Better merged with a page covering a pickle in Indian cuisine, too short to warrant its own article. Wer900 ^talk_{essay on the definition of consensus} 04:39, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 April 3. Snotbot t • c » 04:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because, while it may be "notable" as defined on WP, there is so little to say about this topic. It can be one sentence in another article, or even an item within a sentence, such as: "Pickled vegetables, including tomatoes, etc..., are popular in Indian cuisine."

Keep My first instinct would be to merge and redirect to South Asian pickle, but if you look at the available sources you'll see that pickled tomatoes are a feature of American cuisine as well as India and other Asian countries. Since it's a multi-regional thing and not just an Indian one, the article should probably be expanded into a proper stub. Clearly the sources exist, the article just needs time for someone to dig through them and pick out the good stuff. (Which I'm willing to do.) Steven Walling • talk 08:17, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to Pickled tomato or Pickled tomatoes (following the lead of Pickled onion, Pickled egg, Pickled pepper and Pickled walnuts), expanding the article to include, well, pickled tomatoes in general, as the topic appears to be clearly notable - while there's the usual caveats for gHits, a gBooks search for "pickled tomatoes" turns up 3,910 hits. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 09:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think Indian pickles are different from American ones, and I think its quite wrong to say that a "Tomato Pickle" is same as "Pickled tomatoes" because Indian pickles often have elaborate recipes and sometimes are delicacies on their own. I really don't know a lot about American pickles, so if my reasoning is wrong somewhere, feel free to disregard it! Thanks, Lynch 7 13:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge Over the past couple of weeks, this user has made pages for Sweet sour lemon pickle, Carrot Pickle, Red chilli pickle, Green chilli pickle, Garlic pickle, Ginger pickle, Amla pickle, Mixed pickle, Murabba (which is a type of, you guessed it, pickle) and Mango pickle. I haven't gone through all the other pages he's created, but I'm betting many of them are also on the topic of phallic-shaped, preserved fruit. Many of these pages have no references, and/or amount to little more than a recipe page for creating a type of pickle. At the very least, we need to merge these all onto a single page and clean them up.JoelWhy (talk) 12:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Notable enough to have an article of its own, but I really don't know what the article should consist of. I mean, we really can't have recipes or anything of that sort; and unless someone can dig up sources on the history of tomato pickles, the articles will remain stubs. We could consider merging into something like "List of Indian pickles" or something like that. Lynch 7 13:45, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, at the least we should merge all of these pages. We have a Wiki page on Pizza. However, we don't have a Wiki page on Pepperoni Pizza, Cheese Lovers Pizza, or Anchovie Pizza. We do have a page for Chicago-Styled Pizza, but Deep-dish pizza, Stuffed pizza, and Pan pizza all redirect to the Chicago styled pizza page. As the old saying goes, if it's good enough for pizza, it's good enough for pickles.JoelWhy (talk) 18:54, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Oh! We are in pickle! No way i see this article will grow unless we decide to make it a cook-book. Infact letting it stand as a single page will just invite editors to write how their mom makes it. Sanjeev Kapoor 1 and Tarla Dalal 2 both have n-types of pickles. The searches also have some non-pickle recepies. Bad sorting. I guess its better to merge all these with South Asian pickle. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 19:18, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I would also be okay with merging to that article. Steven Walling • talk 00:22, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yea, I'm fine with merging it (along with the score of other pickle-themed articles) in to a single page about Indian pickles.JoelWhy (talk) 14:40, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Any decision about this article should be applied to several similar articles added by the same author—all very short and better merged somewhere --Greenmaven (talk) 03:06, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The creator started a new List of Indian pickles and asked for deletion of all his previous 'pickle page' creations (see this discussion for further clarification). I've redirected the names to the relevant sections in the list, this was the last one I found. I realize that some of the titles might be ambiguous, but redirect to List_of_Indian_pickles#Tomato_pickle seems to be the best solution at the moment. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:57, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've not yet learned how to close an AFD; I should learn how, but want to do so when I have time to clean up any mess I might create. I hope another admin will come along and close this AfD as moot.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 18:14, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
