Talk:Inyama yenhloko

draft
Hey, @Frofoodie! I think this is clearly a notable food, as almost any traditional/ceremonial food is notable, but we have to prove that before an article can be published.

We need to see discussion of this food in reliable sources. That could be books, newspapers, magazines, or scholarly journals. Can you find any articles about it? I'm in the US, so sometimes it's easier for people who are located in the region where a food is well-known to find sources discussing that food. Considering doing searches uses alternate terms, like iskopo or cow's head, or if you're able, in other local languages. If there are cookbooks in which a recipe appears, check to see if that cookbook also discusses the dish's history (rather than simply providing a recipe.) Books about S African culture/customs may also have information. If you have a library you can access, a reference librarian may be able to help. You might also check to see if there are local goverments that have proclaimed it a traditional dish.

The references that are in the article right now aren't sufficient to prove that the food item is notable enough for an article. What we need is ideally 3 sources discussing the food itself -- its history, its uses, where it's popular and with whom, etc. The references we have now are all just passing mentions of the food in discussions of other subjects, which means it doesn't prove the food is notable.

I've gone through the sources (and added one.) The All4Women doesn't look like a reliable source, which is why I marked it as "better source needed" for that piece of information.
