Kuay Teow Kua Gai

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a recipe, not an encyclopedia article. I PROD'd this originally, but the author de-PROD'd it without explanation. See also Sockpuppet investigations/Oilzayo22820. Jackmcbarn (talk) 12:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Is a merge to Char kway teow (specifically Variations section ) possible because they are both stir-fried kway teow noodles?  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 13:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but this one says Thai food while the one you indicate no. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 13:42, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Char kway teow already has one-liners mentioning existence of Vietnamese and Thai similar dishes. Suggest one-liner: "Kuay Teow Kua Gai is a Thai variant with chicken. (cite)" and done.  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 07:42, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I am looking there since yesterday but I'm not able to see the Thai version. Am I the fool of the neighbourhood? --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 07:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * I've relisted and now I'm pinging, who knows the language and culture, and might be able to shed some light here. Dennis - 2&cent; 17:12, 26 October 2014 (UTC)


 * , and others: First off and on a point of order, I have not been able to find where policy disallows articles on food provided they are duly referenced according to guidelines and I have added a couple of cats. That  said, the article should certainly be rewritten so  as not  to  appear as a simple 'how to' recipe, and the author given to  understand how to (pun?) write for Wikipedia.
 * This is a very common, simple Thai fried chicken noodle dish, and Thai cuisine is generally  made up  of hundreds, if not thousands, of minor variations of just a few dozen basic dishes. When I say common, I mean as in  baked-beans-on-toast for the Brits, so there is nothing particularly  outstanding about it meaning  that the Thais would probably not bother to  make an entry for it in the Thai Wikipedia. There are dozens of Thai language GHITS for it. Keep. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:02, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep for now. As Kudpung mentioned, no valid rationale for deletion was given. Regarding merging, there are a whole lot of articles about Southeast-Asian noodle variants which need sorting out, but that is not within the scope of this AfD. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:04, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
