Pecan pie

Recipe. Yum. Nothing here that wouldn't be out of place in a Cookbook, so this should be moved there. —Korath (Talk) 13:37, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC) Keep as rewritten. —Korath (Talk) 04:11, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

• Stick a {{recipe}} on it, then. Uncle G 18:26, 2005 Mar 6 (UTC)
  • Well, I thought it conceivable (though unlikely) that someone might want to save it, as has happened. —Korath (Talk) 04:11, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
    • Which can happen equally as well when one sticks {{recipe}} {{move to Wikibooks Cookbook}} on an article. See the second sentence of the notice. Uncle G 00:10, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
• Keep, Clean up and Expand. Wikipedia has articles on Apple pie and Pumpkin pie and many other pies. DaveTheRed 21:46, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I removed the recipe-like sentences of the article to make it look more like our other pie articles. DaveTheRed 21:52, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Pecan pie is just as delicious and notable as pumpkin pie. Kappa 22:37, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Pecan pie is culturally important. It is emblematic of Southern cuisine much as Apple pie is emblematic of American home cooking as a whole. Pecan pie is interesting as an example of a food that is complex and luxurious, yet also considered to be a homey "comfort food" like grits or rice pudding. When I can find some quotations illustrating this I'll add them to the article. This is not a cookbook recipe, it is a short article about a characteristic American food.

• Keep. DaveTheRed and Dpbsmith has done a good job. Its now a good little article. Capitalistroadster 08:50, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Seems keep-worthy now, but what's with the quotes on there? Radiant! 11:07, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Illustrative of culture importance and status as a special-occasion/holiday dish. A little out of balance with the rest of the article, hope rest of article will be expanded, but a start for now. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:29, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A valid article, not a recipe at all. And now I'm craving pecan pie. — Gwalla | Talk 02:27, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - delete this? Like its subject, it's a tasty and beautiful thing, nearly feature-worthy. Jgm 04:49, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - David Gerard 10:21, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
