Pizza
This seems like a too narrow theme subject, and the offered quotes seem highly suspect and are probably not genuine. But this page did not seem to meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion. ~ UDScott 18:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (five votes to delete, no registered dissent). —LrdChaos (talk) 20:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless valid, sourced quotes replace the probably bogus quotes. ~ UDScott 18:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Concur with UDScott. Most foods couldn't support a theme quote article, but pizza may be the exception. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless replaced with valid sourced quotes in proper format. --Ubiquity 03:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Could a broader topic be set up, like "Junk Food" or something along those lines? There may not be a ton of pizza quotes, but I can think of a couple, especially if you think of "beer and pizza" or other combinations with it. --Angel 23:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a bad idea, but the term "junk food" may be too subjective. (See Junk food.) If we use this or come up with an alternative term, whatever we use could serve equally as a subcategory of Category:Foods (or something similar). I suppose the deciding factor might be how many properly sourced quotes we can expect on any of the related subjects. (I.e., if we have only a few over the whole spectrum, one broad article with subtopics may suffice; if we expect lots of sourced quotes, we might justify separate articles collected in categories and/or subcategories.) It's usually best to start broad and get more specific as the quotes increase, but both have been done here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 05:49, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. We kept Lasagna, earlier, so there's precedent for single-food theme articles, but unlike that case, this page is irredeemably banal, not to mention unsourced.  There are unquestionably notable people who have said quotable things about pizza -- where are they?  121a0012 06:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: So, are you saying that if this page gets deleted, and someone else creates a page of memorable, sourced quotes from notable people, that one would be kept? Just looking for clarity, thanks in advance . --Angel 19:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
