This appears to be predominantly advertising. Pies in popular culture may be notable, but I have my doubts as to whether this particular brand is. Brilliantine (talk) 16:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe the article in The Guardian is sufficient, it sounds like they are very popular at sporting events in the U.K. However, if it is kept, it needs to be moved to Shire famous pies. I think the promotional tone is not so bad that it can't be fixed. Beeblbrox (talk) 17:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I regularly go to 'sporting events' in the UK. No-one has really heard of any the brands (apart from maybe Pukka Pies) that are served up at the football, which is the basic focus of this article. 'Chicken Balti Pie' might be notable and is the focus of the Guardian article, but I very much doubt the company is. Brilliantine (talk) 02:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think if the article is kept it should be moved to Shire Foods, as that is the name of the company. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 10:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Poor POV spammy writing could be fixed by editing out adjectives such as "beefy" or "lamby" applied to athletes, but fails WP:N, even if they are the best savory pies since Sweeney Todd. Edison2 (talk) 04:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, rename to Shire Foods and tag for cleanup. A company with a number of notable products, very well known at least regionally if not nationally.  An additional source that may be useful. JulesH (talk) 21:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Unless someone creates a Shire Foods article for the merger of some of the text here, the article could stand a slicing. Too spammy, unfortunately. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Google News finds plenty more sources such as these. I agree that a move to Shire Foods would be in order. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
