 * This article is badly written, but that in itself doesn't justify AfD. However, it doesn't seem to assert nobility and it's not coherent. Delete unless it can be cleaned-up and notability asserted. Hobbeslover talk/contribs 23:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete- Plagerism, the material comes directly from this site. MRoberts &lt;&gt; 23:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment So tagged Hobbeslover talk/contribs 23:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Opentopia is a mirror of wikipedia, so that is not plagerism. This article is still up for debate Hobbeslover talk/contribs 23:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Notability is certainly not established for why this needs an article separate from Italian cuisine. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, or possibly Merge with Italian cuisine. I prefer the first option, because in due course it would be appropriate to have articles on all the regional cuisines, so any merge would be followed in due course by a de-merge. Is the article well-written ? Clearly not, though it's a start. Is the subject notable ? I'd say as notable as Sicilian cuisine, Soul Food and Chiuchow cuisine. Is the article well-referenced ? No, it's badly referenced, but it seems to me that references should be available. This is one of those cases where I'd rather keep the seed and allow it to grow.

 * Delete - I'm all for having a "Cuisine of Puglia" (which is a whole region of Italy, like Sicily) page, but "Food of Southern Puglia" is too esoteric, and has not been shown to be notable on its own. Moreover, the original creator of the article has mostly been active adding cooking school links to articles, and this article merely appears to be a hodgepodge/tweaking of writing from pages on the cooking school site.  - AKeen 22:13, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. --MaNeMeBasat 15:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Nonsense. This is real food, (I've tried southern puglia food) but it is not encyclopedic. Page is sophomorically written. --ⅮⅭⅭⅬⅩⅩⅤⅠⅠ 03:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
