Talk:Samlar kari

Is this dish independently notable and is it even Cambodian?
Samlar kari is the NAME of Cambodian chicken curry, yes. But that doesn't mean it is a Cambodian dish nor that it should warrant its own Wikipedia article. There aren't any reliable sources which establish that this dish was invented in Cambodia. Let me look at each source cited in the article, for example:
 * This source (1) lists samlar kari as a cambodian dish. But it also lists tonnes of other dishes as Cambodian, which are definitely not cambodian. I honestly can't be bothered going through each entry, but 90% of the dishes from that list are not Cambodian: banh tam bi, wanton noodles, Thịt kho tàu, congee, fried rice, hainanese chicken rice, banh tet, Vietnamese iced coffee, Tangyuan (food), youtiao, cong you bing, bo luc lac, banh mi, Pumpkin-coconut custard, goi cuon, Shumai, hot pot, khanom krok. All those dishes are demonstrable not Cambodian, and many many more on that list, all that guy is doing is listing the cambodian **names** for foreign dishes. In any case, that source does not appear to be a reliable source.
 * This source (2) is firstly a self-published travel blog, not a reliable source. It has no editorial standards. Secondly, that article isn't even about samlar kari. It gives it no notability.
 * Source (3) does not appear to be a reliable source and it says nothing about the dish's origins anyway. Much like the first source, this source also lists a whole bunch of non-cambodian foods as being cambodian. Apples&#38;Manzanas (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I am pinging the person who made this article . My view would be this article should be deleted or perhaps just redirect back to cambodian cuisine or red curry. Apples&#38;Manzanas (talk) 12:45, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * on second glance I am inclined to agree with you; I was able to cite two print sources (which would for Wikipedia purposes would establish the dish as Cambodian as they describe it as such), but neither are particularly in-depth. While I love stub articles, this one is not adding any significant amount of information to Wikipedia that cannot already be found at Cambodian cuisine. I will redirect the article there, and maybe see if sufficient WP:RS exist to create an article for Samlor, which would be a more refined redirect target. SamHolt6 (talk) 13:19, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yep, thanks. Apples&#38;Manzanas (talk) 13:21, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
