Trivial variant of Cheesecake. No information worth merging into main cheesecake page DeputyBeagle (talk) 20:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Doesn't even sound like it'd taste good. Oh, but also, yeah, trivial as hell. Not even a paragraph. AdoTang (talk) 21:51, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - you know you're in trouble when this is the first search result in Google Books. Seriously, though, I'm not finding anything besides recipes and other forms of trivial coverage. Without anything substantial, this is a clear WP:GNG fail. (I also concur with AdoTang with regards to the lack of culinary merit of this putative delicacy.) I wouldn't object to a redirect to Cheesecake, if only to keep from breaking links. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:50, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The proper thing to do is to just follow the merge, which was voted for and make a redirect... even if there is minimal information to merge. UserTwoSix (talk) 10:43, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm not sure I see the point in redirecting. The page gets very little views, and there does not seem to be any links beyond the categories box. I don't think anything would be lost if there was no redirect DeputyBeagle (talk) 13:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I agree with UserTwoSix (I think) that the technical procedure here should be to "merge" Pineapple cheesecake into Cheesecake by turning the former into a redirect to the latter and adding "all useful information" from the former to the latter—and if you find that there is no useful information during the merge (as the nom did here) then simply redirect without comment. But I don't know how much value the redirect would have—wouldn't be an issue but doesn't seem essential either—so I'll add a technical support delete/redirect/merge, whatever helps to get the job done. — Bilorv (talk) 11:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/Redirect to Cheesecake - I don't personally think it would make a particularly useful redirect, but as Redirects are cheap, I wouldn't object to it becoming one. A merge would be inappropriate as there is no actual reliably sourced content to merge - the only references being used currently are just recipes, and I can find no additional coverage outside of more recipes upon searching.

• Surely any edible fruit can be used in the production of cheesecake? Is there anything to suggest that pineapple in particular has any cultural distinction anywhere over any other fruit? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect I supported the merge but redirecting would be better since there isn't anything reliably sourced that we can merge. New content can be added to directly the cheesecake article. It's a major cultural variation cheesecake all'ananas for Italian ricotta cheesecake like strawberry cheesecake is for New York cheesecake. Spudlace (talk) 00:24, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete All the sources are food blogs, and those aren't RSs. I'm not seeing this article serving any purpose than to combine the word pineapple with cheesecake which is OR. I consider myself a major foodie and would 100% eat this, but it's failing all the WP standards. Bon appetit, Estheim (talk) 16:53, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Don't you think that this might overdo the sweetness a little? I like cheesecake but if it has fruit on it then I would prefer something a bit more tart than pineapple. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:50, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Phil BridgerDepends on the sweetness of the cake and the acidity of the fruit. Fruit preserves are pretty common for dessert making too, and sweetness/tartness can be adjusted accordingly. I don't think I'd say no to any decent cheesecake, even if it were some oddball thing like tomato or dragonfruit. Estheim (talk) 01:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete There is nothing to be merged. This article was created by someone who was banned for being part of a spam ring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/IamKhandelwal Are the websites added by him owned by someone who paid them to do that? Dream Focus 04:19, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I didn't realize IamKhandelwal had been banned. Can't these then be speedied? Spudlace (talk) 19:35, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/IamKhandelwal some were tagged as being from an editor who received undisclosed payment for making them. But that doesn't always mean the articles don't deserve to remain, some may still pass the general notability guidelines. Dream Focus 21:38, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
