[edit] Finland honey
Also Philippines honey
Article is unverified and from what I can see unverifiable. I did find one source that verifies the fact that honey is produced in Finland, but nothing that shows this is in anyway an important industry in Finland. It isn't a "branded" item like "Belgian Chocolate" and I fail to see the significance of it such that it supports an article. Delete.--Isotope23 15:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm adding Philippines honey to this AfD because it is essentially the same propostion. The article contains much that should be at Honey and doesn't show any importance for the Philippine honey industry or the honey as a "brand". Compare to the creator's other article Pitcairn Island honey which, while unsourced, is verifiable as type of honey "branded" as being from that region.--Isotope23 15:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

- Merge facts into honey. Just H 04:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge or Keep Merge per above point, Keep due to the fact that these articles can be improved. If it was about American honey, it would be kept. Sharkface217 04:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- weak keep, or failing that merge - coming from a country which has honey as a fairly major industry, I am aware that types of honey vary immensely from location to location. Given that, I can see the potential for the growth of these pages. Having said that, there is not that much here at present which could not be successfully merged with the main article. If kept, I could see a case for renaming (Finnish honey, etc). Grutness...wha? 05:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC) (slightly surprised that there is no New Zealand honey article)
- Is it a major industry in Finland? The reason I brought it to AfD was because I couldn't find any sources to suggest it was an important industry in Finland, as opposed to Bangladesh honey which I was going to AfD as well, but found several sources to suggest Honey is an important industry there. In fact the reason I didn't boldy merge this is because I couldn't find reliable sources with which to verify the information for a merge.--Isotope23 14:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know. You may have misunderstood my comment - that is, that I can undestand having separate articles simply because I know a little about the honey industry due to its prominence where I live. My point is simply that honey does vary from place to place - given that there is honey produced in Finland, it would make sense to have an article detailing its history and varieties. This article could be expanded to cover that, but if that doesn't happen then merger is a reasonable option. Grutness...wha? 00:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, you are correct... I did misunderstand your comment. I thought you were saying you were from Finland.--Isotope23 01:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- Merge both to honey. JIP | Talk 06:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to honey and if there are other countries (not branded) that should be done as well. SkierRMH,06:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to honey to give the article a much needed international flavor. -Mgm|(talk) 13:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge, either to honey, or to some new article like varieties of honey by place of origin or something similar. I don't see this as being impossible to source, and honey from different localities is going to differ in character because of differences in bee species and native flowers. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
