 * Delete unless Cleaned Up - Not much there, but a specific type of carboloading might be worthy of an article if notable or widespread enough. Here, though, two widely varied concepts are sort of slapped together. The Endurance sports section should probably be merged or redirected to Carbohydrate loading, while the Italian food section could be sent to Dinner (as Dinner Party is a disamb to Dinner).

 * Delete, it's not obvious that this is a recognised term with reference to endurance sports (unlike Carbohydrate loading), and stating that a pasta party is a party where people eat pasta-based dishes is quite unnecessary. -- Mithent 00:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I made a stab at cleanup. I found more than 100,000 Google hits for "Pasta party" associated with marathons.  None of them treats the pasta party as independently significant, but clearly the term and event are in wide usage around the world.  (The page in interwikied into German.) I would also support a merge to marathon. Yechiel Man  01:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, carbohydrate loading is a better merge target. Yechiel Man 01:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
