The result was   keep, for now. Everyone seems to agree that the article needs work, and that a merge/redirect may be the right way to go. However, consensus is to give it time to work through the process. Mojo Hand (talk) 13:37, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

I can't find a good CSD criteria, and the author removed the PROD tag I placed on it. Anyhow, it does not appear to be notable enough, and it seems to be exactly what WP:NOTMANUAL is talking about.  Peter  Sam   Fan  16:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to a line in the Desserts and sweets section of Thai cuisine. There are tons of recipes for it (spelled this way and luk chup) in a quick search, so I suspect it's common, but the article as it is isn't encyclopedic or sourced, and it's not obvious there would ever be enough to merit its own entry.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * comment It seams to be about Marzipan, which already has an article. The Portuguese word would be maçapão (or massapão, or marzipã). Anyway it seems to be from Arab origin, not Portuguese (but it is non surprising if it got to Thailand through the Portuguese). That would point to merge/redirect, but... Changing the main ingredient from almonds to green beans makes it a radically new recipe, which would warrant a keep (with much clean up needed). But it also feels like it is a strange large change... so we better check further if this is for real, which I have not tried to. - Nabla (talk) 00:51, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Apparently while making them is a marzipan-like activity of squishing something up, sweetening it, and forming it into shapes, mung beans (which are called something that translates to "green bean" in Thai, it seems) are used. Here's a page explaining more. Pinball22 (talk) 18:59, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep and rewrite. Needing clean-up isn't reason for deletion, and notability is pretty clearly suggested by the multitude of Google hits. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:01, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep and perhaps consult better familiar attention if this can be improved. SwisterTwister   talk  06:40, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
