Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Food and drink
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Food and drink. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Food and drink|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Food and drink. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Article that has been effectively unsourced from its creation in 2007. Not finding anything on a Google search (string: ["prestige hong kong" -prestigeonline.com]) or anything passable as a source in history (SOPA is 404-compliant, https://web.archive.org/web/20160304052630/http://www.sinarmasprintawards.com/english/all.asp seems thoroughly broken). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:25, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. It's unfortunate that the article has been completely unsourced for so long, and a cursory search of any independent secondary coverage turns up blank. Even then, I would support a case of TNT-ing and starting over given that it's almost exclusively original research. GuardianH 13:59, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

The article notes: "Wearing three-inch stilettos and a giant Chanel ring on one hand, Anne Lim-Chaplain strides purposefully to a shelf in her office. The managing director of the lifestyle magazine Prestige Hong Kong picks up a prototype of her third-anniversary issue, due on newsstands in September, and tosses the 800-page volume on her desk, where it lands with a thud. Even compared with 2007's record profits, advertising for the first quarter of the year is up 41 percent. ... Peter Comparelli, editor of Prestige Hong Kong, says that he aims to uphold the standards of fairness, quality and good design, but believes readers understand who butters his bread. ... The approach is paying off handsomely: this month Comparelli's publication, which has a circulation of 30,000, offers 328 pages of beautiful frocks, as well as articles on recent soirées, the new Mercedes sedan and fine wines."

The article notes: "Prestige magazine is set to launch in Hong Kong in a joint venture between the publishers CR Media and 3cm Media. The magazine, which blends luxury lifestyle content and fashion with interests and social issues, is being launched as a direct competitor to Tatler. The editor has been named as George Paddy, the former editor of Cathay Pacific's Discovery magazine, while Brian Chow will be the publisher."

Not enough significant coverage beyond a few contemporary articles released at the time of the meme's creation thus fails WP:GNG. HookFTW (talk) 09:24, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep It actually does fulfil WP:GNG because it does have sources from years after its creation. (Indeed, I even found one published yesterday just now about it), thus confirms it does have WP:SUSTAINED coverage to meet GNG. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 09:50, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: Agreed that unlike many memes, this one has stood the test of time in terms of ongoing coverage, which I think the article demonstrates. One could argue the title should be "Burger King foot lettuce internet meme."
- Keep. Just what Wikipedia is for. Hyperbolick (talk) 21:35, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep Perhaps I'm a bit biased, but a look at the sources, even at the time of AFD, shows two sig cov reliable sources ([1][2]) from long after the incident, and, along with the Stuff article (reliable per WP:NEWSORG) and a blurb in a Mashed article should be more than enough to pass WP:GNG.

- Leaning toward Delete (or Merge with Burger King, as the event is notable as something that damaged the brand's reputation.) I would argue that this subject does not yet meet WP:SUSTAINED. There was a ton of coverage immediately after the event, but later sources are not enough to indicate lasting coverage. Here's a source assessment of sources included in the article or mentioned in this discussion, but I am excluding the sources from 2012:

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}. |
- The last thing you'd want in your Wikipedia references is a churnalism site, but it turns out, that might be what The Takeout is. That means there is not enough SIGCOV to establish SUSTAINED. However, one could argue that the article in Stuff is SIGCOV, which would be enough to establish notability. If not, we should wait for another source to come out before this is considered notable. (In addition to these sources, I also found [7] this RS, but it's only a few sentences so not SIGCOV.) — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 19:42, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- I wouldn't be so quick to throw out the The Takeout as unreliable. Reliable sources (The Takeout was started by WP:AVCLUB writers, so I'm willing to say it was) do not instantly become unreliable when bought by situational or unreliable companies (see WP:POLYGON for an example, which suggests case-by-case evaluation). The writer does seem to have some experience in reliable sources (a local newspaper and Nintendo Life), and nothing in the article particularly screams churnalism at me.
- I would argue that Alex's obituary in Stuff does not fall under WP:ROUTINE because Alex is not from New Zealand, nor was he a particularly prolific figure beforehand. An obituary for someone halfway across the globe would be pretty unusual territory, so I would say that this does pass SIGCOV. I'd also argue that the ACM source does not fall under WP:NOTNEWS, as it was published several months after the fact. I'd also say it's SIGCOV; while not the main topic, it does hit every major fact around the initial incident.
- As one final note, WP:GEOSCOPE suggests "Coverage of an event nationally or internationally may make notability more likely, but such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article." In this case, we have [8][9][10][11][12], which may contribute to notability, even if they don't clear notability standards completely. Based5290 :3 (talk) 04:55, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per the sources from jolielover. The assessment does not give this much justice, since yes the sources aren't the best, but there is so much continued coverage that goes beyond it being a meme. Conyo14 (talk) 21:21, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

The entire article is filled with either unimportant information or promotional information. There seems to be no reason for him to have his own page. The biggest still existent source I could find is this small piece in forbes about his wine not even about him. Every article is about his wine and his credentials are only brought up to promote the wines.

