[edit] Kalamaki

Article claims this is a food (and appears to attack someone for not liking it); Google indicates that it's a non-notable resort. DS 18:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn; keep as a dab page. Nice work, people. DS 11:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Kalamiki is an island in Greece, not a food. It appears to be notable, so somebody should write an article on it. Andrew pmk | Talk 18:45, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • This is unusual reasoning. Imagine an article saying "Brandham Regis are chips with curry gravy, and Tony Blair is daft for not touching them with a ten-foot pole" and keeping it until someone gets around to write "Brandham Regis is a fictional village in L.P. Hartley's novel The Go-Between" Pilatus 21:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, patent nonsense. Pilatus 21:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewritten version. Pilatus 14:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This article appears to be correct in that it is a dish: however, whether a person likes it is of limited interest. However, What Links Here indicates that it is both a dish apparently served on skewers and towns or villages in Greece. I think that a disambiguation page is the best solution for this article but it would be good if we had a Greek person give their opinion.Capitalistroadster 23:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Besides the name of a beach resort, it seems to be a less-used synonym for souvlaki, i.e. cubes of grilled meat on a skewer. (Note to self: do research before voting) Pilatus 23:50, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
• In that case, we should look at delinking the cuisine dishes that point here as in most cases they also refer to souvlaki. Looking at the Times Atlas, there are at least two Greek towns or villages of that name: a small town in Thessalia and a town in Zakynthos which has become a resort. A disambiguation page referring to the dish and these towns or villages would be appropriate. Capitalistroadster 00:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• I have changed this into a disambiguation page so keep. I have plans to sort out the what links here which are discussed on the article's talk page. Capitalistroadster 19:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as dab. MCB
