 * Keep. The article already has two good references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is interesting and locally notable. As indicated above, it has two good references. --Bduke (talk) 03:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised that the two editors above say that this has "good references". The first has half a sentence, "as did his Bowland cheese, made with cinnamon, apple and raisin" saying that this cheese won a prize at a county show, as various of my aunts and great-aunts and friends of the family used to every year, and the second is a clear advertisement complete with contact details.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete WP:INTERESTING and WP:ITSLOCAL are unconvincing keep arguments.    ArcAngel    (talk) 23:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - As noted by Phil Bridger above, neither of the sources included in the article are valid significant coverage in reliable sources. Searches did not turn up much aside from brief mentions and sales pages. Rorshacma (talk) 23:30, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - How exactly are we supposed to determine the notability of cheese?KatoKungLee (talk) 16:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - Through the coverage it receives in reliable sources, just like any other topic. In this particular case, I'd say that WP:NPRODUCT would be one of the appropriate guidelines. Rorshacma (talk) 20:01, 22 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete I was going to suggest merge to Lancashire Cheese but I couldn't find reliable sources identifying Bowland cheese is a type of Lancashire cheese. I'm excluding sites that look like wiki mirrors. Graywalls (talk) 02:25, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, reluctantly - a source search shows it's clearly a product sold by several cheesemongers and supermarkets in the UK and NL - clears WP:V - but I just can't find anything that would source it properly. SportingFlyer  T · C  15:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @SportingFlyer I found a page in Dutch on a website about cheese. Bowland - Kaas.nl Not a very long entry, though. Mostly a description of its flavour. Useful or no? MtBotany (talk) 16:17, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It could be useful but it's incredibly short and there would still need to be additional sources. SportingFlyer  T · C  16:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Everything else I found, like on archive.org, are passing mentions. Like The Good Food Guide - p.114 and The Pub Guide 2008 - p.48. And one false positive in an old book in German. Shame, seems interesting, but as you say we need good sources. MtBotany (talk) 17:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
