• Delete - no assertion of notability and no reliable sources. By the article's description this appears to be the Cantonese word for pancake - though the only sources are 3 blogs. Possible hoax. Possible speedy. SilkTork *^YES! 00:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doing a search on 雞蛋仔 returned these results, which gives this spelling: Gai daan jai which then returned this, while this spelling Gai dan jai, returned this. Now, I'm still not certain that this is a notable subject - the sources are mainly blogs - but this is not a hoax, and it's not a speedy. SilkTork *^YES! 00:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I'm not sure this is notable, but this appears to be little more than a dictionary definition. Are these just some kind of snack? Is there something ceremonial about them (such as with Mooncake)? In its current state, it shouldn't be here. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. I won't profess to be an expert on Chinese culture, but I am Chinese and I have never heard of these things before.

• Keep but change spelling to Gai Dan Jai (I have also seen Gei instead of Gai and Daan in instead of Dan). Linky goodness:

• Keep and Rename Gei Dan Jai Gai daan jai. Then do some redirects. They look tasty. I wouldn't call them pancakes though. But then I looked up
  Aebleskiver and they call them pancakes too. Hmmm... Still seems wrong to me. Bon apetit! ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment Wow, there are a lot of hits with Gai daan jai. So that's my choice for the preferred spelling, plus one of those sites calls them waffles. So that made me very happy. http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=ISO-8859-1&fr=vmn&type=facebook&q=Gai+daan+jai+ ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:34, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• comment I updated the article with a couple of decent references on this food. Also added some categories. I still support making the present page a redirect and moving the article to Gai daan jai. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm content with the sources provided now. Article needs to be moved to
