List of Pakistani snacks

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Overly narrow intersection. What makes these exclusively Pakistani? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 05:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This list has no criteria; just because a snack might be eaten in Pakistan doesn't mean it is Pakistani. Lots of people eat spaghetti here in America; does that make spaghetti American?  Erpert  Who is this guy? 07:44, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Another indiscriminate list. No indication that people have written about this list, and I agree with Erpert on the broader point: not ever minutiae of every culture needs an article, particularly one that doesn't add much. Shadowjams (talk) 11:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep/merge There are numerous related topics such as mithai and chaat. As this is just a stub, a sensible way of observing our editing policy would be merger with Pakistani cuisine. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:56, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to a new subsection "Snacks" of Pakistani cuisine. --Lambiam 17:16, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Very weak smerge/redirect per Lambiam. The problem is, as the nominator suggests, that these aren't exclusively Pakistani; indeed, the list could just as well be titled List of Indian snacks (which exists, but is also in pretty bad shape). The prose itself really says nothing of any depth. -- Kinu t /c  09:13, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
