[edit] Delicetese

Hoax, as far as I can tell; Deliceto is a real place, but Delicetese gets less than 10 Google hits, and some of the definitions seem absurd. Delete. Catamorphism 01:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I tried a number of different ways to find out anything about it through Google, with no luck. Only Google hits are references to this article, word-for-word, and one use on a foreign language page which I'm pretty sure is a misspelling of "delicatese". As a former Toronto resident it isn't familiar at all. - Dharmabum420 01:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Darn, I just edited this one today. No reason to keep it though. — Moe ε 03:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment My guess it that it's not a hoax. The official page of Deliceto [1] mentions a kind of pasta called pzzedd while Delicetese has "pzed - homemade pasta". --Cam 17:37, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

More evidence that they talk this way there: this page says that standard Italian domani "tomorrow" is cra in the variety of the Pugliese dialect spoken in the province of Foggia, where Deliceto is. Dopo domani " the day after tomorrow" is pscra. Compare the Delicetese's crεy and pskrεy (disclaimer: my knowledge of Italian is too low to put it-1 on my user page, but I know a few words and my Spanish helps). --Cam 17:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

fixed typo in my last comment. --Cam 18:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Deliceto. Could also be mentioned under Neapolitan language. --Cam 15:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• BJAODN and delete as unverified junk. Stifle 17:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and BJAODN unless some really thorough citations are added in, say, the next ten minutes. Otherwise this looks like a high quality hoax. Editor's sole contribution to the 'pedia, and that over two months ago. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

It's a pretty good hoax. Extends to the official site for Deliceto.--Cam 15:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
