South Indian Food in New Zealand

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is about Indian cuisine in general, and we already have an article for that. Does not talk specifically about South Indian cuisine (and we also already have an article for that), or Indian cuisine in New Zealand. cymru.lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 04:26, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * .... I would say give this a little time to go somewhere, at the moment it's simply a copypaste of Indian cuisine with nothing added except an image of dubious copyright status (I removed some clear copyvio text, which didn't mention New Zealand either). If there's no improvement this can be speedy deleted (A10). Hairhorn (talk) 04:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Everything in this article is filched without attribution and falsely labelled as the creator's own work. The text is filched from, as noted, our Indian cuisine article and not labelled anywhere as someone else's work; and the image (that I've tagged at Commons) is lifted from one of several places around the WWW and re-branded as the creator's own work.  There's no actual original content here at all.  Uncle G (talk) 05:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Given that some of the creator's other uploads at commons turn out to include advertisements with a telephone number on them, it's hard not to draw the conclusion that patching together some scraps of prose pinched from various places, an image nicked from somewhere else, and an advertisement with one's business telephone number on it, all under a title that describes the product sold by the business, wasn't really an attempt to write an encyclopaedia article. I'll get another administrator to double-check me here. Uncle G (talk) 05:28, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, article is about South Indian food, but not about such food in New Zealand.- gadfium 05:28, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, as the editor's intention was to promote his business, and there's nothing encyclopaedic about the article.  Schwede 66  22:17, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't know if South Indian Food in New Zeland is a viable topic or not. However, the current article and its associated problems is not the proper start of such an article.  Since the content isn't really focused about South Indian cuisine as it is in New Zealand, there is nothing worth saving for anybody who wishes to start an article on this topic. -- Whpq (talk) 17:33, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
