Does not seem important Uberaccount (talk) 03:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not even real. --Seduisant (talk) 03:53, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's real. Other wikipedias have article about riceburger and It had saled since S.Korea in 1994. [1] --볼라벤 (talk) 04:01, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The most important thing is that if it exists, that you can show that it's notable by using reliable sources to back the claim up. Existing is not notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:14, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural keep - A subjective nomination that does not have valid deletion rationale per WP:DEL-REASON. Furthermore, the topic appears to meet the threshold for notability. Some sources include: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Sources with mentions include: [8], [9]. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well known fast food item in Asia, especially (but not exclusively) associated with the MOS Burger chain; McDonalds apparently tried selling them as well for a while. Multiple sources available at GBooks, GNews, HighBeam to expand this to describe the history and territorial expansion of this dish. Some additional examples are [10] [11] [12] [13].--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:03, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'd generously treat the nominator's claim that this "does not seem important" as a claim that this isn't an appropriate encyclopedia subject; but the article's references appear to confirm that it exists and has some cultural significance in the places where these are made. Actually wants expansion; judging from the photo I'm curious how the rice "bun" holds together. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:39, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
