List of books on Welsh cuisine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not a list of cookbooks, and it appears none of these books have stand-alone entries. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:16, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - "not a list of cookbooks" doesn't really hold up - there isn't a fundamental reason it wouldn't be allowed. However "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" WP:LISTN - there aren't any references given bonding Welsh cookbooks together, which is what would be needed under this.

 * Delete. Per WP:LISTN (as there are no notable books) and WP:NOT. Ajf773 (talk) 23:44, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

User: Vouliagmeni The list was made as part of the Welsh Cuisine project and I do hope it meets Wikipedia's criteria. I am preparing an introduction to explain the nature of the types of writing on this cuisine which should assist in explaining the article's relevance.

 * (1) If you could find professionally published bibliographies of welsh cookbooks or cookery (not exactly the same thing), LISTN would be satisfied. After a very brief non exhaustive search I found this. (2) If you could find bibliographies of cookbooks or cookery this might be justified as a legitimate spinout or daughter list of the main list of cookbooks or bibliography of cookery. On the same search I found  "Culinary Landmarks: A Bibliography of Canadian Cookbooks, 1825-1949" (University of Toronto), and what seems to be a bibliography of cook books in the Annual Report of the New York State Library, and lists of the best cookbooks from the Guardian, Telegraph and Observer, so it is clear there is scope for bibliographies in this general area. (3) I advise caution before deleting things, because it should be possible to produce some kind of list of cookbooks.  James500 (talk) 04:18, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment User: Vouliagmeni - all except the nominator seem to accept that there isn't anything per se against the article existing - it's just because we're lacking a reliable source about welsh cookbooks, currently it's just a list you've put together 1 at a time. I don't know if you were still planning on adding that addition, and whether it was going to have any useful sources, but please do if it would! Nosebagbear (talk) 10:06, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
