Talk:Biscuit warmer

The biscuit warmer can be a silver piece that holds a couple of biscuits and is placed next to the open fire to keep them warm. It can be also called biscuit box - yet the latter name can also describe a cookie jar. In the 1950s in the USA a bun warmer name was also used - but the same name also described industrial-sized electric appliances in the hotels. I would suggest steering this article to silver pieces, now only valuable as collectibles. Викидим (talk) 07:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

:I'm going to interpret this as moving towards what I just [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FBiscuit_warmer&diff=1223774208&oldid=1223621291 suggested] at the AfD. If I'm misreading you, please accept this as being in good faith.{{pb}}Based on my research, the silver plate pieces are the ones that are notable, and here are sufficient sources for notability of those items:

:{{pb}}At the AfD I suggested delete as currently this article is about a box-of-lost-toys category that isn't notable as a group. In theory, though, there's nothing to stop this from being renamed to Folding biscuit box. That would mean I'd change my vote to a keep, but with the express intention of implementing the rewrite and rename. Oblivy (talk) 08:17, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
