Cricket Pasta[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Cricket Pasta is the name of a brand of pasta made using crickets. The couple of references that specifically mention the product appear to be niche publications, while the remaining references don't mention the subject of this article and are about insects as food in general. The article was created by a sock of a repeatedly blocked paid editor (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/New Editor 121) so the article may meet speedy deletion criteria WP:CSD#G5. All other significant contributors to the article, such as User:Primapagina, appear to be mostly single-purpose accounts as well and may be related to the sock farm. In any case, the subject of this article fails to have significant coverage in independent reliable sources and therefore does not meet notability criteria. Any useful information about the use of crickets or other insects in food could potentionally be added to other articles such as cricket flour instead.

Delete Once all the promotional content and unnecessary filling have been deleted, the limited remaining content could easily be incorporated into an article such as Entomophagy. DrChrissy ^(talk) 21:00, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Much of the content is already incorporated into Entomophagy#Crickets, which also covers the overall subject quite well from multiple perspectives. I agree that this article is excessively promotional as it is more focused on the companies that the subject matter. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 16:22, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Excessively promotional. If this material is removed, any worthwhile content could be merged into Entomophagy. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:16, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly a promotional article, with little to say and few on-topic citations, other than that insects such as crickets can be eaten, which is already in entomophagy as noted above. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:06, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
