Talk:In-N-Out Burger products

message: I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/In-N-Out Burger menu items as no consensus. However claims that the article contains indiscriminate info have merit. I have thus tagged the article with a suggested merge to the parent article. This of course would require pruning the article which can certainly be done: why for instance do we need a list of soft drinks? Why do we need a long bulleted list of secret items with super-explicit descriptions? (especially since it's wholly redundant with the following sections) In fact, a merge is a perfect way to face the editorial problem of presenting the info concisely.

text: I don't agree with a merge.  there may or may not be issues regarding the current content, though I'm not convinced of anything in particular being a serious problem, but I think this is a perfectly sustainable article on its own. FrozenPurpleCube 21:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: No consensus on AfD. Merge a good compromise?

message: I noticed that undertow removed the reference to the largest known burger from this   page.  My guess is that someone saw that it was a 666x666 and thought it must be vandalism. It's not; that was a real burger.
The evidence (including a picture) shows up in the book _Legends of Caltech III_ by Mason Porter and Autumn Looijen, published by the Caltech Alumni Association in May 2007. The book can be bought via the Caltech Bookstore's website (and will be available on Amazon once they've confirmed that it won't throw their non-profit status into jeopardy). The ISBN number is already in the editing history -- I added it when the book came out, since people were asking for a cite.  The burger was also documented in Caltech's student newspaper, _The California Tech_.
Is there any objection to putting it back?  I didn't see the removal discussed anywhere, but I don't usually edit here and don't want to step on any toes.  (I also left this message on undertow's talk page over a week ago, but haven't seen any response.)
Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.2.131 (talk) 04:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Where did the "largest burger" reference go?

message: I see that in late December some "helpful" editor moved this article, apparently without discussion, from the proper "In-N-Out Burger menu items" to "In-n-Out Burger menu items" citing WP:CAPS. That's nice and I'm sure the edit was made in good faith but the plain fact is that the chain is called "In-N-Out" and the parent article is properly entered at In-N-Out with a capital "N". I'm a little fuzzy on the procedure to get this moved back to the proper naming but if any admin could jump in and fix it, I would be quite appreciative. - Dravecky (talk) 13:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalization fix needed in article name 

message: Unless someone can bother to elaborate on how those two sections are unencyclopedic I don't see any reason to label them as such. SirBob42 (talk) 01:14, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The section "Ordering an In-N-Out Burger" violates WP:NOTGUIDE and probably WP:NOTADVERTISING. And the section "The Secret menu" similarly fails WP:NOTGUIDE. This page has been subject to AfD twice in the past, and in both cases, the information contained in these sections were the primary complaints by the nominators and those who suggested deletion. I've labeled the sections as such rather than starting a third AfD because I feel the article and subject has some merit per the arguments in the last AfD. However, the concerns addressed there and in the comment by  have not been fully addressed. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 18:17, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Unencyclopedic?

message: let's keep the details of the secret menu. thiese are detailed facts that are not necessarily documented anywhere else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.116.101.206 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 23 July 2007
IAWTC... totally. I logged INTO Wiki just now to see if details of this secret menu I had heard of were here. Lo and behold they were... but the threat to delete them is here!!!  Thank you wikipedia, for having the info I needed. Shadowycat 13:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Keep the secret menu

message: I have worked on most fast food burger articles on WP and this one is one of the worst.
Problems include:
* This thing reads like a company brochure - WP:Notadvertising (as above)
* Weasel words abound.
* Massive redundancy, much of the contents is duplicated or triplicated
* It is overly explanatory - we do not need to explain every possible drink combo or variety. The majority of readers already know what a root beer float is, and if they don't that is what a Wikilink is for. (Root beer float) This goes across the entire article
I just copy edited this and will work on it some more. If it goes below 25K, I am renominating it for deletion. And in case you didn't know, I helped develop this article. Its creator used my input and knowledge from the BK and McD's menu items articles when creating it. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 08:33, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Awesome- glad to see someone experienced take a hand here. I wasn't comfortable gutting it myself so I had tagged and tried to discuss, as above. Also... you said if it goes below 25K you'd re-nom? The version before you started was about 14.7K. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 14:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Nicely done- the one thing I'd like to see though is a bolded article title per WP:LEAD. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 22:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Though I guess one wouldn't be necessary- I'm just saying it'd be nice (with an adjustment to the page name to facilitate it) —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 22:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I can not believe that this article has nothing about the bible verse on the cups and fry boats.  I came on wiki to see why they are there and there is no mention of them. I would add it but I know nothing about why they are there. Chexmix53 (talk) 22:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I went to the In N Out burger in Salinas, CA and tried to order a "#11" and the person working the register had no clue what I was asking. When I said add pickle to my double double she knew that. I did ask her if a #11 exist and she said she never heard of it. Has anyone been able to order a #11 or is able to cite a #11 exist? If not, it should be removed. Chad.hutchins (talk) 04:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone added links to the Burger King products and McDonald's products pages, but it seems to me that (a) there's no reason to do so, and (b) if one does that, links should also be included to other popular burger restaurants (Wendy's, Carl's Jr....) --tgeller (talk) 04:15, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
