Fictional food in reality

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It's an interesting collection, but secondary sources do not seem to say that fictional food itself is a notable topic. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * One of the best sources, a National Geographic article, is about real food in fiction, not fictional food.Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:54, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Also the material about "The Dream of the Red Chamber" seems to be about recreating older dishes mentioned in the novel, not that the dishes were fictional.Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:03, 20 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Articles for deletion/List of Fictional Food may be of interest as a precedent. --Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:35, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTCOOKBOOK. This article is non-encyclopedic kruft imo. Impressively assembled, I grant you, but the mere fact that somebody somewhere has prepared a dish described in a work of fiction does not merit a list or article here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:40, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Shawn in Montreal's comment above. Aoba47 (talk) 16:14, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
