Speedy deletion nomination of Mitch (bajan canadian)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mitch (bajan canadian) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Gobstopper

Hi. Only reliable sources can be included in an encyclopedia. The other major issue is that even with reliable sources any history section would need to be extensive. For instance, Gobstopper is a UK term, and we know they were eaten in the UK from at least 1923 (Roald Dahl includes them in his autobiography). In any history section we would need full details of when the candy was first eaten and thus far it's inconclusive. WisconsinPat (talk) 01:15, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Respondining to your question on the Gosbtopper talkpage. That isn't a reliable source. It copies work from from Wikipedia. Bascially we could type anything and it could appear on there. I've had a look at references for the candy and there is very little encyclopedic work on it. A history section cannot leave gaps, and there are too many gaps from what I've read on this. There is nothing definitive plus the sources are weak. WisconsinPat (talk) 06:42, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
