The tag says it all. It doesn't desrve an article as it doesn't cite any references or have any sources.Maybe redirect to Candy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by IslaamMaged126 (talk • contribs)

  • Speedy Keep. "It doesn't deserve an article" is not a deletion rationale. And lack of references is not a reason for deletion unless something cannot be verified to exist. This almost 5 year old article can be easily referenced. --SmashvilleBONK! 22:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This isn't even close. Sources and citations should be easy to come by, and probably once were there, but deletion is not the remedy. Jacksinterweb (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • If redirect to candy, maybe there would be a better chance of good sources there?IslaamMaged126 (talk) 22:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep and close due to WP:SNOW. This can easily be fixed with sourcing, and how does something so closely associated with the Christmas season for years not deserve an article? Mr Senseless (talk) 22:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Google news has [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=d&as_mind=25&as_minm=12&as_maxd=26&as_maxm=12&q=%22candy+cane%22 1,863 hits] for "candy cane" in the last day. And yes, some of those are things named after the candy cane...but...the fact that they are named after it makes it notable. --SmashvilleBONK! 22:39, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
