Salty Chocolate Balls

Delete: No chance of being encyclopedic, and at best requires a short mention in the South Park page, doesn't deserve it's own article. Coolgamer 00:39, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Comment A re-nomination, there was a consensus to keep in April 2004 (see talk page). Yes re-nominations are allowed, just so people know Kappa 15:57, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep Needs to be expanded to include episode info (the article title is also the name of the episode). [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 01:42, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep large enough to be better with its own page. Kappa 15:53, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete or redirect only: Don't care how much detail someone puts into it, there is no way to discuss salty chocolate balls in general. There is only a way to discuss a South Park episode. Therefore, the position of the information is in a South Park article, and not alone. 15:58, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Above vote left unsigned by User:Geogre. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 16:26, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Sorry. I must have hit 3 tildes instead of 4 or 5 instead of 4. Geogre 22:03, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The article is not merely about a South Park episode. Please check what the topic is before voting. Factitious 16:44, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
Keep. The song by the same title reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. The term is famously recognized. Easily notable enough to warrant its own article. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 16:26, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep, a cultural phenomenon for sure. Everyking 16:44, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Comment Salty licorice balls exist! http://www.dutchmarket.com/ppsltcndy.html offers item 14-3474, "Black balls: Large Round Candy Balls Filled With Extra Salty Licorice Powder." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 17:15, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Extremely strong KEEP. VfD relist from April; see the article discussion page. Kinitawowi 18:44, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
If RadMan's comment about the #1 song is correct. Keep, but I wouldn't mind a redirect. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 19:14, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
- The song, actually entitled Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You), reached number 1 in late December 1998. See List of Number 1 singles (UK)#1998. Kinitawowi 11:31, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)

Keep. The song was also a hit in Australia. I remember it being played on JJJ all the time at the end of 1998. I am not a regular watcher of South Park and I am aware of this. Capitalistroadster 01:54, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Notable hit song, one of the most well-known things from South Park. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 07:27, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep, meets and exceeds the bar for Wikipedic notability and is deserving of its own article. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 17:32, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It was overwhelmingly kept last time. If the lister read the talk page before listing it again -- and he should have -- then he knows that and this listing is unsupportable.Dr Zen 02:47, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Obvious keep. Gamaliel 02:54, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
strong KEEP MH 12:55, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC) could be expanded to or merged with Chef's own article (to come).
Keep and expand. The Recycling Troll 21:19, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Strong keep. GRider said it best. This is not merely fancruft. It spawned a hit song and, apparently, a legitimate recipe. - Lucky 6.9 02:23, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
