Elvis ate this sandwich. So what? The restaurant that served it turns up nearly no results, and there seem to be very few reliable sources pertaining to this article, aside from the Elvis anecdote, and it seems unlikely to expand beyond a stub. GroovySandwich 09:31, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is notable - see Ramble Colorado, for example. Worst case is that we'd merge with other articles about gross sandwiches such as Peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich. Warden (talk) 13:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Ramble Colorado.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:12, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Elvis Presley. On mention in a single book isn't enough to stand on its own. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 16:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to either Elvis Presley or Peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich#Variations. Article doesn't have enough notability to stand up on it's own, but could definitely be merged to somewhere else. I personally think it would better fit in the Peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich article. The fact Elvis ate a sandwich probably doesn't belong in his article, it borders on trivia.

Keep per the Colonel's discovered source. Passes GNG, ~~probably could find more~~ 43 mentions on Google news alone; several books with recipe and story. It's a great anecdote, a likely search term, and sourced, so keep. BusterD (talk) 01:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. An article cannot be based upon a single source. One paragraph in one book is not the foundation upon which we could write anything, nor would be two paragraphs in two books. None of the google news sources I've looked at appear to satisfy the requirements for the general notability guideline. Per below. This also isn't a good merge candidate, there's just not enough material there to make it worth while. The basic facts of the sandwich are not covered by GFDL, so delete and place a redirtect is fine even if the information is eventually to go in some other article.

Relisting comment. Please can we evaluate these sources? Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:18, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or at least Merge with another article. Although an interesting anecdote, that's all it is and seems to me be rather trivial. Dalyup! (talk) 16:39, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's nothing in here to make this "sandwich" notable. It is also a content fork of Peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich.Curb Chain (talk) 13:48, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
