Banana cream pie

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't think Wikipedia is a cookbook. Not to mention the article is poorly written.  TV -  VCR   watch  05:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Keep  Keep- 226,000 ghits, clearly a notable type of pie. Get someone to rewrite it, then. - Wo o  ty   Woot?   contribs  05:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ghit? As in Google? -- TV -  VCR   watch  05:49, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What speedy keep criterion are you referring to, Wooty? --Iamunknown 03:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologize, I was under the impression SK was used in clear cases (e.g. with precedent, such as what JJL pointed out below). Clearly we should have an article on this kind of pie, but SK was inappropriate. Changed. - Wo o  ty   Woot?   contribs  04:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Clearly we should have an article on this kind of pie - agreed. It does, however, need to be cleaned up.  --Iamunknown 22:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to the Wikibooks Cookbook. There's precedent for moving recipes. There's not much encyclopedic content to work with to make an article. - Mgm|(talk) 10:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep See e.g. Chocolate creme pie, Chocolate Apple Pie, Mock apple pie (all redirects). At the very least, redirect it to Cream pie. JJL 21:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki per MacGyverMagic/MGM. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Actions • Words))) 02:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per JJL. Like with cocktails, pies are different from one another based on what's in it; therefore, including the "recipe" (actually just the ingredients, as a recipe would include more detailed baking instructions) is relevant and we should ignore the rules on this one.

 * Keep - other kinds of pie linked from the main Pie article have their own articles, including Apple pie, which has a pretty good history of the topic. I'm surprised that this article isn't linked from Pieing, though.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 15:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to cream pie. The current article sports only poorly sourced claims; other cream pies redirect to cream pie (Chocolate creme pie, Coconut cream pie), which certainly has space for specific information about notable varieties. I don't see anything worth a transwiki. &mdash; Scientizzle 22:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A notable article. Tastes good, too. --Eastmain 04:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not only is it a good dessert dish, but there's a lot of potential for references in popular culture. There have been SO many Looney Tunes reels that have involved the use of a banana cream pie as a practical joke.--WaltCip 13:44, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
