Tim Tam
This was previously speedy deleted with the explanation "CSD G11: Exists only to promote a product or group," but I restored it because I don't think it's that clear cut a case. No vote for now. Postdlf 00:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Its a notable product with a rich history. It could however be re-written and possibly expanded. Tarret 00:23, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable, internationally-available product. If anything, Tim Tam Slam is a far better candidate for deletion. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  00:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Lots of sources for its notability obvious from a quick google. (G11 getting off to a good start - it isn't even written like an advert). Yomangani talk 00:34, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, and not just because they are so tasty and delicious. The product is well-known, even outside Australia, and is just as encyclopedic as oreo. (Now I need a snack...) Agent 86 00:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Silly deletion, as a few seconds on google would have found. Natgoo 00:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is Australia's most popular snack food/chocolate in terms of worldwide recognition, total sales and revenue. This is definately a notable enough subject. Witt y lama 01:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, I was concerned when I read about CSD G11 that it may be misused to delete well-written, notable, encyclopedic articles on brand names or companies as "purely promotional". What next, Vegemite? Thanks for the restore and bringing it to AfD, Postdlf. --Canley 01:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This article has no sources but for the parent companies home page. *munch munch* I fully support the clean-up of advertising.  *slurp slurp*  This is probably best merged to the parent company.  *does proverbial slam*  I would have preferred that this be handled less expeditiously, both in the deletion and the restoration.  *blissful smile as melted-choc-goodness hits mouth* -  brenneman  {L} 01:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, the Tim Tam Slam article does have sources (of sorts). Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You were there at Articles for deletion/Tea-sucking when I did a complete rewrite from sources, remember? Uncle G 02:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ohh, yeah. Those were the days. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:23, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Almost everyone in Australia knows of Tim Tams. oTHErONE (Contribs) 02:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very wellknown product in Australia. I too am very concerned about CSD G11 and its potential for abuse. Capitalistroadster 03:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
