[edit] Mangalore Bajji

• Keep, real class of food. Kappa 16:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• no doubt but I see little encyclopedic content here. Weak delete if kept remove the recipe aspects. DES ^(talk) 17:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. encyclopedic content for me is, "what the hell is this?" if it's a word, it goes in a dictionary. if it's a person, place or thing, it goes in an encyclopedia. the content isnt a recipe, because theres no way you could read it, go to the supermarket, go to the kitchen, and make it. besides, claiming "non-encyclopedic content" is pretty similar to "doesn't belong in an encyclopedic," which is redundant following a delete vote.

• Keep. If Pizza and Idli can have articles, why not this ? Tintin 22:30, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• The only indication of notability for this food is that it's popular in a province within India that according to its Wikipedia page doesn't have a lot of English speakers. Google search shows 640 hits, mostly South Indian recipe sites. Current article content is mostly what it's made of, which goes against WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Precedent with popular food types has been that we keep articles only if expanded with substantial encyclopedic importance, beyond what can be said about any food that's popular with some people somewhere. Weak delete unless a lot more importance is shown. Barno 04:19, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Google results are not a definitive result for developing countries. Indian food varies from region to region BTW. There's no such thing as "Indian food" User:Nichalp/sg 13:28, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Maybe it can be expanded in areas of Types of Mangalore bajji and specific regions where the snack is more popular. Jay 12:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep – regional food, notable. User:Nichalp/sg 13:28, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, not just a recipe. ··gracefool |☺ 15:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
