[edit] HobNob

A consensus was reached at DRV to overturn the speedy deletion of this article [1]. This is a procedural nomination so I abstain. Thryduulf 15:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Well known British brand name. Article is not advertisement. — Tivedshambo (talk) 16:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Abstain Do we anticipate a separate article on every cookie/biscuit from every manufacturer? If this one is unique or otherwise notable, keep it. If it isn't, delete it. Being in the UK, I've heard of these and the company, and the article is fuller than most of the other biscuit articles being discussed, but I still do not feel that every biscuit in the world deserves an entry just because it is a biscuit.

• Keep. I share Emeraude's concern that not every line of biscuits needs its own article, but this is a major brand in the UK, found in most supermarkets and smaller shops. Andrew Levine 17:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Redirect to McVitie's. Remove the tangential etymology of the term "hobnob" and you don't have much content left at all. Could this actually be expanded into a genuine, stand-alone article? How? Postdlf 19:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Well-known brand, even outside of the UK, just as Tim Tams are well-known outside of Australia. Agent 86 19:43, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - per above - AfDs are getting ridiculous! PT ^(s-s-s-s) 20:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Meets the requirements for product notability. Original speedy was nonsense.Cynical 22:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, one of the more well-known cookies, even outside the UK. I've never had one, but as hell have heard of them. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Yummy keep Someone must have a grudge against HobNobs to speedy them. Popular brand, unique and great biscuit. -- jeffthejiff 22:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
