Keep: I'm the one that wrote the article and I think it's ridiculous that it's even been marked for deletion (with some pretty weak excuses at that). There's articles for other brands of sausage and this brand most definitely deserves an article. And it does have a source; the company's website; if other sources are needed, how about people take the time and add them instead of just slapping an undeserved bad label on an article? Also, the article for Jimmy Dean sausage is written in much the same format (with only its website as its main source) and I don't see no "marked for deletion" label slapped on it.75.81.204.244 (talk) 02:33, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, weakly. This is a well known brand that's one of the traditional sponsors of the
Grand Old Opry. I'm surprised that I haven't been able to find more, but I did find what looks to be several pages of discussion in this book, and some discussion of the business when the founder died. This is one of the leading brands of bulk breakfast sausage, comparable to Jimmy Dean's or Bob Evans. May ultimately be a merger candidate, but keep for the moment. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:14, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply

Comment I grew up in Kentucky, so the brand and the slogan ("It's gooooooood!") are very familiar to me, but probably not at all elsewhere. A very odd name that seemed to take on a new dimension after the film Soylent Green came out in 1972. It might not be notable, but my original research confirms that, indeed, it's goooooood.

Keep: There is third-party coverage of this item that can be added to the article, I think enough to establish its a notable brand.[1] (1996 Associated Press article); [2] (2001 associated press article); [3] ("Old Folks Country Sausage is sold in 24 states"); [4]--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 06:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
