Funnel Dog

Funnel Dog (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Contested prod. Non-notable dish, available at only two restaurants, invented last summer. No prejudice against recreation once it catches on, but for the time being, Delete.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. This article meets the Wikipedia Notability guidelines. The verifiable source (Wild Rivers Waterpark) main website has listed this as a premier item on the 2009 menu and is heavily advertising it as a new, exclusive food product. This is more than just a trivial mention and is not the main topic of the source material. This material is produced independent of the subject.  Cwsocha -timed 00:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

• Delete. The company that sells them is not a sufficient source to show notability, which requires 3rd-party sources. What's needed are substantial mentions in newspapers or magazines.   Will Beback  talk  00:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - Fails to establish notably for product. ttonyb1 (talk) 00:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm unable to find reliable, independent sources for the current content of the article, so I'm saying that it fails WP:N. The name "funnel dog" antedates the product treated in this article by at least a year, although that version seems to be somewhat different from what's described in the article. However, a similar, and identically named, product was being sold at a minor-league baseball park in Arkansas at the time of its putative invention in California. If an article can be written that treats the existence and development of this (rather icky sounding) comestible with appropriate citations, it may be admissible; but in the absence of independent sourcing and encyclopedic treatment, the article is best dispensed with at this time.

• Delete - there is no reliable coverage about this particular creation known as a funnel dog. There's this and this but there are about different producst although similar in concept. -- Whpq (talk) 16:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
