[edit] Chips UK

Chips UK (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is a bizarrely titled mini POV fork of French fried potatoes. Everything is copied from there, and then slightly rewritten to put all the emphasis on Chips instead of French fries, going as far as removing all the history except for the British part. Many other sections are remomved, no info is added, so there is nothing to merge, the name is not a likely search term, and the page seems to have no purpose but to replace "French Fries" with Chips (see e.g. the related changes to the disambiguation page Chips by an IP address [1]. I see no reason at all why we would have this page... Fram 20:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, no Redirect per nom. Danny Lilithborne 21:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as being an obvious POV fork. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 21:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom "Chips are not French Fries but French Fries are Chips". What on Earth does that mean??--Anthony.bradbury 22:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I was hoping this would be a BBC version of CHiPs, starring Ricky Gervais as Ponch and Clive Owen as Jon. Caknuck 01:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete persnickety British rant about American terminology. Although I must say, if Caknuck's TV show ever came about, I would totally support it. Wavy G 03:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete mainly becuase it doesn't address the central issue of necessary toppings, such as mustard, vinegar, catsup, & mayo... mmmm... mayo.... SkierRMH 04:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, POV fork. Terence Ong 05:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
