• Strong keep Cousances is the progeniter of Le Creuset and of enameled cast iron cookware. It is hundreds of years old. This is one of the most unencyclopedic sniping trips I have had the dismay of witnessing on Wikipedia. I will add the sources this weekend, i.e. by the end of Sunday, November 6, 2022.

  • Wait until the Fowler finds the sources

  OK, I'm done for now. I haven't removed the uncited sections after the lead, but they should probably be removed. But the lead is now impeccably cited, in my view. Note the last reference for the fireback is peer-reviewed, even though it doesn't have a hard copy publisher. The Durham University site in the book's url states that.

  I've left generous quotes, especially of books such as Elizabeth David's Cooking with Le Creuset and Cousances, which is hard to find anywhere. Perhaps they could be used for expanding the article a little or correcting my paraphrasing. But please don't remove them. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 23:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Like Fowler&fowler I strongly suspect this subject is indeed notable, as it has been collectible for decades. Sources likely exist but may not be readily available online. Valereee (talk) 22:35, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
