sources; it could perhaps be expanded upon a little, but we don't need the trivia in there. I'll note that there is currently a typo in the position of the apostrophe in the title, which should eithe rbe after the s, or omitted altogether (I guess we could have redirects from all three, as plausible search terms).

I realise this isn't an argument for deletion, but just wanted to add to respond to the author's claims above about this being one of the biggest stories of 2019, that I had literally never heard of this sandwich before I reviewed this article. I realise that I live in the UK, but I just got back from a three-week vacation in California, having managed to remain entirely oblivious of its existence while I was there. I'm not saying that it hasn't been in the news, but to say it's one of the biggest stories of 2019 is overstating the case. GirthSummit _(blether) 17:50, 27 August 2019 (UTC) [reply]
