Non-notable product, bordering on promotion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:24, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - appears to be well known in Ohio, Google shows 30K hits, although a lot are recipes. Seems a local, but notable food item, similar to It's-It Ice Cream in the San Francisco Bay Area. The article could use expansion and more references though. Seaphoto^Talk 18:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't say "it needs more references" unless you can prove that more exist. I see the same thing happen every time someone says "keep but expand with more sources". The article then gets a crapflood of "keep but source more" !votes, it gets kept, and then no one ever gets around to adding the sources. Most of the time this is because someone will say "it needs more sources" but there truly are none.

My keep is based on the number of Google hits and mentions, since the delete was for notability. I then stated that the article needs more sources, which I didn't see on the web. With an older, regional company, they may be in book form or elsewhere. Please note, that I didn't vote, "Keep, but expand", nor did I say WP:ITSNOTABLE; I provided a concrete, verifiable reason for my vote. You can certainly feel free to disagree.

Delete despite Seaphoto's WP:ITSNOTABLE !vote I'm not convinced that it's notable, nor am I convinced that any non-trivial sources exist. Google Books showed only one-sentence mentions. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 20:31, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Trail Bologna is a folk food and an important element of the unique history of Holmes County, Ohio, which also contains the largest Old Order Amish settlement in the world. Trail Bologna is the product of the blending of cultures in the area. Due to it being a rural and sparsely populated area, electronic resources on historical facts are scarce, making it a difficult and time consuming process to locate solid sources to quote. However, given time to locate appropriate sources the article will greatly expand.Jshisler1 (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
