Haymaker Sandwich

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable sandwich. Article admits it is practically unknown outside Troy, NY. All information on sandwich is already found in article on Bill Craver. Redfarmer (talk) 20:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Bill Craver. Not notable enough for its own article. -- Beloved Freak  00:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Can I !vote moral support? I have ties to Troy, NY but can't come up with a valid keep reason.--Cube lurker (talk) 03:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The stub is weak, but the topic itself might be notable as a valid example of local cuisine.  This is notable for the same reason that Cincinnati chili, the Hot Brown, the East End Hoagie, and the St. Paul sandwich are notable, but for the fact that Troy is a smaller city than most of the associated cities.  The question is how notable is the haymaker to Trojans?  Is it the stuff of legend?  When and how often is it actually consumed?  How widespread is the sandwich, or the legend?  All these I think must be taken into account before the deletion. Bruxism (talk) 09:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Heh, I go to school in Troy, and this is the first I'm hearing about it. -FrankTobia (talk) 22:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I did some searching and came up completely blank. No one within Google's broad reach has anything to say on this subject, and I suspect it is non-notable even in Troy. I'm willing to change to a weak keep, per Bruxism's logic (above), if anyone can find some reason to think this sandwich is really notable in at least that one location.
