Stuffed Grape Leaves with Rice

 * — (View AfD)

has been creating a series of articles about Albanian recipes. They are just recipes. These articles don't appear to be speediable but they clearly have no business in an encyclopedia. This particular prod got contested so I suppose I have to take it here. Note that I may end up adding other articles to this AfD if those prods are also contested.

 * Delete, Wikipedia is not an instruction manual; the author may want to transwiki the articles to the Wikibooks cookbook. --Muchness 03:43, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Provide samples to all editors for evaluation Delete as recipe but encourage creator to contribute to Albanian cuisine. Newyorkbrad 03:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per my prod: Wikipedia is not a cookbook. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 04:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 05:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. I'd normally say Transwiki, but can we transwiki to Wikibooks? Also, how much is a "package" of rice? Rice comes in dozens of package sizes, from 250 mg to 10 kg. -- Charlene 06:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You've got to eye it. Anyway you won't be able to stuff too much; there's a limit imposed by physics. Save the leftover rice for whatever. &mdash; coe l acan t a lk  &mdash; 07:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikibooks will take transwikis, but - honestly - they get altogether too many of them to maintain, so they end up deleting most of it. This probably wouldn't make the cut. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 08:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That applies more to articles that would form standalone books rather than to articles that can be slotted into the existing Cookbook, as this recipe can be. Uncle G 12:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: this dish is really good. You should fix it in the next couple days before this AFD closes, just to give the "article" its due. &mdash; coe l acan t a lk  &mdash; 07:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I imagine it would be, except that this is only a list of ingredients; recipes usually also have instructions. Delete because there's not enough there to transwiki. --Jamoche 16:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with the others, Wikipedia's not a compiler of recipes. Gazpacho 10:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LOL. :D CyberAnth 12:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It wouldn't even be so bad if it weren't just pasted in or written with no regard for what Wikipedia actually is (although what I'm saying here violates WP:BITE). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by HisSpaceResearch (talk • contribs) 18:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete It probably tastes great, and if instructions were included I might give it a go, but either way Wikipedia is not a cookbook.--Anthony.bradbury 18:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom SUBWAYguy 22:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete sounds yummy but wikipedia is not a cookbook. --Duke of Duchess Street 00:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dolma or Delete. And please no more horrible puns about WP:BITE. cab 00:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dolma. Redirects are cheap, and this is a plausible search.  delldot | talk 18:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dolma. Curses, you beat me to it, delldot!  But yes, a reasonable search term, and in essence is what this very stubby, badly formatted article is about anyway. -- Y&#124;yukichigai 23:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
