East Coast-style bagel

After researching this topic, it does not quite meet WP:GNG, in terms of lacking significant coverage in multiple reliable sources to qualify for a standalone article. See the article's talk page for additional concerns that have been expressed about the topic. North America1000 13:17, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete It's misleading, as most sources use "East Coast-style" to describe bagels associated with, primarily, Jewish bakeries in New York and elsewhere in the eastern United States, and the nostalgia that goes along with those, not to a particular combination of sourdough and boiling with honey employed by one bakery in Halifax. Outside of publicity and trivial local coverage for that bakery and sources that appear to be cribbing their definitions from here, there's nearly no coverage of this term in association with bagels of the sort described by the article.

 * Delete per 's comment below re: the sourdough variation being written in the subhead of the Bagel article, with the caveat to recommending future editors of the Bagel article add a notation that this variation is common in Atlantic Canada (chiefly, Nova Scotia). Agree with that it is misleading/confusing. --Doug Mehus (talk) 01:03, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete There is some limited sourcing, but this is not a notable enough topic for a standalone article. The current sub-head in the Bagel article covers this short topic well for now. Also agree with Largoplazo that the title is misleading due to confusion with the East Coast of the U.S. StonyBrook (talk) 00:31, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
