List of Five grains in world culture

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This isn't really a list article: it's someone's theory about how the juxtaposition of the number "five" and whatever gets translated to the English word "grain" is somehow significant. I think we would need a source for that significance, rather than a list of things chosen by the author in a fit of original research.

 * Delete with regret as it’s fascinating but a textbook case of WP:OR. Mccapra (talk) 10:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a wild-growth abnormality of a disambiguation page that is contrary in almost every way to MOS:DAB and while it could be fixed, there is a "five grains" disambiguation page at Five grains (disambiguation), so the result would be a duplicate of that page at the wrong name—or—the page is a spectacular free-association style failure of a set-index article, and we can not and should not have such a set index article and in this respect the page can not be fixed. I am against redirecting because the name is nonsensical.—Alalch E. 12:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless we can copy some of it to WP:OR as an example, after all it's CC-by-SA so why not. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Could move to a subpage of No original research/Examples.—Alalch E. 15:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, for reasons stated above. The article is a pretty clear case of WP:OR and a wonderful example of what not to do when writing an article. ArkHyena (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
