Making Cheddar Cheese
Wikipedia is not a recipe book. Delete or merge whatever's salvageable into Cheddar cheese. ChrisO 17:09, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

This is not intended to be a recipe, but an informative discussion of what goes into making cheddar. I'd happily change the content to match this, but my intention is to allow people to know what goes into the process, not specifically a recipe. Any advise toward this end would be appreciated.

Sorry, fairly new to this. Last entry was me. Any advise is welcome, but the process of making cheddar is more than a "recipe" in my opinion and more of a "process" - like the science behind a recipe more than the recipe itself. If this isn't intended for Wikipedia, let me know and I will do what merging I can. 17:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC)JPPlautz
 * Keep It's more than a recipe. Maybe title change to something like Manufacturing process for Cheddar cheese would capture the intent better.  There's a lot written in the Dairying literature on this topic, so an article is perfectly possible Dlyons493 17:30, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep/transwiki. An article on the process of making cheddar cheese and how it differs from other cheeses is worthy of Wikipedia. The main recipie/howto is worth keeping but does not fit in Wikipedia, perhaps Wikibooks would take it for the cookbook?

 * Keep/transwiki as per Thryduulf. Well done to JPPlautz for the article by the way. Capitalistroadster 18:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would support a merge/redirect with Cheddar cheese if that article is not too big.  The manufacturing process for Cheddar cheese is on-topic for an encyclopedia.  —Matthew Brown (T:C) 20:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki per above. Nice article, will be even happier in the right home :-) Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 20:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki somewhere; See WP:NOT Instruction manual. Peyna 21:18, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Matthew Brown. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 06:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki and delete, I'm sure it fits into Wikibooks somewhere. Stifle 23:08, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
