Various sources, but reads like one person's WP:ESSAY. No obvious reason why a separate article to French mother sauces is needed, which creates risk of a WP:FORK (culinary pun not intended!). Perhaps merging into French mother sauces is an option. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 22:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the article describes itself as an expansion of the French mother sauces article. If it’s not kept I’d prefer to see it merged there. Mccapra (talk) 23:31, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Obviously. This is already heavily duplicative of French_mother_sauces#History, and new content can be merged. This was created last month by a good faith new editor, and per WP:MERGEINIT, "If the need for a merge is obvious, editors can be bold and simply do it."

Merge per WP:BITE, WP:COMMON, and WP:CIVIL. Bearian (talk) 23:30, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a pointless fork; if there is any content genuinely worth salvaging, that should be merged to the 'mother article' (pun intended). --DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:02, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
