 * Keep I do not know the reason of why this is even proposed to be deleted. I don't see a problem with it whatsoever. This article was also added to the AntiWikipedia in case that it is deleted. BrandNew21 10:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, advertisement, marinade recipe fails Wikipedia is not a recipe book. --Coredesat 10:26, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if there is some contrived notion of viability to back this article up, it's so poorly written that I consider it beyond repair anyway. Black-Velvet 11:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete however tasty it may be. per Coredesat Fiddle Faddle 11:24, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete so people have to come to the Antiwikipedia to see it and drive up our traffic ranking.
 * Delete so starving African children on their $100 laptops can't find out about something so tasty.
 * Keep I wrote the article (sorry if it's badly written, as I'm new to this) because it is a staple of SF Bay area life (at least Silicon Valley from my experience) and I hear constant inquiries about it, what is it, how do they make it, why is it so black, etc. It is a topic of discussion at any BBQ or place where it's served; it also struck me as a bit of an odd and noteworthy thing with an interesting history that would fit in at Wikipedia - i.e. you hear about Fred Steak and go to Wikipedia to find out what it is (I in fact did that before deciding to write an entry).  And the recipe is not directly for it, but an entry on how one might make this product elsewhere in the world, i.e. additive knowledge on a food item (which I admit does stray close to a recipe, but that's not the main point of the article).  Feel free (obviously) to remove pricing (provided again for additive info on price escalation) or otherwise fix the article.  And it's not a prank, as I thought it was interesting and worthy of an entry.Mushero 03:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Coredesat. NN outside of SF, and the tone of discussion here makes it look more and more like a prank. --DarkAudit 16:07, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep or Transwiki to WikiCookbooks Seems okay to me as a bit of Northern California cuisine. AntiWikipedia seems to be quite idiotic and demented however. Bwithh 16:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn business. Write-up in local student paper is not evidence of notability. In fact, I would consider any local write-up of a culinary establishment insufficient, as these are almost like Yellow Pages entries. Crum375 00:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And I would not rule out a prank. Crum375 00:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki per Bwithh Ace of Sevens below. When it gets notable outside the Bay Area/blog circuit, no doubt it'll be welcomed back. --DaveG12345 00:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment To clarify, per Ace of Sevens, only the recipe is to be transwikied IMO, delete the advert. --DaveG12345 01:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. I'm from the Bay Area, and this is NOT a "stable" (or staple) of Bay Area life. I suspect it's barely a staple of Stanford Shopping Center life. --Calton | Talk 00:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki the recipe to wikibooks, delete the rest. Ace of Sevens 00:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It's creepy and kind of interesting. Someone will find this useful.  Delete anything that sounds like ad copy--and there's a recipe here?
 * Transwiki to WikiCookbooks. Yamaguchi先生 08:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
