Tartare

Delete dicdef —Wahoofive | Talk 21:43, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

keep real things. Also this has potential for expansion to cover preparation, history, and possible risks of parasitic infection. Failing that, merge somewhere. Kappa 22:09, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, this article has encyclopedic potential. However, it amounts to just a hair more than a dicdef at the moment, so i will stubbify it. Halidecyphon (talk) 22:11, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, many if not most foods are encyclopedic. Tag for expansion. Meelar (talk) 22:13, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: this is not a food, just a preparation technique. There is an article on Steak tartare. —Wahoofive | Talk 22:31, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - I think it would be possible to write an encyclopedic article on the cooking technique; indeed, if anything, I would say that the various dishes should redirect there. I'm not a cooking expert, but that organization makes more sense to me than having numerous duplicate articles. Alternatively, we could redirect other tartares to steak tartare and include that it's performed on other meats there, but I prefer the first option. Meelar (talk) 23:24, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Merge with Steak tartare (very little new info) --AYArktos 22:42, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge per Ayarkthos. Radiant _* 08:45, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I will work on expanding this tomorrow. Different types of foods are prepared tartare including steak but originally started with horsemeat. Capitalistroadster 10:24, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I have now expanded the article adding the widely accepted history based on use by the Mongols and gradual adoption by Germans where ground beef patties also became known as hamburg steak which became hamburgers in the US. No change in vote from Keep. Capitalistroadster 09:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep rewrite. Good job Capitalistroadster! Dave the Red (talk) 19:37, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
