Maryland Cookies
A consensus was reached at DRV to overturn the speedy deletion of this article. This is a procedural nomination so I abstain. Thryduulf 15:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Assuming this is indeed a big seller(IOW, really 12 billion sold each year), this should be kept, as it's obviously notable. FrozenPurpleCube 16:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Abstain, but leaning towards delete'. Do we anticipate a separate article on every cookie/biscuit from every manufacturer? I doubt the claim that this is the UK's leading seller, but this could depend on definition. The article is clearly written by someone in the UK, where the word "cookie" is used to refer only to certain types of biscuit.  My understanding is that in the USA and possibly elsewhere, "cookie" is synonymous with "biscuit".  So here's the vonfusion - what does a US reader get from the phrase "the UK's best selling cookie" and what does a British reader get.  Maryland cookies are certainly NOT the best selling biscuit.  Other parts of the article are unnecessary - drug smuggling for example -  but I refer back to my original point: Do we need an article on very cookie from every manufacturer?
