Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Little depth of coverage in reliable sources, per WP:CORPDEPTH. The product is mentioned frequently an ingredient in recipes, but not much more than that. Appears to be a run-of-the-mill spice manufacturer of local interest only. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:23, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep or at best draft and userfy as this is frequently used and is a known name. Unfortunately, searches found nothing convincing but there's no serious needs for deletion because of its current state. SwisterTwister   talk  04:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge into Tony Chachere. It fits well in the article on the seasoning's creator and there do not seem to be enough reliable sources to support notability for a standalone article. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 20:31, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable, although a subsequent merge with Tony Chachere might be appropriate as an editorial decision. I think the seasoning is notable, based on assorted references describing it as an iconic ingredient of South Louisiana cooking, and the company as an core cultural entity in its home town of Opelousas.   Examples:  (Tom Fitzmorris: the seasoning "is so widely used in New Orleans that 'add a little Tony′s' is instantly understood") . Having said that, there's a reasonable argument that the significant information would be more clearly provided in a single article discussing both the inventor and his invention.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:36, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge The information in itself is noteworthy enough for inclusion. The article itself is weak, however it could stand on this own. Barring that, a merge into the inventor's article would suffice. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:41, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge into Tony Chachere. As things stand right now, much of the instant article is already about the manufacturer, and not the ostensible subject of the article.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
