[edit] Putu Mayam

• Delete. It's not informative and makes little sense. BJ 30 June 2005 10:43 (UTC)
• Keep - the article makes no sense, but Putu Mayam is a popular Indian/Malaysian/Singaporean sweet, also called Putu Piring. Google brings up a bunch of variations on this topic. No paper and string involved, I think. Certainly no Aztecs! Noodles, rice, jaggery, coconut, etc. --Mothperson 30 June 2005 15:49 (UTC)
  • Please rewrite theis if you know what Putu Mayam really is. Just delete what's there and put in two or three sentences of your own. Be bold in editing. DJ Clayworth 30 June 2005 17:03 (UTC)

I don't know what it is, really, but I intend to rewrite it. Just not immediately. But I will throw something on for the moment. --Mothperson 30 June 2005 17:12 (UTC) Okay - there's something there. --Mothperson 30 June 2005 17:47 (UTC)

• Keep as rewritten. I know the Aztecs made it to Gallipoli, but Malaysia seems a stretch. Smerdis of Tlön June 30, 2005 18:40 (UTC)
• Keep as well-known Malaysian dish. Well done Mothperson. Capitalistroadster 1 July 2005 01:17 (UTC)
  • Hey - as much as I don't like inane stubs inserted by idiot vandals, I'm not complaining about this one. The vandalism from Singapore threw me into some riveting chat sites about southeast Asian snacks. There's some truly great stuff out there. It was my pleasure. Now, if only we could get one of those stunning images of putu mayam --Mothperson 1 July 2005 02:15 (UTC) (As for the Aztecs, they could have come around from the other side!)
• Keep. Looks like it's only a copyediting issue. -- Natalinasmpf 1 July 2005 11:27 (UTC)
• Keep, as per reasons above. - Mailer Diablo 5 July 2005 12:10 (UTC)
• Keep, too delicious to be deleted. Mandel July 7, 2005 02:37 (UTC)
