[edit] Cooking on a campfire

Cooking on a campfire (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

WP:NOT an instruction manual. Poorly-referenced, poorly written. Mikeblas 03:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - instructional aspect should certainly be trimmed, but there is a good bit of encyclopedic content. --Eyrian 04:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT instruction manuals. Move the pertinent parts ("Be careful not to burn food, self, or forest") to backpacking or some other article. (What is the wiki for instruction manuals?) Shenme 05:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Rename to Campfire cooking which makes the name sound less like an instruction manual, then remove the instructional parts to make more encyclopedic. Otherwise, I have no real objection to deletion, though oddly it might have been suggested for deletion back in the dark ages. Oh, and the wiki for instruction manuals would probably be Wikihow.

  • Transwiki to wikibooks --Selket Talk 08:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • transwiki to wikibooks. Can people remember there is a wikibook section?! Good article, but not here. 64.180.83.71 23:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and suppress the how-to aspect - cooking on a campfire is mentioned in many works both scientific (ethnography, archeology) and popular (e.g. western literature). In my opinion, a very notable theme. --Ioannes Pragensis 20:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and Merge into Campfire. --Valley2city₪‽ 07:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ioannes Pragensis, this subject can be handled in an encylopedic context; please remove any and all original research. Burntsauce 17:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
