Date square

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Extremely short unreferenced article about a dessert, likely fails WP:N and WP:PRODUCT. The only relevant google entries I found were of recipes.  Samuel  Tan  14:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I believe date squares are a pretty common dessert, and I feel that this dessert-stub could be expanded with some research. It deserves a place on Wikipedia within the scope of WP Food and Drink.  Addionne (talk) 14:59, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The article just needs expanding, that's all. 188 news articles, 25,000 google hits, and as it is not a product provided by any particular company WP:PRODUCT doesn't really make sense.  Plasticup  T / C  17:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 5 minutes work and the article is well sourced, wikified, and copyedited.  Plasticup  T / C  17:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: Non-notable. Will change !vote if sources are produced that are about the subject. Recipes are not reliable sources for notability.  D C E dwards 1966  20:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. They seem a commonplace enough article in Canada. One of the references, evidence to a Canadian Parliament committee, gives them as an example of something you might buy in a coffee shop, and many other web sources mention them in contexts other than recipes - for instance many coffee shop reviews, blogs etc mention them , , and a food safety site  even implies that they are part of a typical North American diet!
