Hello Panda
A consensus was reached at DRV to overturn the speedy deletion of this article. This is a procedural nomination so I abstain. Thryduulf 15:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Abstain Do we anticipate a separate article on every cookie/biscuit from every manufacturer? If this one is unique or otherwise notable, keep it. If it isn't, delete it. In the UK, I've never heard of it or the company, so cannot comment on its notability or lack thereof. Emeraude 16:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep In fact, I speedy-undeleted this one myself during the DRV, as the accusation of "spam" was simply ludicrous. the original contributor has a long and varying contribution history, and is obviously not a spammer. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Meets the requirements for product notability. Original speedy was nonsense.Cynical 22:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I'm not keen on short articles like this which appear to have limited scope for expansion, and would prefer a system where notable-but-not-expandable products were described in an article on the manufacturer (along the lines of our fiction guidelines, in which minor characters are supposed to be described in an article on a series). That said, I don't see that this fails any inclusion guidelines. Get a reference for the claim that it's exported worldwide, and there's no further problem here. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 16:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, though I do wonder how you verify that something is carried in stores worldwide. You don't often find articles about what foods are found in stores. I've seen them in a couple different states in the U.S., at places other than import stores. They aren't as widespread as Pocky, but they are making inroads. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  23:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there are trade magazines that follow the grocery industry, though I wouldn't know how to go about finding this specific fact. I think the fact that they're available on Amazon shows their presence in the US.  Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I see these all the time in Australia, they're quite popular here. Definitely a worthwhile article. M.C. Brown Shoes 07:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to manufacturer's puny article as an example of a product they make. Why does it need a seperate article?  --Kunzite 15:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
