Bangladeshi cuisine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is badly written and only cites one source, and only copy-paste or close paraphrasing. Also the purpose of this article can be served by Bengali cuisine. Fazbear7891 (talk) 02:08, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - merge to Bengali cuisine may be WP:TOOLONG. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Bengali cuisine. this is what i'm thinking. either delete Bangladeshi cuisine or merge it. Fazbear7891 (talk) 16:37, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge in to Bengali cuisine - No doubt about it Bengali cuisine is long but I'd rather see it Merged than deleted and personally Bangladeshi_cuisine& seems better off in the cuisine article anyway. – Davey 2010 Talk 20:20, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've just realized I somehow ended up at the wrong article as whatever article I had up had 4 lines & 1 cite .... I dunno!, Anyway the article looks notable judging by the sources and seems to pass GNG, Merging is pointless as they're 2 different things in that respect. – Davey 2010 Talk 02:25, 14 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: notable topic. The readable prose size of Bengali cuisine is already at 51kB (and the article is certainly large), and the article would meet or exceed the usual guideline of "probable division" if merged, at 60kB. The scope of the topic is not large, so it should stay split and maybe create a standalone article on West Bengal cuisine. If the article can be shortened by removing redundancies or just shortening unnecessary parts, then merge, but else keep. Esquivalience t 20:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notable topic; article has been around since 2005. However, it looks like someone copy/pasted entire content from another website in 2012; web archive shows that content being around since at least 2011. I'm going to look closer and possibly revert to an earlier version. Nevermind, web archive of that site actually only goes to 2013; and the style of the first sentence "Subject (native language term of that subject) ..." is very WP. —Мандичка YO 😜 20:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: - Notable topic per above. - Ret.Prof (talk) 15:19, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable topic. Falls under cuisines of sovereign states. Maduwanwela (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Bengali cuisine, since they seem to be the same thing and the other article is better. Borock (talk) 16:22, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
