List of taco fillings

trivial, non-encyclopedaic, not notable; downright ridiculous and hoax-like, really. AFDed by a IP address, I'm completing the nom. Brianyoumans 20:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I have added List of burrito fillings to this AFD, as suggested below, and because someone had already AFDed it and not completed the process. I will notify voters about this, in case they want to reconsider, given that this is being added rather late in the game. In the mean time, please enjoy your flatbread-enclosed meal item with the filling of your choice! --Brianyoumans 23:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Please, let us use our imaginations!!! Fundamentaldan 20:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I vote delete on the burrito fillings as well. It is basically a list that serves no purpose. If there is an article named burrito and one named taco, the subject is more than adequately covered there. I do not see what a list of possible ingredients does for us that these articles do not.

Delete "What could be used to fill a taco is mostly limited to imagination of the preparer." An indiscriminate and OR list by its own admission. -- IslaySolomon | talk 20:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Possibly indiscriminate list. (For instance, the 7-Eleven by my workplace was selling chili dog taquitos today. Needless to say, I had two. Does that mean I can add "wieners" to the list now?) Also delete the associated list List of burrito fillings. Caknuck 21:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete completely unencyclopaedic. Same goes with burrito (as yummy as they may be, they gotta go). --Адам12901 ^Talk 21:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, actually it doesn't seem to be a hoax, the most questionable parts (insects, etc.) are properly sourced, too bad it's completely pointless listcruft. Krimpet 21:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Hoax-like? Really? I don't see how. But I don't feel that a separate article is warranted, this information belongs in taco (which is rather brief, IMHO, for such an important food. Pizza and Hamburger are much better examples. FrozenPurpleCube 22:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Or transwiky to Wikipedia Cookbook You can put anything on a taco, on a burrito, between two pieces of bread, on a cracker, in a pita, etc. Static Universe ^talk|edits 23:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per FrozenPurpleCube above. schi ^talk 23:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article is entirely unreferenced. The list appears to simply be unreferenced original research. Now if this were a referenced article about, say, the history of various fillings for tacos and similar foods and a discussion of different cultural tastes in fillings, that might be an interesting read if the article were properly referenced. This list, though, falls pretty far short of that. Dugwiki 23:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken a second look at these two lists, and I think on second thought what is actually needed is a merge of those parts that are referenced into a single List of ingredients in Mexican cuisine or something like that; it is silly to have them listed under a particular dish, like tacos or burritos, but there is some good info here. --Brianyoumans 00:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Nope, won't work, since tacos and burritos aren't just Mexican cuisine but like Pizzas are found in a variety of cultures. Better to just include the information in the main article on the food. That way you can include examples from all cultures. Besides, the Mexican cuisine article barely talks about the food at all, it's mostly just a directory. FrozenPurpleCube 00:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to taco. Unlikely to be a hoax but too trivial to be an independent article. Wooyi 00:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to taco per Wooyi. definitely made me laugh though. --CastAStone|^(talk) 00:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I would actually object to a merge to taco; just as hamburger makes no attempt to list all the possible toppings for a hamburger, I don't think taco should. On the other hand, I think a List of Mexican food ingredients or something like that might be useful. On the other hand, it may be better to just toss these articles and start anew. --Brianyoumans 00:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - A look at hamburger does, however, several paragraphs that describe Hamburgers as they are served around the world, in a fashion that is not completely different from this list, the primary difference being that it's written in a paragraph style. Which is exactly how I'd prefer this information to be merged into taco or the other article into burrito. FrozenPurpleCube 01:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions. -- SkierRMH 01:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yum - And merge as above. -- Bpmullins | Talk 03:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Or else Merge back to the Taco and Burrito articles, which is where the List of burrito fillings originally started. The lists are definately not hoaxes, and I deeply resent that description. Both lists include ingredients that you'll often find for tacos and burritos when dining in Mexican restaurants.

I looked at the edits of the IP that nominated these articles (82.152.127.69 (talk · contribs)), and they seemed to trying to violate WP:POINT, because they also put the AFD and hoax tags on such non-hoaxes as Grupo Sanborns and Brighton Park, Chicago (while failing to follow through on any of the AFD nominations.

- - - Well, perhaps it is kind of like the monkey throwing darts at the stock market listings; they are bound to hit a few winners! :-) --Brianyoumans 19:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep insects as topings is worthy of its own article. SakotGrimshine 21:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge because as a cook I would like to have a reference source to get a fresh idea to the same old boring stuff I would usually use. We have reciepes in Wikipedia. Are all the receipes pages being deleted? Perhaps they could be renamed in the genra of receipies. The pages for both taco and burrito should be worked on to show regional preference or historic reference as to when and where particular contents apeared in the food. --al95521 23:06, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge if more can be said about them within the context of their respective articles - no need for separate lists. I believe recipes have their own Wiki somewhere? It's not this one. GassyGuy 14:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep this as a seperate list please it should not be merged since it is such a long list yuckfoo 21:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete both Both lists are unsourced OR and lacking practical inclusion criteria are indiscriminant in scope. Eluchil404 09:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per Blank Verse. Mathmo ^Talk 13:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This reminds me of a long running joke by Jim Gaffigan. The list itself is not really necessary, you can fill a taco (or a burrito, or a sandwich, et cetera) with just about anything I suppose. (jarbarf) 18:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- And it gets even awesomer! Caknuck 03:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
