I am making this nomination on behalf of an IP user who made a speedy-deletion nomination with the following rationale:

This page contains incorrect information and is using the names of popular music industry executives to draw attention to it in searches, this is a verifiability issue and is a breach of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. This page is also for a band who has never charted once on any of the billboard charts, The band also isn't around anymore, and hans't sold enough albums to meet the relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia . Because of these reasons the page fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines required for wikipedia. Over all this page in unsuitable.

The article history shows edit-warring over the last year and more intensely over the last few days. See also arguments on the article talk page. Procedural nomination: I express no view. JohnCD (talk) 23:22, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. JohnCD (talk) 23:25, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the arguments against keeping this page are arbitrary and personal in nature. In regards to incorrect information, no attempt was made by other editors to correct any problems. Correct, verifiable information was simply removed over and over again for personal reasons (without explanation on the edit history page), which explains the edit-warring. Claims of "using the names of popular music industry executives to draw attention to it in searches" is not a very solid argument, as there is no reason to draw attention to the page (i.e. there are no advertisements or products/services for sale, so nothing to gain by any party). In addition, Wikipedia has no "albums sales" requirement, so this claim has no merit. However, in terms of Wikipedia's actual notability requirements, I believe this band to be notable enough to be included on Wikipedia for meeting the following criteria, as outlined here.

• They have "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself," appearing in many online stories including some published by prominent sources such as SPIN as well as multiple magazines during their time as a band, including Outburn, Revolver, AMP (for which they donned the cover), Metal Hammer, and Alternative Press, who covered the band many times and nominated their second major-release as one of the "most anticipated" of 2006.
• The band "contains two or more independently notable musicians," featuring members of Polar Bear Club, William Tell, Cute Is What We Aim For, and Hit the Lights; the latter two acts having multiple releases that have appeared on the Billboard charts.
• They have "released two or more albums on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)", this being Trustkill Records, which was active from 1993-2010 and is notable for having several notable artists on their roster (Bullet for My Valentine, Poison the Well, Eighteen Visions, all of which have had multiple releases reach the Billboard charts) as well as wide-reaching international distribution via Universal Music Group.
• They have "performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., inclusion on a notable compilation album", that being the Taste of Christmas compilation and the The Killer in You: A Tribute to Smashing Pumpkins compilation, both of which feature a roster of many notable bands.
• They have "become one of the most prominent of the local scene of a city", that being Rochester, New York, where there have been very few artists able to achieve greater success than Roses Are Red.
• They have "received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of a national concert tour" regarding their two appearances on the Vans Warped Tour (2004, 2005).

This page came up as a "Random article". It was a mess, so I tidied it up, realisng as I went on that there was nothing genuinely notable and it was a suitable case for nomination for deletion. The article was created in June 2006 by MJB12, which is almost certainly the Matt Brown referred to in the article, and probably, by my reading, his age at the time! The article is about an "an independent film making label" (i.e Matt and his mate) who have an impressive selected filmography of 16 films in the space of four years (and that really is selected since the article claims over 50 films to their credit!). This company's high point seems to be not the Venice Film Festival, not Sundance, but the Cherry Creek High School 2006 Film Festival. So, we basically have two 9 - 12yo kids with a camera who knock stuff out an incredible rate with no indication of notability (unless you count 2nd prize in a school contest?)

