[edit] Etymology?
Where does the name come from?--Cancun771 10:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
from VfD:
It's a recipe, and an advert. The bread does exist, and appears in several dictionaries of slang, but what to write about it? Not this. A search for 'damper bread' on google returns lots of recipes, and a few pages which suggest that it might have been formulated by William Dampier, who is worthy of attention. Is this stuff culturally significant in Australia, enough to warrant a page apart from Bread?. (aha, it's been fixed - there's nothing wrong with it now. Note that the original seemed to be an advert for a television programme, copied badly from the website of that programme. I now vote Keep - Ashley Pomeroy 14:16, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)) -Ashley Pomeroy 18:33, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete:The advertising, if not the entire article, looks exactly like a copy & paste, so it may well be copyvio. Aside from that, though, the entire lead paragraph is an ad. The only way to save the article at all would be to 1) edit out the whole first paragraph 2) insert a new lead saying that it's a bread reportedly based on what drovers made in the Australian outback, and then, after all that work (plus clean up and wikifying) just so you could transwiki it to Wikibooks and then...delete. Geogre 19:49, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)I wish we could get a legit article about Damper, but this isn't it. We've got other articles on Australian foods, but they're actually nicely-written encyclopedia articles. All this ultimately is is an ad for someone's purported reproduction of Damper, which doesn't belong here. Delete.Inky 20:32, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)- Ah, much better. This is more like it. Thank you, RaD Man, and change my vote to keep. Inky 21:38, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'd like to see an article about damper, too, but this isn't it. Transwiki if not a copyvio, otherwise delete and wait for an article. Wile E. Heresiarch 20:38, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)- Keep. It's now a completely different, and very nice, article. My thanks to the authors. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:54, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Stubified, and I'll expand it if nobody else does.
We seem to have no article on billy can either.Andrewa 20:48, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) - ...It's a kind of bread. Of course keep it. Everyking 23:09, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. I have expanded the article from Andrewa's stub. Damper is an iconic Australian dish. Capitalistroadster 23:57, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Extreme keep. Very interesting. Excellent save. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 00:39, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Extreme keep. Now a good article! -- Chuq 05:40, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep: DCEdwards1966 06:22, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. This is the most ridiculous VFD that I've ever seen. Next thing we'll be deleting pizza. Ambi 06:52, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Umm. Check the page history. Thanks. Wile E. Heresiarch 07:31, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, Keep, KEEP Part of Australian culture, and a good article now. T.PK 07:30, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, just for good measure. Lacrimosus 09:04, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. goodness, damper is to Australia, as ice is to antartica The bellman 09:22, 2004 Dec 4 (UTC)
- KEEP - this is a very deep tradition in Australia. Like hotdogs is to US, but less dead rats are involved.--ZayZayEM 08:07, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The keeps have it. [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 18:32, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Then I hope you all won't mind one more. Keep. Fascinating stuff to we who are subjected to that little-known meat by-product, particulate of deceased vermin. :^P - Lucky 6.9 22:35, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
