[edit] MooLatte
I had prodded this article before. The day after it was deleted it was remade. I still don't think this article has any encyclopedic value. It is a description of a type of drink offered at Dairy Queen. It's a hopeless stub, there's no guarantee the product is going to be a permanent part of the menu, and it has not achieved iconic status like the Big Mac which could justify an article. Brief mention is made to the fact that some people don't like the name but this is a minor controversy and can be easily incorporated into the main Dairy Queen article.

There's a detailed article for the frappucino including recipes, so I don't see why this particular product doesn't have a page telling of its composition and short history. Dukie010 08:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is no relation between the frappucino article and this one. We can't keep an article just because a similar article exists (see T&E:FEQ). Furthermore, I nominated MooLatte because I was aware of the article, I was not aware of the frappucino article (and probably that can be nominated for deletion as well).

- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 16:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Dairy Queen. Could probably merge Brazier (burger) and Peanut Buster Parfait as well, in a more detailed section on menu items. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 19:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Maybe there should be a "Dairy Queen menu items" page? None of those three articles are really fleshed-out enough to stand on their own, but merging them into one page (after some cleanup) and adding similar short sections about other notable DQ items seems like it would make an informative page without making the Dairy Queen main article too big.

- Comment No, there really shouldn't. "menu items" articles get deleted often. JuJube 01:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Dairy Queen. If that article gets too large its editors should create a menu subarticle. --Dhartung | Talk 20:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment if there is consensus to merge I'm more than happy to do it for Moolatte and the other items Elkman mentioned. I wanted to delete this article because I'm opposed on principle to the idea of having an encyclopedia entry for a random item off a fast food menu, but in retrospect a merge & redirect is probably better because it will make it less likely someone will recreate the article.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached
