Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Articles fail to establish any encyclopedic notability. CyberAnth 06:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasons:


 * Delete Taco salad, Karedok and Fattoush for being merely recipes. Wikipedia is not a recipe book. As for the rest, no opinion. MER-C 08:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all except Acar. Acar or Achar is a very popular dish in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Everyone in this region eats this pickle dish. It needs some citing of sources and a bit of expansion and it should be fine. Terence Ong 10:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all, including Acar, unless non-trivial references from reliable sources as to the notability of the dishes are found and added to the article/s by the end of the AFD. -- Charlene 15:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Relist seperately, articles vary in notablitlity and potential encycopedic value. Artw 18:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Failing that Keep on Piyaz, Acar and Ambrosia, delete on the rest. I have a feeling that Taco Salad is actually an American fast food invention, if that's the case then exploring that angle could be a reason for keeping it. Artw 18:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Some information on taco salad here: Sounds like that cookbook could be used as one source and there are probably others. Not sure it would be enough for notability or not so I have no vote Plymouths 23:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and cleanup and expand. There is nothing wrong with the topics, and nothing wrong with stubs. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information lists 9 reasons to delete, this doesn't meet any of the 9. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Very Strong Keep on each article for several reasons. Firstly, I've checked through them all on various online places.  Each seems notable in English, online, let alone in their native language and offline.  I have provided verifiable sources (foodnetwork, newspapers..) for a few, but I don't have the time to provide one for each.  Secondly, a point on "recipes".  None of these article is a recipe, the fact is that any salad has a few basic ingredients.  These will be mentioned in the article, so its a good place to start the stub.  Thirdly, each article is different.  They are not simply all Salads out of a cookbook, they are foods from varying cultures, that exist in the English-language-cookbook-canon to varying degrees.  Therefore they should each be relisted separately before deletion is even considered.  Lastly, note people's different votes on which to keep, and which to delete.  This is an example of differing sets of knowledge not overlapping enough leading to systemic bias in Wikipedia.  We must be very careful before deleting any of these for that reason.  Based on this, and considering other reasons for keep, I believe the "burden of proof" falls on those who advocate deleting to provide explicit reasons for each article on why to delete. Thanks for reading my treatise. &mdash;siro&chi;o 09:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree that they should be relisted separately. Much easier for people to work on improving them by adding references if they are working on one at a time as well. I'm personally feeling overwhelmed by the size of the list. Plymouths 09:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all. Each article has a different degree of notability. Better to split these up into different noms. --- RockMFR 07:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Very Strong Keep Each of these except Taco salad. The others have cultural significance, taco salad is self-explanatory. If anything, a reference to that dish should be made on the "Taco" page. -MojoXN
