Community forums

A community forum has been established to help manage common goals of the associated Food and Drink WikiProjects. A general forum can be found here.

Goal specific forums
  • Guidelines forum - This forum has been set up for the various Food and Drink projects to develop a set of Manual of Style guidelines for use in articles under the auspices of all the related Food and Drink WikiProjects and task forces. This would be similar to the MoS guidelines for biographies or legal articles.
  • Restaurant notability guidelines discussion - This guideline is intended to extend WP:CORP, in no way to replace its purpose, in regard to restaurants. It is also not intended to replace, supplant, or otherwise alter the standard notability requirements.

The reason this extension of the notability requirements is necessary is that there is a constant inflow of pages for restaurants that do not have, or have a very tenuous, notability.

The previous article was deleted for being blatant advertising, but isn't this a generic subject, not a specific brand? If not, perhaps a redirect could be created to the more generic name.

Pumpkin muffins

Pumpkin muffins (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Persian nectar

Persian nectar (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Product with no assertion of notability or encyclopedic worth/content. Tznkai (talk) 15:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak delete It's a real product, and that's about all one can say. Information online is so scarce that even after a brief search I'm no wiser regarding whether this is a type of tea or a specific brand name. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete A brand of tea? ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - notability neither asserted nor documented. --Latebird (talk) 00:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Food and drink-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 04:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Lo Salt

Lo Salt (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Notability is in question, so let's put it under scrutiny: it is a brand of salt. That's all it is. Not notable. Boshinoi (talk) 19:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not any different from salt substitutes, except perhaps the fact it's not entirely substitute. (Not to mention the fact that our body is susceptible to changes in our potassium levels much more than a change in sodium level)... - Mgm|(talk) 23:06, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable product, discussed in many places: [1][2][3] are just a few examples found in seconds of looking on Google. JulesH (talk) 00:00, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Spammy. No good references in article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:42, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Note that this AFD was started by a banned user (Jarlaxle/Grawp or an imitator). NawlinWiki (talk) 12:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment Even so, regardless of the banned user's intentions, now that I've looked at the article, and have done some research, I have issues with notability based on the content. Geoff (talk) 01:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non notable. A Google search turns up numerous bagel-chips recipes, numerous generic "lo salt" references and ad pages for the product. Geoff (talk) 01:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • The poor sources you cite are irrelevant. What matters are the good sources such as those cited by Jules H above. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Close and delist AfD brought by banned user. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 01:07, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • I would have done that instead of relisting if there weren't 3 good faith "delete" arguments. When this is closed, the reviewing admin will simply ignore the nomination statement which is also "just a !vote" (sic). --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, banned nominator notwithstanding this just doesn't seem to have enough reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 03:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep/merge There are plenty more sources out there but the article, being slight, might be best merged to Salt substitute.
