Olive salad

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable salad that does not pass WP:GNG, references consist of recipes and trivial mentions. WP:BEFORE check yielded no sources that show WP:SIGCOV. Contents of this article could be covered in 1 or 2 sentences on the Muffuletta article. BaduFerreira (talk) 23:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Muffuletta. Per nom, this is not a distinct enough product with sourcing specific to it to need a stand-alone article. All sources here are in the context of the muffaletta. Reywas92Talk 13:45, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge as opposed to redirect, to save some information and sources. Bearian (talk) 16:03, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: I realize this is not a typical argument at AfD, but you can also put it on pasta. Olive salad is associated with the muffuletta, and to be sure some version of it will be on every muffuletta, but you can also add it to any cold cut sandwich. You can drop a spoonful on an actual salad with leaves. I think it will be hard to establish notability for olive salad away from its parent sandwich because even recipes or articles talking about it in another context will still likely mention the sandwich. If it can't be kept though, it should likely be merged rather redirected or deleted outright to give more context for people unfamiliar with the spread. Rjjiii  (talk) 05:05, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
