Speedy deletion nomination of Aramaic cookie


A tag has been placed on Aramaic cookie, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. (See section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Scarlettail (talk) 02:47, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Aramaic cookies
I would like to formally ask that you stop trying to re-create the article for Aramaic cookies on Wikipedia. While your intentions may be good, the problem is that we are not a repository for recipes and we can only have articles if the food is notable enough for an entry independent of the main entry (in this case, cookies). It also didn't help that the article was written as if it was for a tourism site, which comes across as promotional. Given that I can't find anything to show that we need an entry specifically oriented towards Aramaic cookies, I would like to ask that you stop re-creating the entry in the mainspace and in your userspace. I also have to state that I'm a little unconvinced that the term for cookies in Syria is "Aramaic cookie", given the lack of hits in an average Google search. I'm aware that it would pretty much just pull up English sources, but the rule of thumb is that if a phrase is common in other countries, eventually there will be mention of the term in English- even if it's in places we can't use as a reliable source. This doesn't mean that they don't have cookies, just that perhaps the term isn't actually "Aramaic cookie" but something else. From the way the article reads, it doesn't seem like it's really that different from cookies made in other countries for similar daily eating, holidays, and religious observances. Most of the Syria-specific cookies are given more specific names such as Ma'amoul, and aren't called by the term you're using. Typically speaking, most countries don't refer to cookies by a language spoken by part or most of the people living there. In other words, we don't term Spain-specific cookies "Spanish cookies" or Africa-specific ones "Afrikaans cookies". The term might be used casually, but it's not the official term and unless it's in very common usage or makes sense to use, we wouldn't include it as a potential name for an article or a redirect. In any case, please do not re-create the article in the way you have been, as this could be seen as disruptive and could lead to you getting a temporary or permanent block. I notice that nobody has given you a formal warning about re-creating the articles, so consider this to be as such. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:10, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
