[edit] Dutch Lobster

Dutch Lobster (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is little more than a series of dictionary definitions about a term that probably lacks independant notability. Of the three, the first is self-evident. The second is a one-off insult used in a relatively obscure 1908 book (which itself does not have an article). The third is a protolistic coining by Simon Travaglia, discussion of which rapidly devolves into original research and uncited self-reference. Serpent's Choice 07:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. As far as I can see the only unqualified statement here is "Dutch lobster is the name given to lobster taken from the coastal areas of The Netherlands.", which is fine but not the basis for an article. BTLizard 08:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete the article needs some work. If it could get to the level of Maryland Crab that would be O.K. Right now it is not encyclopedic. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
