The given reference does not say that this is a pastry dough, and I do not see how the dough itself could be notable. GTrang (talk) 06:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment. This page (or Qataef) IMHO should become a disambiguation, as there are gazillions of spelling and recipe variations, see the Talk:Kadayif. That said, preserve the talk page in any outcome, as it contains collective wisdom. Викидим (talk) 06:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy keep I have no idea why the nominator ignored the discussions and the various scholarly sources that have been cited there. If anything, it's other the articles that should be merged into this one (see discussion). M.Bitton (talk) 12:38, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy keep as this is all currently under discussion on the article's talk page, and, given how long-time an editor the nominator is, I'm surprised that the nomination gives the impression of a lack of WP:BEFORE. A topic's notability isn't determined solely by the references in the article but by whether suitable coverages exists anywhere. Nor is the nominator's apparent prejudice regarding the possibility that doughs could be notable sufficient grounds for deletion. In regard to that: Chinese flaky pastry, choux pastry, filo, puff pastry, even graham cracker crust are doughs with articles and are among those included in Category:Doughs. Which I guess this article should also be. Largoplazo (talk) 13:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink and Middle East. Shellwood (talk) 13:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy merge with Kadayif (pastry). Per the talk discussion, these pages should be consolidated in some way and the sources used here certainly do not justify this one-sentence article to be separate from the others. Reywas92Talk 15:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- That will be like merging Filo pastry into Baklava. As for the "one-sentence", the only reason it hasn't been expanded yet is because we're still discussing the possible alternatives. M.Bitton (talk) 18:51, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural close - along the lines of the !votes above, there's an ongoing discussion on the talk page about several different articles about related/similar dishes. It's far from clear what will be merged and what will be kept separate, although most likely all of the pages in discussion will continue to exist at least as redirects or disambiguation pages. This AfD shortcircuits that discussion (which also affects other pages) and does not help reach a resolution to the problem of the various similarly-named dishes. signed, Rosguill talk 16:31, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
