 * Comment Sadly, I'm not finding much. The article itself references a History channel special, a piece in Bon Appetit, and something from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, but I wasn't able to find any of them; maybe someone else can? There's a bare mention in the Wall Street Journal here and a short mention in the Daily Meal here which was picked up by HuffPo here, but I don't know whether that's enough along with the local coverage to show notability outside the local area. They're sort of overshadowed by the major presence in the market, Graeter's, which is a shame. --valereee (talk) 11:54, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I think valereee and I had the same idea at the same time! There were articles about chocolates published in states other than Ohio (including Florida, New York, New Jersey, Louisiana, etc) in 1985 and 1991, which both had several paragraphs about Aglamesis, including how long they had been making chocolates (which I've added to the article), their manufacturing process, their flavours, etc. They are also covered in a few books - Cincinnati Candy: A Sweet History, by Dann Woellert, Arcadia Publishing, 2017 (pp 142-146); 8 Wonders of Cincinnati, by Wendy Beckman (also Arcadia Publishing, 2017) - has one page ; The Insiders' Guide to Cincinnati, by Skip Tate and Felix Winternitz, Globe Pequot Press, 1998 (on 2 pages, hard to see how much there is), and a later edition: Cincinnati - the Insiders' Guide by Felix Winternitz and Sacha DeVroomen Bellman, Globe Pequot Press, 2004 (on one page, can't see how much there is or isn't) ; I can see that the New York Times had something in 2014 ("Ever True to You, Local Parlor" ), but without subscribing I can't read it; and Mother Nature Network has 2 paras in "Where can you find the best ice cream in the U.S.?" . I know that Arcadia Press publishes "neighborhood, local, and regional history", but presumably their books are sold, or available, outside the region too? The History Channel feature would also have been broadcast outside the area. So it seems to me that it does meet WP:ORGCRITE: there is definitely "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source" for WP:AUD, and there is definitely also significant coverage, in sources that are reliable, independent and secondary. Multiple significant sources would, I think, be met by the The Cincinnati Enquirer, the Arcadia books, and the History Channel feature. (There is also a centenary history, Aglamesis Brothers Confectionery: 1908-2008, which looks significant but is probably not independent - the publisher is named as Ket-Moy Printing).

 * , Ket-Moy appears to be a brand-promotion company. I've requested the other books from the library, as I'm not getting to some of the pages on google books. --valereee (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: my bad, when I searched for sources at Newspapers.com I filtered by Ohio results, which made it appear as if the only coverage was local coverage. Article is showing much more robust coverage now outside of the Cincinnati region. Thanks to and  for helping improve this article! Enwebb (talk) 16:33, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
