The result was delete. Reasons given to keep are very weak. Popularity is not necessarily notability. WP:V not met and no evidence provided to suggest it could be. Neıl ☎  00:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Tater tot hotdish

No sources, one external link, no assertion of notability or popularity. No real context or potential of getting beyond a stub. &rArr;  SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  19:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable, more than a dicdef. -Drdisque (talk) 20:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Keep. Topic is semi-semi-notable and somewhat interesting. Luk  suh  20:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I always wondered what that stuff was called, it seems to show up at every potluck I go to... Anyway, all I'm finding is recipes, so I'd say delete for lack of coverage in reliable sources (and because I hate cream of anything soup).

 * Comment Damn. Now I'm hungry. As for notability: has this been discussed in newspapers, books or magazines? Edison (talk) 03:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and transwiki to Wikibooks Cookbook - no notability, only reference is a recipe on a website that describes itself as a weblog. Maybe mention it as an aside in another article, but doesn't deserve its own article AFAICT. Also, it sounds like it's the sort of thing that has all sorts of "unofficial", local names, so it's going to be a job just working out what name it gets transwikied under.

 * Keep It says it's "popular", so that's an assertation of notability. I google-searched it and came up with quite a number of hits, including an article on wikiHow "How to Make Tater Tot Hotdish". Notability enough. Herunar (talk) 07:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment That's not actually an assertion of notability. Popularity != notability. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  17:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a collection of recipes. WWGB (talk) 04:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