Missionary dating (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems to be a non-notable neologism. The only source cited is a non-reliable website. The author also quotes two Bible passages which he or she thinks are relevant. Needless to say people did not "date" in the time of Saint Paul. Besides that he was talking about marriage in these verses. There is already an article on Marital conversion, which is a related topic. There is really nothing here to merge there, but maybe a redirect would be a good thing. BigJim707 (talk) 19:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A quick search on Google Books shows a number of sources. Reliability is so-so, but the concept seems (barely) notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:30, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guilty as charged. I did not check books before nominated. However I still think a redirect to Marital conversion is a good idea. That would be a more neutral and universal title. (Note that sincere believers in almost any religion only date in order to find a marriage partner. So missionary dating is a part of the marital conversion process. A religious person dating for "sinful" reasons would not be missionary dating.) -BigJim707 (talk) 19:45, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A section of Approaches to evangelism might be more appropriate. --JFH (talk) 19:49, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would also fit there. I still have a problem with the title "missionary dating." It seems like a neologism which might not be around for very long. While the practice, with some variations of course, has probably been going on for thousands of years among Christians and people of other religions too. BigJim707 (talk) 19:58, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be neutral on that; perhaps even a weak support. It is true that there does not seem to be much depth to the concept discussed here, and Marital conversion seems to be more of a reliable treatment of the subject. Approaches to evangelism perhaps less so, although it should link to this concept (redirected or not). My suggestion is to let this AfD run out, as you did not mention the merger in the nom, then start a merger (ping me for it, or better yet - ping the related WikiProjects I added on the talk pages for all articles here). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:44, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Good idea. BigJim707 (talk) 15:56, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are plenty of sources/references about this concept. Query any peer-reviewed sociology journal, conference minutes, or related books and this term will appear. I also do not support an merger. This article should remain on its own. --Thorwald (talk) 21:01, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. A Google Scholar search, contrary to a statement above, shows no currency whatsoever in peer-reviewed literature. There are rather more sources apparent in a Books search, but many of the references are either passing, or in books that do not meet our standards as reliable sources (the Mitchell book is a POD publication, the Boaz book is self-published). But that's not universally true, and it's probably possible to piece together an article on the topic (although it's very hard to find references outside of a conservative Christian POV, so neutrality will be a concern). Alternatively, a merge might to approaches to evangelism might be preferable (and I would prefer that target over marital conversion, which is the goal, not a synonym). Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you explain more why you prefer merge to approaches to evangelism then to marital conversion? I see this topic as a unscientific name for a cultural context (modern American Christian) limited version of marital conversion (although taking time before marriage, during dating). I don't think there is much work on this from the evangelist perspective, the books I've reviewed seemed to be for the most parts "guides to living as a good Christian", and their discussion of "missionary dating" can be summed up as "does not work, can lead you astray, don't do it." --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Cause/effect distinction, I think. Look at the parent topics. Evangelism has the goal of conversion. Missionary dating has the goal of conversion; thus, it is evangelism. It may be distinct in that the intended conversion is a marital conversion, but that means the topics are related, not synonymous. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:39, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to College Democrats; subject has received significant coverage, however from what I can find most of that significant coverage is in its local area. Per WP:ORG#Local units of larger organizations, the chapter needs to receive significant coverage outside its area to be considered independently notable from its parent organization. Most coverage outside of its local area is passing mention, although there are multiple passing mentions in multiple reliable source (the vast majority which do not have the subject of this article under consideration as the primary subject of the publication); I am of the opinion that those multiple mentions outside of its local area do not add up to be considered significant coverage. Therefore, the content should be summarized down to only what can be verified and is relevant, and merged to the parent organization article, and a redirect left in its place.