German Potato Salad

 * — (View AfD)

A recipe - above all in jpg format o_o 790 02:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - now that's new. Wikipedia is not a recipe book. The image needs to disappear for the same reason. It's most likely a copyvio too. MER-C 02:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to potato salad which already covers this subject effectively. FrozenPurpleCube 02:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to wikibooks, which does have a cookbook. Koweja 03:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki per above. --Sable232 04:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki per above - with a note to double check copyvio - but it's so generic & doesn't appear to be a cut&paste. SkierRMH, 07:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Germany-related deletions.  -- Kusma (討論) 07:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to potato salad. The image is useless. J I P  | Talk 08:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge the non image portion to Potato salad. German Potato Salad is notable enough to at least have a mention under potato salad, German Potato Salad (canned or fresh) is a fairly common supermarket and deli item. Also, I don't think this is an actual German dish, any more than German chocolate cake is German. Tubezone 09:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikibooks ... you never know when you'll have to make German Potato Salad for 100 people.--Isotope23 14:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Per Uncle G this is not a candidate for Transwikificaton, so Redirect to Potato Salad where this is already briefly mentioned and could be expanded upon.--Isotope23 17:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki the text to Cookbook. --Howrealisreal 15:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as stands. Text contained within images is invisible to many search functions and therefore should not be accepted. If converted to standard text Transwiki to wikibooks seems appropriate. ccscott 15:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The Cookbook won't take this, for the simple reason that there's no actual recipe in the article text, which is 1 sentence long. Transwikification won't transfer the image, which is where the recipe is. Uncle G 16:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice. Probably does deserve some mention in the current potato salad article, and the dish may well be noteworthy enough to support an individual article.  If someone wants to retype the recipe, transwiki that. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to potato salid FirefoxMan 16:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above - see here for the image deletion discussion. Agathoclea 19:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There should be no cases of an image of text posing as an article, whatever the subject. The text cannot be readily edited, without taking the image to Photoshop and pasting new text over the old. Stifle it. Edison 20:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Convert the text that's in the jpg file into ascii text and then Transwiki. Fg2 00:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I texified the jpg and anglified the quantities in the recipe, though it'll probably get deleted anyway. Tubezone 07:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge: per Tubezone SweetGodiva 22:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to potato salad as said above. Not necessarily  a non-notable subject, but certainly can't be an article in its current state.  Dar-Ape 02:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Cookbook—there is a recipe there now. — Encephalon 09:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Leave it Alone & Get a Life: Kevin Murray
 * SPEEDY KEEP as revised and for the humor and the opportunity to learn a new W word! Wehrmacht I'm marching into my kitchen now! - BMcCJ 01:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki then redirect or delete - WP:NOT FOR RECIPES, yada yada. -Patstuarttalk 02:27, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
