 * Speedied as patent nonsense. Not a comment on the notability of a real article on this subject.  I mean, if we can keep breadbox ... RickK 23:53, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * i am a bit new are you refering to the article when you say "speedied as patent nonsense" are you refering to what i said or the article?JCS 00:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I meant the article. But see below.  RickK 04:37, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I was able to get a look at the history of this article just as Rick speedied it, and it looked like this was a vandalism that was never reverted. There was a real article on the subject, and someone leeted over it. -- Grev -- Talk 00:38, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Can we get the real article back then please? Kappa 01:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Pursue at VfU, if you believe it was improperly deleted. Content of the original stub was:
 * "An egg cup, sometimes called egg server, is a container used for serving eggs within their shell. Eggs could be either raw or hard or soft boiled. Egg cups have an upwardly concave portion to hold the egg and often include a base to raise the egg retaining portion and give stability."

Personally, I feel this content is criterion #1 in nutshell (or egg cup). On the other hand, I think there is a US College football game that is known as the Egg Cup. I'm not sure, though. Keep deleted. Geogre 03:08, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

I've restored the non-vandalized version. Sorry about that. RickK 04:37, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong merge to dishware, along with other stubs on plates, cups etc. Radiant_* 11:26, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * The Egg Bowl is the annual football game between the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University (now over 100 years old). It has nothing to do with egg cups. Right now this is merely a definition (when it is not vandalized). Someday it could cover the pez dispenser-like phenomenon of collectible egg-cups, but until then... move to Wiktionary.

 * Keep, everyday objects like egg cups and breadboxes are inherently encyclopedic. Kappa 20:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree with kappa, egg cups are notable. Klonimus 06:17, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
