Ecuadorian cuisine

Declined prod; WP:NOT a cookbook. KurtRaschke (talk) 23:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Subject matter is clearly notable, as is the cuisine for any country. The article needs work, but that is what tags are for. I cut out the recipes already. In the future, please start an AFD by placing the AFD tag on the actual article, NOT here on this page. Otherwise, the AFD process itself would be void, as not giving proper notification of the process. I fixed it. PHARMBOY ( moo ) ( plop ) 00:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Cuisine is a valid cultural topic. The recipe-cruft part of the article was quickly taken out. If the rest cannot stand alone as an article, it may have a place in Culture of Ecuador#Cuisine subject to verification. • Gene93k (talk) 00:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To Gene, assuming that would mean a redirect instead of delete, I can see that if it can't be patched up. Sorry about getting a little testy Kurt, I have seen several missing AFD1s lately. And yes, TW is borked. I double check everything it does. PHARMBOY ( moo ) ( plop ) 00:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Culture of Ecuador#Cuisine. It's too short to stand on its own. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep potential for growth. There are multiple cookbooks about it for use as sources [1] Each country's cuisine is distinctive.DGG (talk) 17:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The nominator's reason is invalid as this article contained (and now contains only) plenty of non-cookbook information about this obviously notable subject. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keepp Valid topic, sources exist. Edward321 (talk) 01:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not a cookbook, but the article isn't recipes. The cuisine of a country is important anthropologically and culturally. It is certainly a topic for a not paper encyclopedia. The article needs to be expanded and sourced, not deleted. Dloh cierekim 03:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
