[edit] Boiled eggs

Saving this from speedy-Hell. This had a {{nocontext}} speedy tag, which didn't seem appropriate. I think this topic, which is no more trivial than some others around here, may well become an article, but abstain for the time being. u p p l a n d 15:02, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Is there any reason not to speedy keep this by now? It seems the only one wanting to delete it is User:Haza-w who added the speedy tag, and he hasn't explained why. u p p l a n d 00:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, well-known food item. Kappa 15:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• KeepI know all this is obvious to Westerners. I wrote the article partly for people from a non-western background who may be interested to know how Westerners cook eggs.Barbara Shack 15:24, 14 January 2006 (UTC) There was already an article, Hard-boiled egg which was non-contentious. The Boiled egg article was less developed when it got tagged for deletion. Speedy deletion is so quick people may not have time to resue their work, User:Haza-w please note. Can I remove the deletion tag?
• Speedy keep: noteworthy subject, meaningful stub, no actual grounds for deletion supported. Smerdis of Tlön 17:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Smerdis of Tlön Calsicol 19:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep just like fried egg and other dishes linked from Egg (food). Though the article could use expansion and a picture to bring it up to the standards of the other egg-articles. Perhaps rename to Boiled egg per naming conventions. Segv11 ^{(talk/contribs)} 21:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per all of the above. --RBlowes 23:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rename as per Segv11. Grandmasterka 04:31, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. A boiled egg is a major food in the UK. Talk to anyone in the UK and they will know what a boiled egg is. I'm suprised there hasn't been an article on this before now. Evil Eye 16:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
