Ancient Mayan Culture: The Family, Food and the Home

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

It's not an encyclopedia article, it's an essay with no hope of being an encylopedia article because it's too broad therefore there's no way to improve it. We already have the more-than-adequate Maya civilization and its daughter pages, this doesn't add anything and there's no viable merge target due to its scope.

 * Delete This is an essay, complete with a popcorn recipe. I'm sure that it was added in good faith, but it's redundant and not encyclopedic. Nick Dowling (talk) 23:30, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete An essay. Wikipedia is not a depository for homework. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 14:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, redundant to Maya civilization, Maya architecture, Maya cuisine, Maya society and Maya peoples. I'd say some of those articles are already redundant. Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 03:47, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's an essay, not an article. J I P  | Talk 06:28, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * rewrite/relink, while this article is certainly an essay, it does contain something valuable--there's no information from the main pages on Mayan culture that informs on the Mayan social life. While there are many areas that are helpful that dance around the subject (religion, architecture, etc.), none speak to the "marriage practices" noted in this essay. It would be helpful to delete this page perhaps and then drop in a section on Mayan social life that is more cohesive than what is currently available (provided it is properly sourced, which the AfD is not). --eleuthero (talk) 20:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
