Fails WP:GNG. Only sources I could find were various[1] recipe[2] websites[3] (seriously, these made up 90% of the google hits), a guide to various candy types[4], and passing mentions in books such as these[5]. Google News simply yields recipe websites. Less luck at Google Scholar, which only has passing mentions of the candy in sources such as [6]. WikiJoeB (talk) 01:41, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: a legit confection with a legit history even if online searches find primarily recipes. the quantity of recipes gives an indication that there is more depth to find for the interested and willing —¿philoserf? (talk) 08:26, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Please find me sources that show this legit history, other than recipe websites and blogs. Also, I’m unsure if food has its own notability guideline or not: if it does, can someone please link it here? Thanks. WikiJoeB (talk) 11:48, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiJoeBee: per my research there does not seem to be. There is WP:Notability (wine topics) but that's the closest I can find and to be honest that does not apply here at all. It seems like there is not any WP:SNG for food, or at least not an easily found one. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 13:11, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I looked through all of WP:FOOD and found no WP:SNG. —¿philoserf? (talk) 16:00, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Ah well. Thanks for the effort. WikiJoeB (talk) 03:18, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but Move to Potato candy. a WP:BEFORE search for "potato candy" turns up dozens of results in google news: [[7], [8], [9], [10]. A Newspapers.com search returns even more results. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she?) 22:03, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move (with redirect) to more general topic title per user:theleekycauldron or merge into some other suitable article on potatoes or candy. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 07:20, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Potato Candy. More than enough mentions in Gnewspapers to show it exists, going back to the 1950s. Oaktree b (talk) 02:18, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
