Bow Wow Sauce

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article claims that bow wow sauce is another name for wow wow sauce. Wow-wow sauce article already exists, nor can I find any evidence that it is also called bow wow sauce. Another claim (that bow wow sauce originated in Painswick) is, I think, due to confusion about the Painswick tradition of "bow wow pie" (or "bow wow cake") in which a small china dog is baked in the pie. That's pretty much the whole article except for a Discworld reference repeated in the wow-wow article. Richigi (talk) 18:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect Smells like a WP:NEO but it does seem to exist. Unfortunately that single referenced book is not searchable on GBooks, but I am seeing a few hits in web. I'd say redirect to the main article, unless someone can come up with a definitive argument for just nuking it. § FreeRangeFrog 22:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I thought so too at first. But the more I sift through the ghits, the more it looks like the source of the info is the article itself, plus a couple of references to said book. I'm not utterly against a redirect, but I do wish I could get a peek at that book. Richigi (talk) 01:06, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yeah, I've seen that happen before. If the source is the Wikipedia article then it should be a clear delete, since it's not documenting but rather spreading the term. § FreeRangeFrog 00:29, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: Although the book is not searchable in GBooks, it definitely discusses the sauce, as does this Guardian article from 2005. I couldn't find anything else, except a mention in a poem in an October 1867 edition of the Nottinghamshire Guardian - which, at the very least, shows its not a neologism.

 * Redirect to Wow-Wow sauce. This appears to be a term that is used to denote Wow-Wow sauce, per and . Northamerica1000(talk) 23:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
