Delete: I think it's factually incorrect, as well, but, whether it's accurate or not, it's a single food product that isn't really a cornerstone of cuisine or international. Geogre 15:21, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I think it should be kept but improved. (We use this frequently at home, with the accompanying comment, "Shall we have Chicken Tonight tonight?") Deb 15:40, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I feel like Chicken Tonight, like Chicken tonight, like Chicken tonight, (accompanied by flapping of arms) — except I'm vegetarian; minorly notable I suppose, atleast in Britain. Dunc_Harris|☺ 17:04, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
This American has heard of this product, god knows where. Deserves an article, cleanup. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 17:14, 2004 Jul 24 (UTC)
Keep. I guess if we have vegemite and Big Mac articles, there's no philosophical objection to this one. Someday we'll need a policy on food items and brandnames, we obviously don't want articles on every package on any supermarket shelf anywhere. Some straightforward wikifying and copyediting would make it a good stub, so it's a good cleanup candidate IMO, with a note that it's already survived VfD assuming it does and that this work hasn't already happened when it does.

Hideously well-known and popular in Australia. Keep, could probably do with cleanup - David Gerard 19:50, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I've heard about Chicken Tonight in Finland even though they don't sell it here. bbx 13:43, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I remember this ad campaign. True, I don't think they've had Chicken Tonight in the United States since 1993, but it did make a splash. IIRC, it was even parodied on The Simpsons. Keep. Mike H 16:40, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I have friends who still do the stupid dance *sigh*. -- DropDeadGorgias (talk) 15:17, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)
There used to be a Southern California restaurant chain called "Chicken Delight" that delivered chicken dinners to your door. Gawd, I remember the jingle from age 8 as something like "No cooking tonight...call Chicken Delight!" This obviously isn't the same, but it sure seems notable enough to keep. - Lucky 6.9 21:38, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- It was national, and it was "Don't cook tonight / Call Chicken Delight" -- Jmabel 00:14, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Notable product because of notably inane commercial that has permanently nested in our pop culture subconscious. Postdlf 04:15, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep. It's very well known in Australia. And what about Dickhead Tonight? :) -- Chuq 07:42, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:2d 1.jpg

Image:2d 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Where, if anywhere, is Chicken Tonight still sold?

After listening to a British Twitch streamer make a joke about the old adverts for the product, I mentioned that I remembered it too (from the US), and then I noted that according to Wikipedia, it was still sold in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and the Netherlands; then he said that he hasn't seen it in the shops, and I decided to look into the history of that poorly sourced (and awkwardly phrased, according to MOS:RELTIME) claim. It appears to have been most recently added around February 2011, based on the actions of a bot that were later reverted, but variations of it were around since 30 July 2004 and were rarely properly sourced. Maybe someone from those areas might be able to say whether the product is still being sold there, and if not, some estimate for when sales ended; at worst, the current sources may be sufficient to back up a claim that as of 2011 or so, the products were still being sold there. Julyo (talk) 10:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Still appear to exist, as they have a UK website ^[1], but like you, I haven't seen it in shops for years. Culloty82 (talk) 16:47, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tesco in the UK still sell three varieties of it. Here's one: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/274219622
