[edit] Chip butty

in common with Bacon butty, this is unsourced and when it mentions meat and cheese, not that logical or factual. Also puts an importance on a foodstuff which is barely worth an article. Not notable enough and as it stands, this is a personal essay on what is a snack in some regions of the country - and original reserach is not liked round here.

• Keep: A chip butty is original research? Are you a southerner??? :-o lmno 11:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I am Lancashire born and bred, but don't think this, or the equally useless Bacon butty should be here. I've just read that Bacon and eggs is "culturally significant" which is yet more patent nonsense. This article is essentially "people in one region of one country put chips on some bread and eat it". It's borderline original research, without any references or citations, it's not notable outside a small region of the country. doktorb | words 11:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
    • chip butty and bacon butty are the first two sandwiches listed on Irwin's Bakery's page of ways to eat Nutty Krust bread. Irwin's Bakery is in Northern Ireland. Uncle G 13:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite It's good food, but the article looks really bad Sceptre ^(Talk) 11:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Notable item of British cuisine. I'm Australian and I've heard of a chip butty. Capitalistroadster 12:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wiktionary, no encyclopedic content. —This user has left wikipedia 13:21 2006-01-29
  • "Chip butty" is not an idiom, and Wiktionary has a stub dictionary article for butty, thank you. It has no need of an encyclopaedia article about a type of sandwich. Uncle G 13:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Not worthy of an article of its own. Should we have an article for every type of sandwich? It is unreferenced also. -Localzuk ^(talk) 14:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• merge to Sandwich -- Astrokey44|talk 15:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite but keep - a notable British food. --Celestianpower ^háblame 15:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The combinations and permutations of foodstuffs are astronomical: a few will deserve dictionary treatment, and a very few encyclopedia treatment. This isn't one of them-- it's merely a noun phrase.--24.209.173.129 18:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC). Forgot to sign this.--MayerG 18:49, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep How often do you hear anyone asking for a Chip sandwich? We dont all live in the home counties.--Pypex 19:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I can't believe that this is up. Englishrose 21:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment This is up because, as mentioned above, the permatations are endless. This is just a regional foodstuff of little note, and in any case the article is inaccurate. Deletion should avoid other such articles. doktorb | words 22:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per others. Arbustoo 22:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, like it or love it the chip butty is part of British 'culture' (I'm a Brit so I can put culture in quotes if I want to ;) ) --kingboyk 22:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep!! Next... (in the style of Simon Cowell) SP-KP 00:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand what sounds like a culturaly notable sandwich. - squibix(talk) 14:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as it is something people like to eat Kurando | ^_^ 16:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
