• Merge to Jewish cuisine. IZAK 03:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • The article has no sources. Only sourced facts should be merged. With no sources ... that is nothing to merge. GRBerry 03:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC) A source has been added. GRBerry 16:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and put sources.--יודל 12:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - I visited this AfD with the full intention of voting delete, until I read the NYTimes reference. I would suggest moving to Appetizing store, however - it smacks less of dicdef that way.--DLand^TALK 13:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

• Second move to Appetizing store, in addition to my above keep. --Dhartung | Talk 03:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• transwiki Even if this is a real term and not a neologism, it belongs on Wikitionary. Mbisanz 01:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I added a second reference from the NYT. Agree that the article should be moved to 'Appetizing store.' I'm not aware of policy on what constitutes a dictionary definition. EdJohnston 01:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete besides that this is not a dictionary, there is little on the topic that is not OR. It does not even belong to "Jewish cuisine" because it was more of a New York City phenomena. It really belong to "New York Cuisine" or as a section on an article on NYC smoked salmon--Jayrav 17:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC). Look at New York Cuisine, there is a section on Eastern European Jewish cuisine (of NY) that mentions the old time deli and bagel store. It belongs as 2 lines at that point with the references. --Jayrav 17:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC) Also most were not specifically kosher- the term is still used in NYC to refer to the section of a large supermarket called the "appetizing dept" that sells anything from fish smokehouses including crab, shrimp, or even Italian cheeses. --Jayrav 17:33, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
