Chocolate pudding
I realize that chocolate pudding is notable enough to warrant mention on Wikipedia, but this article is so brief as to be almost empty. Plus the author makes a claim and provides no reference for the claim. The statement "Currently, the top-selling brand of chocolate pudding is manufactured under the Jell-O® brand by the Kraft Foods Corporation." the author needs to date that statement, and provide a reference. So I suggest Delete and any relevant information can be combined into an article about puddings.TheRingess 04:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but slap it into a stub, and removed the biased stuff. -- 9cds(talk) 05:43, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand User:mizmuzik 3:11, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If you remove the unsourced statements, you're left with nothing apart from the statement about it's dark color (which is false if you talk about white chocolate pudding). There's really not much to keep. - Mgm|(talk) 10:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the rewrite. Good job. - Mgm|(talk) 12:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge with pudding, which could use some cleaning up, BTW. --Angr (t·c) 12:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC) Changing vote to Keep the expanded version. --Angr (t·c) 09:15, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. There is a lot to be said about chocolate pudding rather than pudding in general.  As for the claim that Jell-O brand is the top selling pudding, I don't know, but according to Kraft's website Jello-O brand gelatin is the "world's most popular prepared dessert."  Kraft says that the pudding "has been an American family favorite for 63 years" and that 64% of mothers they surveyed said that the pudding is their child's favorite snack.  Based on that, I wouldn't be surprised if it is the top selling pudding. Crypticfirefly 16:28, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe that instead of marking this article for deletion, it should have been marked for cleanup, as a stub, and as needing verification. Therefore, I have rewritten the article to accomplish at least some of those things to a certain degree. Crypticfirefly 19:19, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep in present form. Legitimate topic, food that is of cultural significance in the U.S. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would say "merge with pudding", but the other puddings have articles too. --FuriousFreddy 01:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as rewritten. It now looks like a solid stub. Jamie (talk/contribs) 02:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
