Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egg wash
Having worked in a bakery, I can testify that an egg wash is a very important concept, and a valid topic in and of itself.  It would be possible to write an extensive, tightly-sourced, highly encyclopedic article on this topic.  The current article is a stub but it is certainly not bad or problematic; this is a classic example of a stub that could easily be expanded into a good article.  Do a google books search for "Egg Wash" or "Egg Wash is".  Google news and google scholar also turns up some relevant sources.  Yes, Wikipedia is not a cookbook, but I think cookbooks can be used as valid sources per , especially ones by famous chefs, and books that are themselves widely known.  In fact, I'd say for culinary topics, cookbooks are often among the BEST sources.  Also, there is other relevant material out there, including patents relating to an egg wash: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22egg+wash%22+patent&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=nNex9vi2WG4, vegan substitutes for egg washes, etc
