Talk:Blue potato

This is no hoax. The Blue Potato was not in the North American market until the early 1990s, and the first author of this page is a relative of Syvlan Hart, and personally responsible for the planting, weeding and harvesting of these rare potatoes for many years. The URL references at the bottom are to published works that validate this posting.


 * Indeed, I've found a BBC ref which I'll add. However, i suggest a merge with potato if there's no mention there. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed; I have removed tags. I feel that this potato deserves a stand-alone article.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I think there needs to be significantly more material and references to justify that; however I'll leave it to others to make that decision. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:16, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

They are delicious, I'll say. DS (talk) 03:27, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, this tale of smuggling to Sylvan Hart sounds like make-believe. Can we have some better evidence for this having happened? Fences  &amp;  Windows  22:42, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Merge
I don't know who put the merge tag on this article, but I'll step up to be the first to recommend the merge with potato. --CPAScott (talk) 14:50, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I think that one is happier to receive this page when one googles "blue potato". I'm against merging it with "potato" article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnGeLZzZ (talk • contribs) 15:11, 15 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The merge I suggested has been pending since May, with hardly anyone commenting upon it, so I'll merge the articles in a week's time if nobody else objects. Thanks, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well it's been almost a month with no comments, so I'll merge tonight. Thanks, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:11, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
