Chip spice

Apparently this is a substance that's known in Kingston upon Hull, but I'm not finding any reliable sources that would satisfy the notability requirements. Note: When searching the Web, watch out for irrelevant juxtapositions of "chocolate chip" and "spice." Deor (talk) 20:28, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, but very weakly, and without prejudice. A Google search with a few limits seems to yield a number of relevant entries, and confirm the product's existence in several catalogues of spice blenders, but I don't see anything like a reliable source to confirm any of the recipes.  Then again, I always include paprika and garlic in chocolate chip cookies, too. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 20:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep For now at least. A quick search on the usual web engines provided me with an email address and phone number of the manufacturers. Perhaps if the article is given more time it may evolve with images and references. Trevor Marron (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Additional comment. A further search found a supplier of the product Trevor Marron (talk) 21:12, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I never doubted that the stuff exists, merely the existence of sources that would support an article. By the way, the manufacturer (I think) of the product you cite seems to be experiencing some problems. Deor (talk) 21:20, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, their product is in such demand that someone took the domain name and was using it to sell their products. So they had it shut down. lol! Trevor Marron (talk) 10:27, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and move to "French fry seasoning" to be consistent with article on french fries and put in Category:Herb and spice mixtures. Very notable, thousands of references available especially in food service trade publications.  Any time you eat seasoned fries, this is on it.  Very big at food service level in the U.S., less common at retail but available.  I was surprised there was not already an article on this. Drawn Some (talk) 23:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There are any number of french fry seasonings. According to the french fry article itself, Old Bay Seasoning is served on french fries in some areas of the USA.  Perhaps this is the origin of the "American" name?  At any rate, "french fry seasoning" is something much broader than what this article is apparently about. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 11:35, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Deletion seems premature while the details of this local delicacy are established. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:35, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Established how (reliably, that is)? Deor (talk) 22:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Give it a fixed period of time and a revamp. If, after that, we're in the same position as now, it should then be deleted.
