List of recipes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Obsolete-seeming article that began in 2001 as "Please put add any recipes you add to Wikipedia to this list." - the current article is just an arbitrary-seeming list of links to food articles (few if any of which contain full recipes) with occasional dead or inexhaustive links to Wikibooks. It's pretty much just grouped by nationality (it had a couple of unrelated categories for Forme of Cury and hash brownies before I tried to tidy up the article a couple of days ago), and this ground is already well covered by the Global cuisine article.

 * Delete for being too broad per WP:SALAT, and because Wikipedia is not a cookbook. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:43, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Almost completely unmaintainable as a discrete, summary style list or encyclopedia article. Way too broad. Actually rather well-covered by Outline of cuisines. Steven Walling &bull; talk   21:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete The categories of the articles in the list provide an automatically maintained list. jmcw (talk) 12:16, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
