The whole page got deleted and replaced by a redirect to the main Mustard (condiment) page citing the reason as "bold redirect to mustard - no assertion of notability", I've put the page back as was. OK - the article could do with a tidy up and some references, but I'd have said mention by Shakespeare is sufficient notability? Jjasi (talk) 12:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
If in can be cited it can easily go in the main article but ultimately it has no assertion of notability. --neonwhiteuser pagetalk 00:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
"If it can be cited" - it is isn't it? It's from Henry IV, Part II, Scene 4, I'll add the full reference and a link to online text of the play. I think the article more than asserts the notability of TM and putting this level of detail in the main Mustard page would be inappropriate there. I think in any case the condiment is sufficiently different from the normal mustard condiment to warrant separate entry. Jjasi (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
How does it assert any notability at all? there isnt much detail in the article that isn't OR. --neonwhiteuser pagetalk 22:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I did say it could do with more references, I'll try and provide some, I still think it's notable purely from the historical perspective. It's mentioned in Shakespeare, documented as being used in slang and a condiment sufficiently different from either mustard or horseradish - that seems pretty notable to me. The problem with merging it into Mustard is that it's not just another mustard, putting it there would be wrong. If it was to be merged with any article it would make more sense to merge it into Tewkesbury but that's where the article used to be and was split out as there really was too much detail about it on that page so we'd be going round in circles.

As it's been almost 2 months without further comment shall we close the merge discussion with the decision "don't merge"? Jjasi (talk) 06:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
As there has been no further comment I'll archive the discussion with the result as Don't merge. Jjasi (talk) 07:09, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
