Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lolly salad

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Despite the move, the two main arguments for deletion, a lack of notability and WP:NEO, seem to be applicable at either location, so I'm not going to factor that in. There is some support for the inclusion of the subject but it simply doesn't answer the arguments for deletion. Notability is not self-evident and it's not established in the article or in this discussion, and a case for why WP:NEO would not apply is not made either.

Why are you trying to delete something that is part of our Australian culture? Why do you only allow American culture to proliferate? Please stop trying to obliterate our culture. J Bar (talk) 02:20, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from your single creation edit, the only other edits to this stinker in a year were technical. If it were really "part of our Australian culture" it would have had hundreds of edits, some vandalism, some discussion... you'll have to troll better than that. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a good redirect target for this? I know that sometimes it's easier to find a redirect target and merge/redirect. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:30, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting more hits under just "candy salad" so if this is somehow kept I'd recommend moving it to that title. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:32, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like there are varieties of this out there - some of them tend to fall within the notion of a Snickers salad, although the lolly salad in specific seems to only use candy. We might be able to turn this into a general article about candy salads and then mention the Snickers salad in specific, possibly even merge the articles into one beast.

I'm finding hits for candy salad with types like this one, so I'm leaning more towards making an all purpose article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:40, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now actually unfortunately as my searches found no better sourcing other than some links at browser. Feel free to draft and userfy and restart when better, SwisterTwister talk 06:40, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non notable salad, Unless the Aussies have never heard of a website called Wikipedia then I think we can safely say this isn't really notable ... or even known!. –Davey2010^Talk 01:42, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I arrived at the article while doing disambiguation, and I moved it to "Candy salad" based on the content of the article (perhaps not the same as when this AFD started). And I added a bit more. I see above that editor Tokyogirl79 found another reference which I will add. Seems like a perfectly fine stub article on an obviously valid topic. --do ncr am 00:13, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Wikipedia rules state that you should not move a page during a deletion discussion.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:12, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at Candy Salad. It's a thing notale enough. Makes me wonder if we already have an article under a different name. Wikipedia:Don't move articles at AfD is an essay, so not a hard rule. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:49, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
