Types of pocket sandwich

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Created in response to this CfD, unverifiable, no inbound links, no edits since creation, no page for pocket sandwich (nor have I ever heard the term before), is unencycolpaedia as it can at best be a very short list and at worst be filled with linkspam for products Witty lama 00:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not because pocket sandwiches don't exist (pita bread covers what I know of as a pocket sandwich), but because this is very broad and poorly-defined. It also doesn't have any references, so it basically relies on the author's original research of what constitutes a pocket sandwich. Leebo T / C  00:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename the article to Pocket sandwich with a redirect. I found the term being used by several nutrition and cooking websites.--Ng.j 15:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename per Ng.j, and label as a disambiguation. Most often applied to pitas but lots of e.g. microwave food falls under this name. --Dhartung | Talk 18:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep It explains what a "pocket sandwich" is, but the definition is hard to understand. But it does provide a list, but there is no current entry for "pocket sandwich". A• •F•O•X   ¡u6is  ''April Fool's Day 2OO7 19:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is only one sentence explaining, along with a list of things that maybe - maybe - can be called a "pocket sandwich", and likewise contains things that aren't sandwiches unto themselves - they're things you put into a sandwich, and in one case (Al pastor), is not even a sandwich, but a method of cooking meat.  --Dennisthe2 21:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Tacos al Pastor is a better link to the sandwich made with meat cooked by the Al pastor method. Your argument for removing sandwich examples because they are ingredients is illogical.  "Peanut Butter and Jelly" is a kind of sandwich.  This is known as Synecdoche, where a part becomes used to describe the whole in popular useage.  I have updated the article to reflect this.

 * Comment - I trimmed out the cruft that aren't sandwiches as my primary username. --Dennisthe2 21:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * delete article has no real content. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 04:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per Ng.j --Matthew UND (talk) 07:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be all for a keep and rename, but you think we can clean it up to be at least a little encyclopedic? --Dennisthe2 19:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup; also rename to Pocket sandwich. I can imagine this stub being expanded to a good article on the subject. Especially after seeing over 54K ghits for "pocket sandwiches", including one by the US Army (that one even has free use pictures.)

 * I'll go ahead and move it to Pocket sandwich then. Witty lama 23:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
