List of vegan foods

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unencyclopedic; unbounded list of every fruit, vegetable, grain, fluid, and processed product that doesn't happen to have animal products. KellenT 15:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary list and rather silly: Looks like water doesn't contain any meat, nor does a lemon. What's that?  There's no meat in pumpkin seeds either?  Are you sure?  I thought they were actually flattened hamster livers.  Ok, ok.  Seriously, the encyclopedic aspects of this are already covered in other articles (Veganism, Vegan nutrition, etc.) Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Partially a restatement of what's obvious, but there's also some elements of howto in the mix. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 16:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as unencyclopedic, redundant listcruft. Eusebeus (talk) 17:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate collection of info.-- TreasuryTag talk contribs  18:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's just a list of food...  Djk3 (talk) 20:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The reason this list is different from the other 58 lists of foods, is that these foods are vegan, which s the crucial point. This is not a list of vegan salads, this list is one of a kind, which is more reason why it is necessary to keep. This is very encyclopedic to Wikipedia's standards due to the fact it is about vegan foods. Other list of foods may be unencyclopedic & unbounded, but many people are not aware of the vegan foods out there, which is the very reason for Wikipedia, a source for information. The majority of people who are not vegans would find this list *silly* or redundant, that is because they do not know what veganism is, that is further the reason why this list is needed. Most people are not aware of the foods that are vegan and this most certainly is not covered in veganism, & defiantly not in vegan nutrition. They rather mock the only vegan food list on here while keep their other somehow more important list on Wikipedia, the one of the only real food list that actually serves encyclopedic purpose. Removing important informative articles and list like this from Wikipedia and keep useless, uninformative list, is what gives it a crazy bad name.--Sugarcubez (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm vegan. I nominated the article for deletion. Veganism and Animal product cover the same area in a more intelligent way than this list. That the other lists might be bad is not reason to keep this list. Nominate them for deletion if you feel strongly about them. KellenT 23:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm also vegan. I think that many of the other lists of foods are silly too, and it might be worth it to nominate some of them for deletion as well.    Djk3 (talk) 03:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Kellen I have seen your 'work' here on Wiki and find it hard believing you are a vegan. Those two articles you have listed basically says what we cannot have in small detail, not the vegan foods. And Djk3 I do agree that many other food list are silly and unnecessary, but some actually provide useful encyclopedic information such as this vegan food list.--Sugarcubez (talk) 12:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Kellen appears to be very diligent with making sure that whatever is in the article is cited, positive or negative. That is necessarily going to include removing positive information.  Please don't make personal accusations.  Regarding the list, the fact that the Animal product article is very short highlights how long the List of vegan foods article can conceivably be.  It is bound to be just a list of food, with that relatively small subset not included.  Djk3 (talk) 14:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There should be a vegan cuisine article, the animal product article does not cover the list of vegan foods, that's insane. I am not making a *personal accusation*, I am just stating what I have seen through the years Kellen has done, seems majorly anti-vegan. And I have to differ from what you say about that issue (diligent with making sure that whatever is in the article is cited, positive or negative- not!) very much. And in reality there could not really be anything negative that is a fact and has to directly do with veganism. But, that is a different issue off topic, let's focus on this. There should be a vegan cuisine article instead of this one. - Sugarcubez

Um, my comment was not unsigned, just was not a fancy signature. A lot of people use this as a reference, and information, and this is linked to a lot, as well a lot of sites use this as a reference.- Sugarcubez