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In this context, I would like to point out that even though Bengali cuisine has a larger impact, certain city centric developments, for eg. the Bakeries like Nahoums, Flurys; Chinese food at China Town; Armenian, Jew and English cuisine; typical street foods like Kathi roll, cutlets are more or less Kolkata-centric and should not be equated with Bengali cuisine. I have a strong feeling that some content from Bengali cuisine should be moved to Kolkata cuisine, as certain things are more or less Kolkata-centric rather than showing a true picture of Bengali cuisine. This article will act as a space to discuss such things in much more details. I will request you to check this book http://books.google.co.in/books?id=btECzLTe6kMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=foods+of+kolkata&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cEMjUbODCMHqrAeBooC4Bw&ved=0CE8Q6AEwBA#v=onepage&q&f=false Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 09:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep. No reason has been given for deleting this well-written, well-sourced article about a clearly notable subject. This AFD is specious and likely vandalism, in my opinion.Dawn Bard (talk) 13:36, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have been here before. She has now won an industry award that leads to no real world reliable coverage and I personally feel that PORNBIO is not a reliable SNG because it contradicts BLP that requires proper sourcing for biographical articles. I therefore do not feel the AVN = a notable second event and that this remains essentially a BLP1E. Spartaz ^Humbug! 13:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• What? Why doesn't it lead to "no real world reliable coverage"? This has been discussed a second time very thoroughly not only on the WP:BIO talk page, but on this article's talk page as well (including with the admin that deleted it, who now endorses it). You even acknowledge that she won the award (Best Supporting Actress, not a scene-related award), so this reeks of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. (Or are you just calling BLP1E because of her connection to Charlie Sheen?) Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 18:10, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Snow Keep. Outside of what the nominator "personally feels", the subject clearly passes our notability guidelines. She won an AVN Award for best supporting actress, she was nominated to a XBIZ Award for best actress and to several other AVN Awards for best actress, crossover star of the year, best web starlet and best tease performance (plus a bunch of scene awards that, per consensus, do not count towards notability). Even ignoring WP:PORNBIO, that quite recently received widespread consensus on its actual version, how she fails WP:ANYBIO? Wikipedia is not censored, and she is clearly notable in her field. I wonder if the nominator would have rised the same objections if Anderson was an award winning graphic designer, or a clay pigeon shooter. Cavarrone (talk) 19:51, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• OK, so apart from Sheen, where is the real world coverage of her outside the adult press? Spartaz ^Humbug! 07:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• This question, as well as your deletion rationale, just makes it clear you have a personal bias about adult entertainment industry, and personal bias/personal feelings are almost never good arguments in deletion discussions. Adult press coverage is real world coverage, at best you can say it is "niche" coverage; a lot of categories of people, including academics, have no "real world" notability outside of niche publications. Wikipedia is built as a universal encyclopedia, including an adult cinema encyclopedia: in this context Capri Anderson is a notable person, and a stub about this subject, that lists and reports the sources for the well-known and significant awards she received/for which she was nominated, is perfectly appropriate for our encyclopedia (even without mentioning at all Charlie Sheen). Cavarrone (talk) 08:26, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Should I take that as "none" then? Spartaz ^Humbug! 09:57, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Spartaz, what's the deal here? The fact that you proved the subject's notability yourself in your nomination makes it confusing as to why you nominated it to begin with. And is there a guideline that says coverage within the adult press should be ignored? If so, please direct me to it. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 10:06, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• No Spartaz, you should take that as your argument about "real world" was rejected at its roots. We don't judge notability on the basis of the subjective feelings on what someone considers "real world", we judge it on the more objective basis of guidelines and policies.

