Thanksgiving dinner
Someone deleted this without an explanation. Perhaps it should be deleted or merged somewhere. Should it? I vote keep. CarDepot 22:45, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Notable part of American culture and cuisine. Redirect to Thanksgiving. Our coverage in Thanksgiving is much better than the article. Capitalistroadster 22:57, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Thanksgiving. --Carnildo 00:48, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Huh? This is very much a Canadian holiday too, and in fact the first Thanksgiving dinner was given by Martin Frobisher in Newfoundland in 1578, some 43 years prior to the Pilgrims' first harvest meal. Denni &#9775; 05:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The article looked like it was describing the American tradition to me. I've changed my vote. --Carnildo 06:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Perhaps One-hour Thanksgiving dinner could be merged into this to help flesh it out? Jacqui  ★ 00:55, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: if it will help to build consensus, I would also be okay with a redirect to Thanksgiving. I still think that more could be written here, though, than is at that article right now. Jacqui  ★ 05:47, 3 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment It was never deleted, and should never have been brought here. Editing disputes, such as whether material like this belongs in a separate article or part of a larger one, should be discussed on the Talk pages of the relevant articles. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand. Garr 03:42, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I would suggest a merge and redirect to Thanksgiving, but that article already has a section on Thanksgiving dinner which is far superior to this description, and there is nothing worth merging. Denni &#9775; 05:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Thanksgiving, unless this article is expanded to be better and more complete than the dinner section of that article. u p p l a n d 06:56, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Thanksgiving. Vegaswikian 07:12, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Thanksgiving. &mdash; RJH 18:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This dinner is also served on Christmas and sometimes Easter, so should have a separate article. GuardDog 01:29, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Garr. 64.194.44.220 15:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Foosher 03:27, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Thanksgiving. Edwardian 07:26, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Foogol 11:10, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Thanksgiving, noting that a bare "redirect" leaves the article in history and thus can be counted as a keep. - brenneman (t) (c)  11:42, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
