Nic-o-boli

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable, chain-specific food. The refs are poor quality: trip review sites noting that the restaurant exists, but no serious comment upon this as a distinct or notable foodstuff. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:45, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No reliable sources located outside of brief newspaper mentions and travel book items to support this article. No indication that this food is notable outside of Rehoboth, Delaware, USA. At best this item merits a one-sentence addition to Stromboli as a variant. Geoff  Who, me?  14:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliable sources, almost all sources given in the article are dead. May be a city specific food, but in any case is not suitable on an encyclopedia. Vacation9 (talk) 00:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

You just made a grave mistake deleting this page. The Nic-o-boli is arguably the most famous food item by name on the eastern seaboard of the USA. Google shows no less than 34,000 entries for this product. United States Presidents among other notable figures including athletes and celebrities have had their picture taken at Nicola Pizza (the home of the Nic-o-boli) and seen eating them.

Sheesh. Let's have a grown up conversation about this before you go deleting pages arbitrarily just because you've never heard of it. You simply need to search better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaplansa (talk • contribs) 03:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
