Matzo Shortage of 2008

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not reach the level of notability for an event as there has been insufficient coverage of limited significance and there was a short news cycle for this one-time event. A current search for reliable sources turns up far fewer than would be expected for a noteworthy event. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 21:14, 24 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - while covered in a couple of notable news sources, it seems that this isn't notable for an article of its own.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:01, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. A related article, 2008 Passover margarine shortage, was kept at AfD in 2010.  Articles for deletion/2008 Passover margarine shortage (2nd nomination). (Despite the title, I don't think there was an earlier AfD.) This article should probably be merged with that one under a more general title like 2008 Passover food shortage and evaluated together.   The tone of this article is also a bit unencyclopedic, which contributes to the sense that the content doesn't merit preservation. In fairness, though, coverage of Passover food shortages was quite extensive during spring 2008, in both secular and Jewish-oriented media.  At minimum, there should be sourced references to the shortage in other appropriate articles, such as Manischewitz (since that company's temporary manufacturing problems were reported to be a major cause for the shortages:). --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:21, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete for now at best because this still seems questionably better and questionably notable and thus there's obviously no better information since this was a then-event, nothing else better convincing. However, Redirect where ever needed, SwisterTwister   talk  05:15, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Delete. not notable on its own. Perhaps it could be merged into some other "Passover" article, but it hardly seems worth it. Don't need an article every time there's a product shortage.VanEman (talk) 17:42, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
