The prod was contested. This is an essay on a non-notable subject. Joe Chill (talk) 00:47, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Can we just speedy delete this rather than drag it for 7 days? This is A7 (no assertion of notability) material all the way. Tarc (talk) 01:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sadly, this doesn't fit speedy criteria. Joe Chill (talk) 01:53, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete this personal essay. Cliff smith  talk  19:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This is strictly an essay, and not a very good one. Joal Beal (talk) 22:19, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't even have to read the article to know in my bones that this is a notable topic. And so it proves as one can immediately find good sources such as Leave the Gun; Take the Cannoli: Food and Family in the Modern American Mafia Film, Food, film and culture, Food in Film, You don't have to eat every dish of rigatoni.  The topic just needs work in accordance with our editing and deletion policies.  Deletion isn't work - it is a lazy refusal to build the encyclopedia.  Colonel Warden (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep based on Colonel Warden's findings.  D r e a m Focus  06:11, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article is just the start of something great.  Furthermore, the article is sourced with reliable references.  The premise of this article is definately valuable and the article may become featured-quality in time. Sapporod1965 (talk) 03:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Essay. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  12:39, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The sources shown prove it is indeed a notable subject for film studies. I have rewritten the article to make it less essay like.--Sodabottle (talk) 05:14, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - shouldn't the title refer to mafiosi, unless the scenes referred to always show one man dining alone.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: essay. I see references about mafia movies and I see references about food in film. But you can't make articles by synthesizing a few topics together. This is WP:OR and i'd use it as an example of an unencyclopedic cross-categorization. Arskwad (talk) 07:05, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please take the time to review the sources before you make such uninformed comments. Sapporod1965 (talk) 01:16, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - original research. Thparkth (talk) 18:26, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, a WP:OR essay. Nsk92 (talk) 01:45, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- Unencyclopedic essay based on some synthesis of various sources. The creator of this article seems to have mistaken this encylopedia for TV Tropes. Reyk  YO!  06:30, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
