Cronut

edit

I see that you deleted our article on cronuts with the A7 rationale: "A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)".

In the very words of Wikipedia's CSF page: eligible subjects for A7 are "An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, with the exception of educational institutions".

Cronuts are food, not individuals human or animal, organizations, web content or an organized event and therefore are not eligible to be speedied. Guideline & Policy Wonk (talk) 01:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Who, pray, are the "we" who allegedly created the article. Google initially claimed 1.4 million hits for the word. On being pressed, it reduced that to 449 but that is still a significant number. However it still smells to me like a temporary New York craze so I am unwilling to restore it. But the text is below and if you re-instate, I shall take no action. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
A cronut is a combination of croissant and doughnut, invented and trademarked by Dominque Ansel Bakery in New York City.[1] The popularity of the cronut in just a matter of weeks created a black market where cronuts prices have gone as high as $40 each.[2]
