Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fried-brain sandwich

Fried-brain sandwich was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to keep.

 * Delete - not notable, really not something that anyone outside St. Louis cares about. (Should be User:Stellertony)
 * Delete - all we learn is that these are served in St. Louis & of course, that they are sandwiches made from fried brains. Wolfman 04:46, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - In an era when our cuisines and palates are becoming homogenous, it is of value to preserve information about regional cultural differences. Bbpen 05:37, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC) Added just a bit to entry Bbpen 15:09, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. More notable than slashdot trolls. Norm 15:29, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Move to Wikibooks Cookbook:Fried-brain sandwich. --Viriditas 12:52, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * agree with move. CB Droege 15:53, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * This is not a recipe, it's an article about a kind of food. The things that should be moved to Wikibooks are, basically, articles that consist mostly of a specific list of ingredients followed by a specific procedure for preparing a particular version of some kind of food. "Aunt Edna's Crispy Hot Fried-Brain Sandwich. Ingredients: one cup brains. Note: brains must be absolutely fresh. One cup flour. 2 T baking soda...."

 * Keep. Is important for people outside of St. Louis as it was in the national spotlight during the mad cow scare. (should be User:168.150.253.56)
 * Although this has several votes, I don't believe it was previously posted on VfD. Keep. Cool Hand Luke  03:43, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem non-notable. Keep. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 07:05, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems interesting enough. --Yuninjie 08:06, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * keep &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  10:20, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. For all the right reasons.  [[en:RaD Man|RaD Man (talk)]] 15:51, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. BBpen's decent new stub. Seems interesting to me. It's definitely not a recipe. It's a description of a regional food item, one I'd never heard of. I'd like a little more confirmation of just how common this is. Here's a mention of it being eaten in an Indiana town. Would be especially interesting if this actual food item was the inspiration of the colloquial phrase "my brain is fried" and/or the "this is your brain on drugs" public-service ads...

 * Keep. I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Jeff Knaggs 16:12, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Fifteen years ago I would tried them&mdash;it&mdash;whatever&mdash;myself. But unless they can establish that cooking kills prions, forget it. My brain is spongy enough, thank you. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 19:59, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. --Improv 20:04, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's interesting and I think it is notable for the reasons Bbpen gave. I would never try it. NeoJustin 23:08 Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, the fact that people in some part of the world eat cow brains is notable because of BSE. Gazpacho 23:27, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, sure, a nice little bit of cultural info. Everyking 04:48, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. No reason why it should be considered irrelevant.   &bull;  &rarr;  I&ntilde;g&oacute;lemo  &larr;&bull;  06:11, 2004 Nov 4 (UTC)
 * Definate Keep. Local, unusual dishes that are unheard of nearly anywhere else are DEFINATELY worth keeping.  Fascinating.  A big advantage for Wikipedia over other 'pedias.  See also Garbage plate.  Terrapin 15:04, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