• SNOW Keep as (accept it or not, nominator) WP:PORNBIO is properly met and sourced in accepted genre sources required by WP:BLP, and the Charlie Sheen incident is a different and itself sourcable issue. The multiple awards of this person's career, and the content of the article itself, show this is not a WP:BLP1E. Understandably, most porn actresses do not get coverage in mainstream media sources... resulting in difficulties in showing background information. Because of the Sheen incident, we at least DO have something more to share with our readers. If the Sheen incident were a singular event in the life of an otherwise unknown person, then BLP1E would apply... but as she has her notability apart from the scandal, BLP1E is not the case.

Single chapter of College Democrats--notability is not inherited from University or national organization (WP:NOTINHERITED). No evidence of stand-alone notability through WP:GNG or WP:ORG. There's nothing to distinguish this chapter from the hundreds of other chapters (Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill). GrapedApe (talk) 13:06, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• However, it follows precedent of other chapters having pages citing notable contributions to political parties. The article articulates the success of the Democrats, and acknowledges their important influence on Massachusetts politics.

• Redirect to College Democrats; subject has received significant coverage, however from what I can find most of that significant coverage is in its local area. Per WP:ORG#Local units of larger organizations, the chapter needs to receive significant coverage outside its area to be considered independently notable from its parent organization. Most coverage outside of its local area is passing mention, although there are multiple passing mentions in multiple reliable source (the vast majority which do not have the subject of this article under consideration as the primary subject of the publication); I am of the opinion that those multiple mentions outside of its local area do not add up to be considered significant coverage.

For some people losing gives notability. This is nothing. See Araksi Çetinyan and its first deletion discussion. She "won" a contest which was annulled. Her title has been "retrieved".

The victory over Noiri would have been more impressive if they'd fought at lightweight (which is 60 or 63 kg, depending on the promotion). Instead, they fought as middleweights (generally a 66 kg limit), which is Sarkisjan's weight class. That's why the victory didn't help Sarkisjan move up in anybody's rankings.Mdtemp (talk) 15:54, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The claim that simply appearing at an "It's Showtime" event makes a fighter notable has not been supported at other AFDs. For example, Moise Rimbon was deleted despite appearing at a K-1 event (and being an MMA fighter). Sarkisjan's victory over Noiri was a big upset, but appears to have been a one time event--he hasn't followed it up with victories in the 66 kg division.204.126.132.231 (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Sorry, but I'm not seeing claims to notability, except for his one upset win (fighting someone from a lower weight division) and that doesn't appear to meet any project notability criteria. There's also a lack of significant independent coverage to show he meets WP:GNG.Mdtemp (talk) 19:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to boil down to whether failing to meet the notability criteria at WP:GNG, WP:MANOTE, and WP:KICK is trumped by being a middleweight who beat the top ranked lightweight. Papaursa (talk) 23:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The actor co-starred in a short-lived television program, Bob Patterson (TV series).

Additional searches for his boxing career provided nothing useful aside from repeats for the NY Daily News article. IMDb also shows he hasn't been active recently in acting.

I also added quotes indicating her importance as a gun control activist (separate from her husband). She has received enough press coverage to meet WP:GNG in my opinion, much related to her book, as well as her campaigning and claims she may have violated gun-control laws about background checks for a rifle she bought. Being short and unsourced are not themselves reasons for deletion, but it's a bit longer now. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

She meets WP:AUTHOR: her book has been the subject of "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews".

'Article is very short' is also not a proper nomination reason as BLP's in general are under different standards than general articles.

• Delete - No need to promote junk. The article is created by a dubious editor for a well known ponzi scheme operator who is a self-proclaimed "real estate expert", when in reality is a search engine optimization expert who creates numerous self-boasting sites designed to capture words 'fraud' and 'scam' when searched in tandem with his name to mask the possibility of discovering factual information concerning the real nature of his underhanded boiler room operations which run along with the likes of Professional Marketing International, Scott McGillivray, and Anthony Morison (whose page was also created by the same editor).

Yes, as I said on the talk page - I'll post some specific links, yet, there's much more than mere gossip, unless of course authentic testimonials from 1000's of ripped off victims are gossip to you. However, in the mean time, please try doing google searches with his name and words 'scam' or 'fraud' and you'll see for yourself that he indeed creates clones of his own sites designed to sway whoever searches for the quality in his "product" from the neutral sites to the ones run by him. How often do you find a respectable business entity that creates such "umbrella-capture" sites for itself in order to protect/hide its own knowingly fraudulent/scamming practices from the public's arising awareness?

• Delete The two books on the NYT best seller list are on the "Hardcover Business Best Sellers" ,not the general non-fiction best sellers, and have their records marked "Some bookstores report receiving bulk orders on these titles." Bulk orders normally mean that the books are being used in promotions of one sort or another. It's not totally damning, as than half the books on the Business Best Seller test have that indication. But is none the less quite sufficient indication that this is not necessarily the automatic pass that we would normally give to a NYT best-seller. If it were, he would be undoubtedly notable. In 2009, I !voted to keep, but I did not sufficiently analyze the best seller data, and at that time not just I but the general feeling here was not anywhere near as strict about promotional articles.

