I came across this page yesterday refbombed with recipe blogs. I looked for better sources to replace them and could only find two sources with sigcov: Metroscene mag and Field Guide to Cookies. I've since looked closer at Metroscene Mag and see they identify as a blog, leaving only one source contributing to GNG.
ATDs: (1) Redirect to Filipino cuisine where they are mentioned. An expansion would give undue weight, they do not appear particularly important to Filipino cuisine. (2) Merge to Filipino-American cuisine: I disapprove of this. The article is currently scoped to Filipino food in America (i.e. food of Filipino Americans) and would be out of scope. (3) Redirect to list of cookies: Oppose a merge as the criteria for inclusion is implicitly "meets GNG". Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 05:21, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep this one, but it's only just on that side of the minimum threshold. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 13:13, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. MaPhilIndo (talk) 23:34, 28 May 2025 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: MaPhilIndo (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. [reply]
No comment on the subject's notability, but for the record, "particularly important to Filipino cuisine" is inaccurate as chocolate crinkles are not only delicious but also pretty popular in the Philippines. They're a staple over here. Maybe not "particularly important" like leche flan and ube halaya are, but not so obscure that at least a brief mention wouldn't be practical.

- Thanks Narutolovehinata5 for the correction. There is a brief mention already, I made the comment in the context of whether it was important enough to merit further expansion. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 02:02, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'd also like to correct you regarding Metroscene. They don't "identify as a blog." Their "About us" page quite clearly states that they are an "independent digital magazine." Metroscene regularly has exclusive photoshoots and interviews with Filipino celebrities.

This article is a failed proposal due to lack of consensus regarding its implementation, but it still points out something useful: "A blog is simply a website that commonly organizes its contents into 'updates' that are posted in a given order, with the newest content frequently 'first', at the top of given page. Each 'update' is often a separate web page on the website. Many blogs allow readers of the online updates to post comments. A blog is no different from any other website, except in its structure, layout, and formatting." Metroscene is hosted by a blog site, but it's a magazine. So that's a solid source for SIGCOV, IMO.
