I have found no evidence that this type of pasta is exists, an unreferenced tag was placed almost a decade ago on this page, however since then no one has been able to find a source that verifies this pasta type exists. A notability tag was placed around two years ago and yet no one has been able to find information about this topic. Links to Wikibooks and Wikimedia turn up nothing; no information can be found of this presumably non-existent pasta. Something important to note is that this page was created by User:Starzynka, who was blocked indefinitely. One look on this users talk page reveals he has had approximately 450 of his created pages deleted or speedy deleted, primarily due to them being poorly written stubs which violated WP:V and WP:N. I believe Pillus is just another one of these pages, and should've been deleted a long time ago. Despite this, there may be a source somewhere, however this page would most likely still violate WP:N.

Did you look in Encyclopedia of Pasta or numerous other books? Keep. SpinningSpark 14:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yummy
Weak Delete Just because the form of pasta exists, doesn't necessarily make it article-worthy. If there's no coverage or mention of the pasta in reliable sources - if all we can produce about it are mere sentences - it probably doesn't warrant an article. Amenable to having my mind changed if more mentions of it could be found. Flip^and Flopped ツ 15:29, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With the new sources added, looks better. Weak keep Flip^and Flopped ツ 19:37, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Flipandflopped: I've added four sources to the article and eight encyclopaedic facts. Besides the sources I've added, this book, La cucina sarda di mare, describes twelve different pillus recipes. It is clearly an important part of Sardinian cuisine. SpinningSpark 20:18, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
