[edit] British Sandwich Association

This was marked for speedy deletion as a non-notable club. The website claims it is an industry body though, which to me is notable enough for an AfD hearing at least. Thryduulf 14:22, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep if it proves verifiable. Thryduulf 14:22, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It has been proven verifiable, so my keep vote is unqualified. Thryduulf 23:40, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless verifiable. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I've seen sandwiches with BSA accreditation notices (even in Switzerland). Google seems to have enough third party references to say it's verifiable. JPD (talk) 15:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the website looks pretty legit to me. If it's some kind of hoax, somebody sure put a lot of effort into it. The BBC has quoted their spokesman, for example. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:28, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Verifiable? Yes, unless it's an elaborate hoax. Notable? Only to the extent of explaining why such an organization would exist to begin with. --Lockley 17:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Lockley, the answer is easy. It's so the British can keep up with sandwich techology, since they've been surpassed by the American Sandwich Federation. In any case, delete unless we can find verification.--み使い Mitsukai 20:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is a legitimate organisation. The article quotes the website (BSA) which isn't hoaxed. The article should have more content as it is a bit weak as it stands but it is verifiable in principle.  (aeropagitica)  20:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as an industry body representing, according to its website, "the UK's £3.3 billion commercial sandwich industry." --bainer (talk) 04:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Huh, yet another thing I'd never heard about before coming to Wikipedia. Verifiable and reasonably notable. -Colin Kimbrell 16:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and echo the statement above. Turnstep 19:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I too had never heard of this before seeing up for speedy deletion. I don't think I will ever cease to be amazed at what is on Wikipedia - Category:Fictional interdimensional travelers being a recent one. Thryduulf 00:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
    • The most amazing part of that category is the fact that it has the distinction "Fictional" as part of it. :) Turnstep 15:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
