Bajtra

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable liqueur. No independent refs with in depth coverage and nothing obvious in google. The two non-English wiki articles contain refs worth stealing. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:16, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

I added this entry for Bajtra seven years ago after a trip to Malta where my wife and I enjoyed this liqueur. Bajtra may not be very well known in every part of the world but it's incredibly popular in Malta. When we got back home to California we searched for Bajtra and had a difficult time finding any information. After a lot of research we did find it and I added the entry to Wikipedia in case anyone else was looking for Bajtra as well. I always thought Wikipedia was a repository for all knowledge and information so I can't understand why anyone would want to delete any factual information that someone spent the time and effort to research and add to the database. But if Wikipedia only wants to cover the most popular things in the world then I guess you should delete my seven year old entry for Bajtra but I would certainly disagree with that decision.

I've added links to a couple articles about Bajtra that tell a bit more about this liqueur and its history in Malta. http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20030320/local/i-zeppis-bajtra-i-the-liqueur-from-the-prickly-pear-fruit.154122 and http://tfrnorthcyprus.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/chefs-choice-prickly-pear-liqueur/ Maybe someone who is more of a Wikipedia expert could help me incorporate some of this information into the main Bajtra entry. Thank you. JohnnieYoung (talk) 23:33, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

 * According to you. To me, the links (notable Maltese newspapers) show that the liqueur is popular in Malta. But I respect your opinion. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:35, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to Opuntia – As food. Not enough significant coverage in reliable sources to qualify for a standalone article, but this would add verifiable content (per this article) to the Opuntia article. NorthAmerica1000 10:52, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