Great! You again provided single and individual opinion about him. There are the exact same references in the article that are showing that he is a well known and successful man, that his books are mentioned in New York Times, that he appeared in my TV shows, etc. You all obviously have something personal against him.

I do not have anything against him. What I see is an advertisement, not an encyclopaedic article. I came across this article whilst watching recent changes, and saw it vandalised. I looked through the article history in an attempt to find a clean version, but could only find adverts or vandalism. Wikipedia is not here to hero worship people like Dean.

Wikipedia is meant to provide info on all types of notable subjects. If he's a scam or takes advantage of people, just add that with a legitimate source citing it and proving it.

I put "their" in quotes as it is more than apparent that it is no more than 1 or 2 individuals from Graziosi/PMI team who are posting here virtually identical 'keep' comments (all statistically improbable in frequency and full of promotional praise) while using internet masks and/or proxies which allow "them" to sign with numerically unrelated IP's. 99.135.168.169 (talk) 00:41, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article was recreated after the deletion discussion for DJ Abrantee, which was deleted and salted (Abrantee Boateng was also deleted under G4 as a recreation of DJ Abrantee). The user recreated the article again, and its prose is substantially identical to DJ Abrantee, but I wasn't comfortable G4ing it because they did add some references (and lack of those was the problem brought up in the last AFD). Most refs are to random websites for promotion of musicians, or youtube, or other sites with no claim to reliability that I can see. But one goes to the guardian.co.uk and another goes to the London Evening Standard which seems legit. I offered to userfy this for the author and help them work on it but no response in a week and a half. I did a Google search to see if I could turn up any reliable sources to add but no luck there. I think he's got the potential to become notable after a little more coverage but there's not enough written about him yet to have a verifiable article, so delete. delldot ∇. 15:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Memory debugger. MemCheck is the name for a few different programs that perform memory debugging functions to test software programs. There are already two MemCheck entries and a Valgrind entry in the list of debugging programs at Memory debugger, so the article is a natural target. I recommend redirect instead of deletion because I think MemCheck could be a popular search term for this kind of program.

This subject fails both WP:BASIC (no substantial coverage by independent reliable sources actually about the subject except his own interviews) and WP:CREATIVE, as his works appear only in private collections, none of which are themselves notable, and none of which are permanent or approach any other factor of the alternative criterion. Not surprisingly, this article is a family project by someone who, as best I can tell, is a family member of the subject. The most reliable coverage, that of the LA Times, is about cartoonists, but this subject's place in it is scant, and he is not the actual topic of discussion (he talks about being a cartoonist, just like the several others in the story — cartoons are the actual topic). The WP:LOTSOFSOURCES in previous versions contained trivial mention, and some were even associated with the subject. JFHJr (㊟) 23:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I've checked Arabic sources; my Arabic reading (that is fuṣḥa 'l-3aṣr) isn't that of a native, but I can indeed read, and generally better sourcing didn't jump out at me. FWIW, the Arabic Wikipedia article was written by the same family member as this one, and isn't sourced to anything better: insubstantial coverage in reliable sources (example, example) and deeper coverage in completely unreliable sources such as self-publications and things the subject has been involved in (example, example). The best coverage I could find was this, which is a perfect example of mid-grade human interest journalism (Firas Hajjaj isn't well-known in this field) that should never underpin notability alone. Otherwise, things that Mandalawi wrote (example) do not indicate their own importance and must be discounted without third party coverage. Finally, I'm not sure why Farsi would be relevant, and I didn't get any noticeable Farsi results. Cheers. JFHJr (㊟) 21:31, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree wtih Peterkingiron that large industry associations ought to be notable, but in this case, the lack of coverage would indicate that notability is not met, and indeed, verifiability is an issue as I found no third party sources that confirm any information in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:48, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Smoked salmon cheesecake (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable: no evidence this is a notable recipe, being mentioned briefly on a television program. Also doubtful whether it describes one thing or a class ("cheesecake made with Salmon") – a Google search, especially an image search, turns up images almost all very unlike the included one. Probably wikibooks:Cookbook is a better place for it.

