[edit] Banoffee Pie

Delete. Whilst a very tasty dessert, this well-meant article is a semi-recipe that is unlikely to expand beyond that. -Splash 20:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

  • keep. There are numerous other pages similar that is why I made it. I will add more information in to make it more "useful" to you. Also would it help if a recipe was added instead of links to recipes'? Cokehabit 20:25, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • keep. It is a very well known and popular desert and I'm sure much more can and will be added to the article. Evil Eye 20:29, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • keep. And it's great when you have teh munchies. But seriously, I think it should be kept, it does have value. beu 23:18, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
    • There is no such user. Vote actually by anon IP 80.235.134.39. -Splash 22:36, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • keep. I see absolutely no reason it can't expand and more can't be added - the article has no problems at all being well-written. Plasmaroo 22:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • keep. This well written article should be kept. tomaw 22:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • delete. Tastes fantastic, but the potential for abuse is still very high. Certainly don't want another definition which is best left in the likes of Urban Dictionary ;-) Perhaps best sent to the trash can for deletion methinks. AlexHowells 22:25, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
    • User's first edit. All 3 made so far to this VfD. -Splash 22:36, 31 July 2005 (UTC).
  • Keep and move to Banoffee pie. While I'm loath to agree with the sock puppets, I don't see the rationale behind the nomination. Ideally a recipe should be written at wikibooks and linked to from this article. Flowerparty talk 23:00, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
    • My rationale is that to be an encyclopedia article, it should be about the history and cultural significance of banoffee pie, not just a half-hearted recipe for it. WP is not a cookbook, and I find that restaurant's claim to have invented thing a little hard to take and in any case unverifiable. I cannot fathom why this needs sockpuppets, either.-Splash 23:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
      • Well that seems fair; if the pub did invent the thing then it's news to me. But it's still a well-known dessert and the claim can be rephrased or simply edited out if it's proven to be false. I can't agree that it's unlikely to be expanded; it's not even got a picture yet. Flowerparty talk 23:35, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and move as per above (and darn those socks) --Doc (?) 23:41, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep/Move as above; appears to be a real pie, even if claim of inventorship is not verifiable. (Now I'm all hungry!) --Alan Au 00:08, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep/move as per above and mark as needing expansion. Yum. -- The Anome 07:57, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
