List of wild foods

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A frankly bizarre article. It consists of a curious hybrid of mainstream non-domesticated animals and non-cultivated plants, and "unexplored, here be dragons" stuff about the need to carefulyl identify before consumption. Here's an example: under fish, you have a number of freshwater fish, but many of these are either farmed or carefully managed game stocks. Game is also often not wild - for example, grouse are generally managed and shot on well-tended grouse moors, nothing wild about them. Ditto pheasant. Ar molluscs wild? Not round here. Oyster beds are also managed. Not farmed, but managed. And that's the fundamental problem with the list; it is founded on an original research definition of what constitues wild food, and the foods are then added by more original research.

 * Delete per nom. The referencing is not nearly sufficient, and the nature of the subject (no pun intended) promotes original research. YechielMan 15:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Insufficient sourcing, largely WP:OR and most of it doesn't make any sense.  Virtually any source of food can be found in the wild as well.  Ar ky an  &#149; (talk) 15:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - probably one of the funniest articles I have had the pleasure of reading recently. However, weird, wonderful and entertaining doesn't make it encyclopedic. Rgds, - Trident13 16:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
