Bacon butty

This is an unreferenced article, but this food stuff is not such an established part of British life to warrant a separate article. The line "it is essentially a bacon sandwich" is factually skewed - a butty IS a sandwich. The article links to similarly articles which give currency to foods which don't deserve it doktorb | words 10:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As the nom says, unreferenced. If the unreferenced information (which I am sure there will not be references for) the article would be nothing more than 2 lines stating that it is a bacon sandwich. -Localzuk ^(talk) 10:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- "Bacon butty" is not an idiom, and Wiktionary has a stub dictionary article for butty, thank you. It has no need of an encyclopaedia article about a type of sandwich. Uncle G 13:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rewrite but keep - sadly, a notable British food. --Cel e stianpower ^háblame 15:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The combinations and permutations of foodstuffs are astronomical: a few will deserve dictionary treatment, and a very few encyclopedia treatment. This isn't one of them-- it's merely a noun phrase.--MayerG 16:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, in some form. It sounds like there's a certain ritual to butty-making, and it'd be unfortunate to see the whole concept buried under "sandwich". I agree, this may be a better Wiktionary entry than Wikipedia, and I think bacon butties, chip butties, etc. might be better served (ooh, bad pun) under a single "Butty" heading. Please also see my latest talk page entry (from today) --And what's so sad about butties being a notable British food?!. Zephyrad 19:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep an iconic British snack. Delete this, and Big Mac has to go, surely? SP-KP 00:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as is. Why is this even being considered for deletion? Any person living in Britain knows what this is, and many people overseas as well. But if there must be written evidence then this can be easily produced, if a bit of a pain. This notice is trivial. M3Plus 10:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
