Steamed sandwich

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

Contested prod. Regional culinary item which does not establish notability through the inclusion of reliable, third-party sources. The Lincoln Fresh-O-Matic, the declared "standard sandwich steamer", is a generic steaming device and in no way specific to the item described; descriptions of it on product sites don't appear to make any reference to this subject.

 * Delete This is merely a style of preparing a sandwich which has dubious standalone popularity as, say, boiled beef. Possibly redirect or merge to the main Sandwich article. §FreeRangeFrog 19:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with sandwich. This is currently nothing but WP:OR, but I would still consider it worth saving if I could envision it as something other than a preparation method, rather than an actual food item. A line or two of this concept to sandwich is fair, methinks. Un  sch  ool  01:03, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as essentially obvious from the title. A steamed sandwich is just like a sandwich but steamed. No kidding? I didn't know that it was a regional thing, though. WillOakland (talk) 07:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Earlier revisions of the article state that it's available in a handful of establishments in Knoxville, TN. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete There are lots of ways to steam a sandwich. This type of steamed sandwich is not notable. Section in "Sandwich" would read "A steamed sandwich is a sandwich that is steamed". It would also describe the generic Taiwanese "steamed sandwich". It wouldn't say anything about the Lincoln-steam-o-matic, or insist that the sandwich contain meat and cheese.
