Not every sandwich or portmanteau word merits a WP article; in fact few do. This is no exception.TheLongTone (talk) 13:56, 9 May 2016 (UTC) TheLongTone (talk) 13:56, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Completely made up with no reliable sources even http://www.urbandictionary.com/ (which is not considered a reliable source) doesn't even have an entry for this. Besides Wikipedia is not a Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon or usage guide. - Pmedema (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Interesting idea, but the topic has received no (very little) coverage in reliable sources. Epic WP:N fail. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:58, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I modified my !vote per the keep !vote below. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:24, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I too thought the term was made up, but gNewspaper searches revealed mentions from 2007 in the Toledo Blade; from 1985 in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune; an advertisement from 18 April 1980 in the Observer-Reporter; and, from the Schectady Gazette of 14 July 1989. I wavered over posting this as a "weak keep" because these mentions are local newspaper restaurant reviews, one ad and/or even stretching toward "advertorials." But the timespan suggests this is a long-enduring dish and these examples of secondary source coverage seem to be sufficiently significant, taken as a whole, to establish notabililty per WP:GNG.Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 18:42, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I feel you are reaching for something that is still ultimately a WP:DICDEF and not suitable for inclusion. - Pmedema (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly merge to list of sandwiches?TheLongTone (talk) 13:47, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nore: The inclusion criterion for that list article is "notable" sandwiches, so I doubt that would be a stable result. --joe decker ^talk 00:59, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as still questionable at best. SwisterTwister talk 05:33, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
