Scotch woodcock

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Nothing to indicate this is a notable savory dish. In addition, it remains unverified. seresin ( ¡? ) 01:08, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

speedy keep- it only has 2500 mentions in newspapers, 724 in books  and 938 in scholarly works.:) .    We have many, many food stubs such as Macaroni soup and Cheese pudding and thhe hundreds of others.  I don't mean 'other stuff exists' but that it's an acceptable type of article.  I could find sources, maybe I'll put some in, but I spent hours working on the two articles mentioned because no-one else bothered.  Why do people want to bring foods to AfD, especially when they haven't even looked to see if WP:RS existed themselves, as for this there are hundreds, or (shock) add a reference themselves? Do I have to spend hours on a food stub again like I did on the two I mentioned? It's not very exciting you know- maybe people could try it instead of bringing these to AfD.:) Sticky Parkin 18:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Some of these references seem to be to othher things but this is a historical dish, with hundreds of years of use, similar to Welsh rarebit. Sticky Parkin 18:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

comment -I have now added eight references to the article, including ones from the New York Times, the New Statesman and the British Medical Journal. Sticky Parkin 19:57, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sticky. Blimey, an AFD subject I'd heard of even before I went and looked it up! Good job on the citations.   Ka renjc 22:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
