The result was redirect to List of instant noodle brands. While it's true that the nominator has been sock-blocked, the nomination seems reasonable and has in fact gathered a consensus to delete. czar's redirect suggestion makes sense, and I don't get the feeling that any of the people arguing to delete would object, so that's what I'm going to do. I am wondering if describing the article as underfed is just a typo, or some clever pun -- RoySmith (talk) 23:56, 26 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Unreferenced since seven and a half years. There are a few sources like this but seems to me to fail product notability. What do you think? Why should I have a User Name? ( talk) 23:01, 7 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Comment - Being unrefed is not a valid deletion reason. If WP:BEFORE shows no RS refs, then that is a valid deletion reason. VMS Mosaic ( talk) 11:30, 15 November 2014 (UTC) reply

It's used as a Canadian stand-in for ramen. "In a pinch, they'd open a Mr. Noodles (instant noodles), pour hot water on it and yum, dinner!" "You end up buying a lot of really bad things like Kraft Dinner and Mr. Noodles, anything that can be done quickly and cheaply. It's so bad for you." In any case, it would be redirected to the list of instant soups before it is deleted outright. I can't find super (souper?) sources on this but I'm also not as familiar with Canadian publications or foodspace. While we can confirm that it exists, we know little else around it. That makes it a fine redirect target for our purposes. czar  ⨹ 04:03, 24 November 2014 (UTC) reply
