Yukon pizza

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

(Not quite blatant) hoax. No reference to "Yukon pizza" online in the sense of a flavor of pizza. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 03:39, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as hoax. The last sentence "In Hawaii, however, the Yukon pizza has been criticized as a neocolonial appropriation of Hawaiian culture." seems blatant enough to me. Barring that, delete as whatever speed seems appropriate. Nice try with the fake refs, though. Hairhorn (talk) 04:34, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - the ref is apparently a real dead link taken from the associated article (apparently authentic - much older and once had more sources) Hawaiian pizza. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 05:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I noticed that afterwards. Reusing a dead ref from another article just reinforces the idea that it's a hoax, though. Hairhorn (talk) 05:37, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but, playing the devil's advocate here, it seems that the creator of this page copied the format of Hawaiian pizza - the ref may have been copied accidentally along with it. To me, the greatest indication that this is a hoax is that an obscure variety of pizza should be important in both Hawaii and Lithuania... Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 05:43, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * ? The (dead) reference is copied, then the title of the reference is changed. I don't see much good faith in there. Hairhorn (talk) 14:56, 7 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as recipe for non-notable foodstuff. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:06, 7 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable flavor (may be local) that doesn't serve a purpose on an encyclopedia. Vacation9 (talk) 17:05, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

"It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales."
 * Delete As non-notable. I didn't find any G-news hits other than references to pizza places in the Yukon or with Yukon somewhere in their company name. Nothing about a type of pizza. Geoff  Who, me?  23:56, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. Also states to be the most popular in my country (with not working reference) and I never heard about it. --Bearas (talk) 06:29, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Having examined the Hairhorn's evidence above, more carefully, I am nominating this for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax . I am presenting his argument here more clearly, since several of the above editors did not seem to notice that his article is a hoax.
 * Here is the original text from article Hawaiian pizza:

"It is the most popular pizza in Lithuania, accounting for 15% of pizza sales."
 * And here is the text from Yukon pizza:

 * By the way, the original authentic link at Hawaiian pizza, now a deadlink, has been fixed. As expected, the article refers to Hawaiian pizza in Australia, not Yukon pizza in Lithuania. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 05:47, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems I've misunderstood the definition of a blatant hoax. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 12:48, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * For me, the blatant part comes from the silly quote I already gave above about "neocolonial appropriation of Hawaiian culture"; Hawaiian pizza has nothing to do with Hawaiian culture; it's not even from Hawaii. See "Do Hawaiians Eat Hawaiian Pizza?" Combined with zero relevant Google hits, that's easily enough for speedy. Hairhorn (talk) 15:22, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per arguments made above. The article appears to be a hoax. --Odie5533 (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
