Thayir sadam
Made me hungry, yes, but not encyclopedic per WP:NOT. Send to wikibooks. brenneman (t) (c) 08:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I checked the links to this article, and there are one or two relevant ones.  It's one food that is used as a temple offering, it's linked from rasam, and it's on the list of delicacies.  The recipe might be moved to a suitable part of wikibooks, but this would still be a useful (albeit brief) article on an important item of South Indian cuisine not generally known outside the country. Let it continue to grow. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per Tony Sidaway. The nom has not explained why this differs from the other 131 articles in Category:Indian cuisine. Furthermore, we need to make greater efforts to counter the bias against other cultures and cuisines. This article is a step in that direction and the editors who contributed this info should be thanked, not censured. -- JJay 01:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki and delete. Stifle 03:16, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: it is a food item, which is prepared in millions of households of South India every day - would someone recommend deleting an item like Bread? --Bhadani 11:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I've removed the "preparation" section per WP:NOT a cookbook, and the "serving suggestions" as uncited at best and pure POV at worst. - brenneman (t) (c)  11:32, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do the same for French fries, Fried chicken and the 100s of other articles that have preparation sections, which seems to be standard practice for American food articles. -- JJay 11:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - please expand as it's difficult to tell what this food is, exactly. Badagnani 11:49, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
