[edit] Sweet and sour calamari

Sweet and sour calamari (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Dish is not notable. Article was created by same editor that created article for Chef Chris Albano (which was deleted) and Artichoke Crepe which is up for AFD. All three articles seem to be creatd to promote Chris Albano, who is currently a non-notable chef. Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 02:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge and Delete Tis a quandary for this one, I honestly would call this a variation on Sweet and Sour pork and chicken. I am leaning on a merge with one of those articles, probably Sweet and Sour Chicken since that is also an Chinese-American Cuisine dish. - Jeremy (Jerem43 (talk) 07:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC))
  • Comment - No insult intended, but there could be a perceived COI here in that a Chef is nominating another Chef. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 07:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't see how it is a conflict of interest, it is a statement of facts for the nomination, not my personal opinion of whether I like the dish or not. If I put up my version of other dishes that are not notable I would expect them to be deleted as well (I work on established cuisines mostly though) As a chef, if this is conflict of interest, then working on any food article would be a conflict of interest.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 15:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - non notable dish, seemingly existing to promote a chef. Also written in a very non-encyclopaedic style (though that could be fixed if kept) and more as a newspaper story. "Across the country"? What country? Ben W Bell talk 14:23, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment could be the basis of sweet and sour cuisine or sweet and sour pork derivatives 132.205.99.122 (talk) 21:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - this was complete promotion, the author has never done anything that wasn't about Albano, and Albano is not notable. --Thespian (talk) 11:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
