Lemon plum

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I've done my damnedest to find any reliable sources about this type of plum, and I haven't been able to find anything substantive and reliable, no matter what I add to the search. The lengthiest source I found was The Six Pillars of Holistic Nutrition, which I wouldn't consider an exceptionally reliable source. There's also a scant paragraph in this local-interest article about fruit to try. Everything else is basically name-drops on lists.

I tried to look under "Inca plum", because the article suggests they might be one and the same, but again I mostly found list entries and commercial websites. The Inca plum exists on the Slow Food Ark of Taste, but doesn't say anything about also being called the lemon plum, so I can't assume they're one and the same.

Ultimately, even if they are, we have a) an entry in a book about holistic nutrition, b) a scant paragraph in a local-interest story, and c) a single-paragraph entry in a database that we can't even be sure is about the same fruit.

It's not enough for an article. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 15:57, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Yes, this is suspiciously hard to find. I.e., nothing at all on Scholar, one apparent and a few possible-verging-on-doutbful mentions in books. If there was a scientific name to go with the plant that would help (actually it would suffice as a notable topic on its own), but I can't find anything like that. Too little coverage to sustain an article. Add: and both references given in the article are worthless/inapplicable :/ -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:48, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I found this source and quite a lot of photo sources that gives it a PLU code of 4441 and 4442 according to the size. I don't know if this is enough to suggest that it should pass notability. This seems to have nothing to do with the 2 plants mentioned at Yellow plum though. --Dom from Paris (talk) 15:48, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting; sketchy as it is, best source so far. Why don't these people note their data sources, argh |p -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:07, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Found a couple more sources, starting with image searches. These are both from commercial fruit sellers, but at least show the beast is around and confirm some of the info:  I dunno... getting there? -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Not enough sources right now to sustain an article. Should more reliable sources appear in the future, the article could of course be recreated. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 09:37, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
