Leek soup

Where there are leeks there is leek soup. This is an unremarkable soup, surely not notable. It should be transwikied to Wiktionary and removed from Wikipedia. It is a dicdef. Anyone creating a soup out of salt, water and leeks with no added ingredients will find they have salty leeky water, too, rather than a pleasant soup.

Merge with Leek for now (probably a new bullet point under to existing three in cuisine will do). There probably is enough references to leek soup out there for an article if anyone wants to write one, but a simple recipe isn't enough to warrant a separate article. (Might be a case for an article on Leek recipes though.) Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and merge, as above — Unless anyone wishes to take on the expansion of this subject with reliable sources, then I suggest deletion and merging with Leek until someone comes along and does a better job. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 15:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - With Leek, should be noted there, however specific article, unless it's expanded, isn't necessary. Neuro√Logic 15:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article needs work. But leek soup is notable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment why would it ever be transwikied to wikitionary? Last I checked, wikitionary was not a recipe book. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 07:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It can be transwikied to wikibooks, which does have a recipe book. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep keep and expand, from the 100s of culinary sources available. Dealing with the historical and practical aspects of he subject, articles of any common food can be made encyclopedic. DGG (talk) 09:32, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Whether the soup is pleasant or not is not for Wikipedia to decide. Being pleasant is not a requirement for articles on soups. Fg2 (talk) 11:15, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
