Kansas City barbecue
Appears to be an ad for barbeque sauce, hopelessly jumbled and unencyclopedic. digital_m e (TalkˑContribs) 22:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong, speedy keep If we have recipies for things like the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster, a fictional cocktail, then we certainly have room for a real, culturally important dish like Kansas City style barbeque.  The article as-is is not at all good, but this is a candidate for cleanup, not deletion.  I don't see any advertising, and I have an intense hatred for advertising on WP.

 * Strong Keep and clean-up. Reads too much like an ad, but seems unintentional. -Czj 22:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs tidying, but I do not see it as an advert--Anthony.bradbury 22:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Anthony.bradbury. -- H·G (words/works) 22:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as one of the Core styles of barbecue. --DarkAudit 23:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per others above. Barbecue from that region is quite well known.--Chaser T 23:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong, speedy keep - I can't believe we're even having this debate over a subject which is widely known. The article cites sources.  There are times when the easy use of these templates really mucks things up.  Folks really should make an effort to at least read the article and its sources before throwing the template on.  I deleted some POV (even as they are widely quoted in the sources).  Americasroof 01:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Alright, looks like I made a mistake. Apologies to all, and I'll double check next time before I nominate something which is apparantly culturaly significant (which I can't vouch for since I am neither from Kansas nor do I barbeque).--digital_m e (TalkˑContribs) 02:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Based on the comments here I am going to delete the templates.  The base of the article was original intended to break up Regional variations of barbecue into sub-articles differentiating the regional differences. Americasroof 21:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
