[edit] Radio malt

Radio malt (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced article that fails WP:NOTABLE with POV in there as well. Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 01:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - The product seems notable as it appears to have been an important dietary supliment during World War 2. As expected for a product that was around before the internet was, a google search does not bring back many reliable sources (although there are some in there). This article does not need to be deleted, but rather worked on, some people seem to have (fond?) memories of the product, and it is part of British history. It will need to be cited from books and publications Fosnez 02:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I have rewritten the article with sources as best I can, but if someone from that era can assist? Fosnez 02:19, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Julius Caesar was around before the internet was, and I have no problem finding reliable sources on him. Just saying. MarkBul 05:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I would reply that Julius Caesar was a lot more famous that Radio malt - but fame does not equal notability. Fosnez 05:47, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - The subject is notable and the citation is good. Colonel Warden 06:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I've done some more googling and added more information and references. --Zeborah 08:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Meets the general notability guidelines. There's lots more info at Google books. -- Jreferee t/c 05:51, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not every random food or drink is notable because it has a citation or two. ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 05:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
