This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Food and drink. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Food and drink|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Food and drink. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Food and drink

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was procedural close‎ For whatever reason, the nominator had issues completing this nomination and ended up starting the identical Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Balushahi (Bihari cuisine) (2nd nomination). It is that nomination that the AfD tag on the article points to and has remained listed, and where the discussion will ultimately continue.

I’m nominating this article for deletion because the topic is already covered at Balushahi, which includes the same basic information. This article mainly repeats that content with a focus on Bihar, but it doesn’t provide enough unique or region-specific details to justify a separate page.

The writing also reads like it was generated using an AI tool, with a promotional tone and no strong sources. It could mislead readers into thinking this is a different topic when it’s really not.

Any useful content can be merged into the main article, but as it stands, this page isn’t needed on its own. Jesus isGreat7 ☾⋆ | Ping Me 18:00, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, i was unable to find any significant sources about this show except profiles. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 18:36, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Farkash, Michael (1999-11-01). "Gordon Elliott's Door Knock Dinners". The Hollywood Reporter. Vol. 360, no. 13. p. 14. ProQuest 2467946432.

      The review notes: "Imagine a knock on the door. A TV crew shoves cameras in your face, and a prominent French chef rummages through your shelves to assemble a gourmet meal. Sounds a bit intrusive, right? But that's the trade off of free eats. The premise of "Gordon Elliott's Door Knock Dinners" seems like a tasty idea ripe for laughs, but the reality falters, coming off as a dis-appointing, disjointed presenta-tion. Elliott tries very, very hard, but he substitutes high energy for effective humor and seems har-ried. Better jokes or even more sarcastic gibes are needed to spice up the show. Elliott might find the right recipe later; he has a solid track record as a reporter."

    2. Napolitano, Chris (1999-11-11). "Door Knock Dinners". Rolling Stone. No. 825. EBSCOhost 2429911. ProQuest 2629592737.

      The review notes: "A more apt title for Gordon Elliott's Door Knock Dinners might be 101 Meals With a Ham. But no matter what you call it, this brash new show is the best dinner theater on the tube.The show is built around a simple premise - and one that New Yorkers will find familiar. At one time, Elliott barged his way into homes for Fox's Good Day New York. On Door Knock Dinners, he's still the uninvited guest, but this time he brings along a professional chef whose job it is to cook and serve a gourmet meal from whatever is found in the randomly selected home. It's like Cops with food - and Elliott is the battering ram. Everyone is in on the joke except for the uneasy hosts. Fast camera-work captures their reactions to Elliott, who delivers vaguely sinister remarks a la The Cat in the Hat. ... Oh, and there's the food. The recipes are deceptively simple - a pasta with artichoke hearts, Camembert and peas, for example, or chicken fillets with a vegetable medley - but clearly, the entree is showmanship. The mix of singing waiters, an accordion player and a tuxedoed Frenchy with a fake mustache results in a boisterous bouillabaisse that is sure to take the Food Network out of the kitchen and into the living room."

    3. Elber, Lynn (1999-12-10). "When a gourmet dinner comes to you". Chicago Tribune. Associated Press. ProQuest 418936800. Archived from the original on 2025-06-14. Retrieved 2025-06-14 – via Newspapers.com.

      The review notes: "Gordon Elliott, a towering Australian with a chef, camera crew and disarming wit in tow as he invades American kitchens with the aim of providing a good meal and gentle tweaking for "Gordon Elliott's Door Knock Dinners." ... With Elliott orchestrating the controlled madness, it's refreshingly quirky. ... Even Elliott's best shots are affable, not gruff. ... With its homespun sweetness, "Door Knock Dinners" is an antidote to the extensive menu of shows in which average Americans are exploited as caricatures (Jerry Springer, are you still out there?) or as game pieces in the "Greed" follies. ... Elliott has wrapped the first 21 "Door Knock Dinners" episodes for Food Network and was preparing to fly off to Sydney for work on a series pilot that would take his gatecrasher technique to other countries."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Door Knock Dinners to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

If one checks Google News and other news, the company cannot be named notable. Just random here and there blogs, mentions, wp:churnalism, newswire releases, WOW award, RMAI Flame award. The previous discussion was not representative and resulted in no consensus. Many of the sources have been already removed as spam. NiftyyyNofteeeee (talk) 10:00, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – Of the references for DestaGlobal, Startup Success Stories India, Techcircle, Business Standard India, The Hindu Business Line (partially neutral), InterCon Dubai (YouTube), EVENTFAQS Media, Rural Marketing, and Digital Empowerment Foundation are focused on DestaGlobal’s success, awards, and positive impact. Most of these are based on the company’s claims without independent verification. The National and The Hindu are references that adhere to journalistic standards, providing neutral information about DestaGlobal’s work, but they lack detailed information. Hence, they are not sufficient to strongly support the claims. Some people may have different opinions about these two sources.-SachinSwami (talk) 7:01, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. plicit 14:11, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article has existed for over 20 years and does not have any citations that are not primary sources (that is, from Anchor Hocking, the company that makes Fire-King branded glass products). The lack of citations has been noted before. The claims made on this page may be true. But citations have not surfaced. For those that wish to keep, perhaps citations can be dug up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louiemantia (talkcontribs) 08:28, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article, like the article for Fire-King, does not have many citations, and the citation needed tags are everywhere, making it clear that the lack of citations has been known. Citations have not surfaced. For those that wish to keep this page, perhaps citations can be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louiemantia (talkcontribs) 08:36, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article appears to be promotional in nature, focusing exclusively on a specific master's program without providing evidence of any notability. Even basic online research shows no indications of academic recognition, such as rankings or third-party evaluations. Chiserc (talk) 14:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