- Delete - Only two non-trivial, independent pieces could be located. The only English-language hit is a single paragraph in a Guardian travel puff piece. Such routine/trivial mentions do not constitute the “significant coverage” required.Dahawk04 Talk 💬 23:22, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - Searching just one paper, La Stampa, on Google via "site:lastampa.it "gianduiotto"" finds plenty of coverage. More can be found in my sandbox, where I'm currently researching gianduja (chocolate). It may be good to merge the two pages, but hopefully such a discussion can be delayed until I finish digging up all relevant sources. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 02:47, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- All cited material is routine or tangential:
- Oxford Companion to Sugar & Sweets – ~150 words inside the broader gianduja entry.
- Kopp, Lebovitz, Roden – one-paragraph mentions in general chocolate guides.
- Padovani Mondo Nutella – incidental, not independent of industry.
- La Stampa hits – festival blurbs & shop promos; routine local news.
- None amount to the “significant coverage in reliable, independent sources” demanded by WP:GNG. Suitable as citations within Gianduja (chocolate), but not enough for a standalone page. Dahawk04 Talk 💬 13:32, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Putting aside discussions of the other sources, three La Stampa hits that contribute to GNG are [15][16][17]. I picked these off the first page of Google, none are close to "festival blurbs & shop promos; routine local news", they are all in depth discussions of industry and history, with significant discussion that is about gianduiotto rather than gianduja generally. I'll note per [18] that "the gianduiotto praline was the first chocolate ever to be individually wrapped."
- Dahawk04, if you would like, when I've finished the research and added sources, would you like me to notify you and you can more fully evaluate whether coverage is insufficient? There is WP:NORUSH for merging. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 13:55, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- All cited material is routine or tangential:
- Keep These are very famous chocolates in Italy, originating from Turin, the Italian wiki article has many more sources, on top of that the CNN travel article that was recently added to the page and also this French article [1] show that they have received in depth coverage outside of Turin local news.

- Keep. Hello everybody, I'm an Italian from Piedmont. I can confirm that gianduiotti are very famous nationwide. People from Turin and in general from hazelnut producing provinces in the south of the region are proud of it, but is not just a local niche product, everybody knows them, and you can find a lot of sources just searching on the internet. I think is enough to mantain an article separate from gianduja. If this my help to clarify the notability of those chocolate, which have e precise shape and size, they are listed as PAT (see reference) by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forests, while gianduja is not. --Phyrexian ɸ 18:57, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Draftify or delete?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 12:51, 19 July 2025 (UTC) - A quick google turned up a lot of pages with mentions of this cake. I don't work on food article so I can't judge what can be used to prove notability, but seems like it should be possible to find something if someone is willing to look. Propose to Draftify as it seems that a dedicated editor would be able to improve the article to the point where it would meet the standards for inclusion. Giuliotf (talk) 21:37, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

No apparent significant coverage, just passing mentions. This and multiple variations (fly cakes, fly pies, fly cemetery) appear to be no more than a general nickname for any pastry that contains currants or raisins, almost none of which have articles.

- Redirect - to Gur cake, which is essentially the Irish name for the same confection as a fruit slice. Although Eccles cake is similar, and is often referred to as "dead fly cake", searching on this title mostly finds this as a term used for the Scottish confection that is substantially the same as the Irish one, and I am not sure if Eccles cake is ever referred to by this name (equally, Garibaldi and fruit shortcake biscuits are dead fly biscuits, but not this). The Gur cake page already mentions the name. There is a fruit slice DAB already, so Necrothesp's suggestion cannot be enacted, and, in any case, we have no sources here, and we have a sourced page about the same confection, so this is a content fork driven by the informal name. Pinging Orange sticker to see if they agree. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:27, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: There are too many suggested target article redirects.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:19, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't see how one redirect target could be chosen, therefore this needs to be a disambiguation page with all the suggestions listed. Geschichte (talk) 15:52, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- Gur cake, this and fruit slice are all names for the same thing. The current disambiguation at Fruit slice lists this, Gur cake and Fruit snack. But Fruit snack makes no mention of this name, nor of fruit slice. Eccles cake similarly doesn't mention it. Garibaldi biscuits did, but the name is not in the cited source, which calls them dead fly biscuits or squashed fly biscuits. I have fixed that page now. So it seems to me that the solution is really that the Fruit Slice is the primary topic for a single confection that is called a Fruit Slice and Gur Cake (and Cacen Pwdin in Wales and Flies graveyard too). Rather than a disambiguation, a merge makes much more sense. Merge Gur cake and Flies graveyard into Fruit slice, overwriting the unnecessary disambiguation. Eccles cake and Garibaldi biscuits should be see alsos. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:09, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

I came across this article after seeing Draft:HealthyBaby at AfC. I don't see anything here except primary sources, passing mentions, and routine coverage. In my WP:BEFORE I was unable to find any independent, secondary coverage upon which to build an article. The article history suggests that this was created for promotional purposes, and its primary author is blocked for "inappropriate emails". MediaKyle (talk) 20:05, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
