This has been an article for 15 years and there is only one reference and a few edits. It should be deleted. Ghinga7 (talk) 02:51, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Way premature. You made no comment on the article and jumped straight to deletion. Tagging for needing citations would be the first move. MartinezMD (talk) 02:57, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I considered doing that, @User:MartinezMD, but I ultimately decided that there was no way it could be improved. It was my understanding that you did not need to say on the talk page that the article failed general notability guidelines before you nominated it. Therefore, I do not believe this is premature and am keeping it up for discussion.

Did you even try to search for sources? I found 5 in the past few minutes. MartinezMD (talk) 03:37, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The deletion rationale is incorrect. "Goat curry" was created as a redirect to "Curry" in 2005. An editor turned the redirect into an article less than a day ago, so it has not "been an article for 15 years". There are two references currently on the page that look legitimate to me: an NPR report and a book called Farming Meat Goats. I also see coverage in Food Anxiety in Globalising Vietnam, plus lots of recipe and travel books. I don't understand the rationale for delete. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added that one a little bit ago, as well as an additional 4 more. MartinezMD (talk) 03:37, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About the redirect: Oops. Guess I missed that. It should probably have an {{Under construction}} tag, though. It looks better, but still has work to do. I am going to withdraw this for now, though. Ghinga7 (talk) 04:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
