 * Keep I would like to translate the French article, but my English is not enough good to do it. It's just a stub. And I consider that when an article is available in a langage (in French for this article), we must give the possibility to anyone to read it in its native language.

 * Keep, weakly. Actually, the French article is not much better or more informative; it tells you that a demitasse spoon is in between a teaspoon and a swizzle stick, that it can be made of metal or pottery (?), and that it has a concave part like spoons tend to have. On the other hand, I find it hard to imagine that there isn't something out there explaining why such a size was thought useful; there is some cultural history out there.  This may ultimately be a candidate for merging into spoon, but that's another matter entirely. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep and redirect to Spoon. It's certainly a reasonable search term, but there doesn't appear to be much more material out there than would make a short description of how it's shaped and what it's used for. Etiquette guides and handbooks on coffee were the only significant coverage I found, maybe two paragraph's worth total. (They can also be used, apparently, for parting and holding delicate tissues during surgery. Hernias came up in my search much more often than I would have liked.) --Danger (talk) 12:49, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of types of spoons. No merger necessary, as the description there is pretty much what's in this stub. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:13, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Much more can be said about it than would fit in a list.  The use and etiquette of the object is a matter for an encyclopedia, not a dictionary.    DGG ( talk ) 15:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
