Notable?

[edit]

What we have here is a dictionary definition (actually two of them).

Yes, a honey dipper is a turned wooden implement used to dip honey.

The term, which is not the topic of this article, is also used to mean something else.

@SummerPhDv2.0: I took great care, as I take it upon myself to do when creating articles, to adequately source this before its creation. So, at least in my opinion, it is notable (especially when my next sentence is taken into account). Compared to some similar articles that exist, it is very well sourced: Category:Kitchenware stubs. I've expanded the article some, and added two more references. Regards,Godsy(TALKCONT) 06:59, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This article, previously deleted as a dictionary definition is, again, a dictionary definition of the term "honey dipper". An article about honey dippers would start with telling us what it is and go on to say something more: history/origin/evolution/invention, importance in context, variations, production, etc. Instead, we are told what the term "honey dipper" refers to: (1) a wooden or plastic tool for dipping honey. (2) (slang) a person who empties septic tanks.
Of the content here, all of it is currently in Wiktionary. Either they have allowed an encyclopedia article or this is a dictionary definition. - SummerPhDv2.0 13:45, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The honey nut cheerio content (which you removed [1]) expands upon Wiktionary. I've restored it with a second source and with wording that better pertains to the sources [2] (Update 23:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC): Expanded further). It could be expanded to contain some of the information you mentioned above; I don't have access to the sources needed to do that at this time (I've exhausted what I can find that is freely available online).Godsy(TALKCONT) 18:07, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SummerPhDv2.0: I believe this meets the general notability guideline. Any opposition to removing the {{notability}} tag?— Godsy (TALKCONT) 11:10, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing the cleanup template message as 10 days have passed with no objections to its removal.— Godsy (TALKCONT) 15:44, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1917 Russian Revolution

[edit]

This was challenged:

During the 1917 October revolution in Russia, the Bolsheviks used a honey dipper as one of the symbols of the revolution to inspire the peasantry class to join the fight.

by this

{{Cleanup|reason=In the third paragraph there is a problematic information: "During the 1917 October revolution in Russia, the Bolsheviks used a honey dipper as one of the symbols of the revolution to inspire the peasantry class to join the fight." I've tried to find it true, but there is no any reference out there in the internet. Also, this is the first and only contribution of wikipedian user '[[user:Lordsebbo|Lordsebbo]]'. It is more likley that [[Spindle (textiles)]] represented the peasantry class, which in the russian language '????????' (Spindle) means also a honey dipper (it also look like a honey dipper), so maybe there was a mistake. |date=October 2018}}

No reference so removed and placed at talk. RJFJR (talk) 18:10, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
