Yes, it exists. Yes, I've heard of it. However, I am unable to find any independent reliable sources that have enough to say about it to support a reasonably detailed article. SummerPhD^v2.0 14:40, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep/Redirect to List of products manufactured by The Hershey Company where it is already included and briefly described. There are plenty of results that come up with searching, but as mentioned by the nom, they are all pretty passing and mostly just describe what the bar is made out of. It seems to be a product that is mentioned a lot in sources, but without anything actually in-depth said about it that would allow for much of an article. About the only coverage I'm finding that really goes beyond mere mentions are a couple of articles reporting on an anecdote that John Smoltz recounted last year about his belief that Zagnut bars are unlucky. I'm fairly undecided about whether I think the article could be built up or not, but, as there is a good target for a Redirect if nothing else, deletion is not appropriate here.

• Keep. A brief online search turned up a large multitude of sources on this subject, and searches on Google Books and sources like Newsbank/Lexis indicate there are many offline sources about this topic as well. Since this type of candy bar predates the Internet but multiple decades, it makes some sense that there isn't a lot of new coverage easily Google-able sources, but that shouldn't be taken as an indication it hasn't received coverage in sources. The sources are out there for anyone inclined to do some digging, and while the article as it stands right now it needs work, that in itself doesn't mean it's not notable or should be deleted. — Hunter Kahn 14:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Passes WP:GNG.-Splinemath (talk) 02:59, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Historical candy bar. Mentioned in Sweet Tooth: The Bittersweet History of Candy, page 244 and passing mention as part of Hershey's brands in Candy Bites: The Science of Sweets, Page 13. Numerous mentions in gBooks, mostly in passing, but giving the historical context for the once more ubiquitous candy bar. Passes WP:GNG and note that notability is not temporary.
