[edit] Aussie Mite

Aussie Mite (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Vegimite clone that has no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability. The article itself provides insufficient information to assert notability, and there appear to be doubts as to whether it is being produced any more. Also included in this AfD is the producer of the product:

All Natural Foods (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

  • Delete, I was about to get angsty because I thought this was the Dick Smith clone, which certainly is notable. However, you are completely corerct, this is a non-notable clone that I've never seen in a supermarket before in my life (and I'm saying that as someone who enjoys thickly spread Vegemite on toast!).

  • Comment I believe it is the Dick Smith clone. --Gavin Collins (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment, Dick Smith's Foods product range ([1]) doesn't list it. The "Practically Edible" link below also states that "linkages between the product and Dick Smith Foods are unclear". The jar also doesn't have an Australian flag and Dick Smith's ugly mug on the label! In the absence of solid evidence, I don't think it can be proven that they're linked.

  • Merge and redirect Aussie Mite to Dick Smith Foods -- the company that distributes Aussie Mite. Not enough here (or much of anywhere) for a separate article, but it could be used as a search term, and Dick Smith Foods would be the perfect place to send users. Delete All Natural Foods as it seems to have even less information available than Aussie Mite. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 21:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete unless sourced (but without prejudice to recreating if and when the product achieves notability). I don't see proof of notability in the article and I couldn't find it in a quick look through the 470 (not unique) google hits. Practically edible is a specialized food encyclopedia, not a good source to show notability. The website says that "tens of thousands of Australians" are switching to this product. If that were literally true that's not enough to be notable just for popularity, but it's a new product so give it time. If it does well and becomes a notable product, surely someone will write about it soon enough. The article is so brief we're not sacrificing much to delete it for now.
