Does any of this meet WP:GNG requirements? I am skeptical, but I would invite the wider editorial community to offer their opinions. And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC) And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, rename, and improve. This article is written by a new editor and like many new articles it will benefit from editing to make it better conform to Wikipedia style, sourcing, and content standards. It should be renamed Avocado toast in keeping with Naming conventions (capitalization) and Manual of Style/Capital letters.  The subject is notable (indeed, ubiquitous and unavoidable, if you live in certain parts of the world), and two solid sources are already provided, containing substantive discussion of avocado toast's history and recent popularity. In addition to the cited Washington Post and Vice/Broadly articles, other potential sources include, for example, ABC News ("Avocado Toast May Be The Hottest Breakfast Food Since Regular Toast"), The Australian ("Avocado toast even dreamier"—quote: "Avocado toast is everywhere you turn, and I don’t think it’s an overstatement to call it the emblematic food of our times"); and Los Angeles magazine ("In Defense of Avocado Toast", with the entertaining subtitle "Just because Gwyneth Paltrow endorses it doesn’t automatically mean it’s bad").   --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:44, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Snow keep And rename, per Arxiloxos. Clearly meets WP:SIGCOV as it stands and, as Arxiloxos notes, there are many more reliable sources out there with coverage from Australia, to North and South America and to Europe. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 22:41, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep legit, notable food item. But be careful of spam on this page. --203.175.67.197 (talk) 07:59, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - while not popular when Wikipedia started in 2001, it is now well-established by the sources. Bearian (talk) 20:08, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