De-prodded with the reason "I disagree, the program cited shows the dish is locally well known."; but being locally well known is not enough for notability. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 21:48, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The image search throws up thousands of images, which by itself indicates some notability. Most of these images seem consistent with the article to me. Just because some are big cheesecakes and some are small doesn't indicate a contradiction. Did you search on the term "smoked salmon cheesecake" in quotes, or were you searching without quotes, on the individual terms smoked, salmon, and cheesecake? --Epipelagic (talk) 21:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This dish is locally well known in Scotland, and apparently also Canada. Even seems to be available in the US. There was much more than a brief mention on the TV program, it was a major segment of the cited episode and was covered in depth. I note that the nominator is still pointing to the inappropriate image, but has cut from the quote of my reason for challenging the prod that I agree the it is a bad image and does not represent the dish. This might be grounds for removing the image, but it is not grounds for deleting the article. SpinningSpark 22:01, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Enough sources are available about this topic to support an article. A cursory search has revealed sources that are beyond recipe listings. Some are paywalled, so the depth of coverage in those is difficult to ascertain: [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]. Meets WP:N. Northamerica1000^(talk) 03:28, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• • That just looks like a list of search results. The ones I looked at are recipes. I don't see any that provide significant coverage of the topic beyond that. WP doesn't have a policy on recipes but then it doesn't need one: the content of recipes can't be copyrighted so they are widely reproduced with minor variations in many publications, especially now in web encyclopaedias. For a recipe/food to be notable it needs significant in-depth coverage other than in recipes. If it's e.g. a significant regional dish it should be easy to establish this from sources. But the local site in the references doesn't mention it at all.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 18:49, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • The Garden of Skye Smokehouse website does talk about the dish on this page. SpinningSpark 19:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• delete - recipes do not establish notability. The provided sources are not about the item but just show it exists. Notability has not been established. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 02:27, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – clearly notable. Discussed, for example, in 85 books according to Google Books, including the iconic Betty Crocker Cookbook and other publications such as 1001 Recipes: Ultimate Cookery Book, Prizewinning Recipes: 200 of the Best Dishes, Red, White & Blue Ribbon: Winning Recipes and The Best of New Wave Cooking.
• Delete - Wikipedia is not a recipe book. The classic opening line is worthy of repetition: "Smoked salmon cheesecake is a savoury cheesecake containing smoked salmon." Well, that explains everything, does it not? Not an encyclopedic topic. Carrite (talk) 04:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to wikibooks:Cookbook, per JohnBlackburne. While many recipes and images exist, there don't seem to be other sources about the dish to demonstrate notability; the TV-show source discusses the program itself, not the article's subject. Miniapolis 21:16, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Foods and dishes (recipes) can be encyclopedic. But there needs to be something other than appearance in a number of recipe books or mention in a television programme. Cultural or historic importance would be examples, whilst the fact that some people liked the taste generally not. I have not seen anything here to persuade me that this passes the test. --AJHingston (talk) 18:50, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Several editors have given "Wikipedia is not a cookbook/recipe book" as the deletion rationale. Actually, there is no recipe given in the article for that very reason. There seems to be some knee-jerk reaction against food articles going on here. And the idea that a recipe book cannot be a reliable source for a food article is quite baffling - that is just the place one would expect to find reliable information about a food dish. As for notability, it has been said that appearance in recipe books does not establish notability. If only in one or two isolated books maybe, but if it is found in numerous books it does show just that: that is how we define notability. SpinningSpark 07:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
