 * Weak keep It does have some coverage outside of recipes. If it was known where the name came from, I'd suggest a merge to Watergate Hotel or Watergate scandal but it's not known for sure. (It should be noted that while there are independent sources, e.g. the Mahoney article, a lot of publications reference Wikipedia in discussing the salad, so care should be taken with references.)

 * I wonder if it could be merged into Ambrosia salad as a variation? valereee (talk) 11:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep or merge - It's a real thing, and it's well-documented by soucres, but it's also a variety of ambrosia. Bearian (talk) 01:20, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep It seems to have been a real salad. The page is sourced.  People truly are said ot have eaten this kind of thing in the Nixon administration.  O looked at Berian's suggestion, he's usually ontarget, but it does seem different form ambrosia salad.  What I do not recommend is actually eating this sweet, green glop.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
