Cookbook:Banta Diet Cooking
Ok it's me! I was going to speedy this but I know others see things differently. This to me is not a recipe or part of the cookbook - as it stands it is an advertisment for a diet. -- Herby talk thyme 16:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Good call, this does look like an advertisement, and it serves no purpose. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 19:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think maybe we should have a qr-spam template for things like this (using Darklama's "7 days to doom" code). I wouldn't object to having pages kinda like this holding links to cookbook recipes that fit within certain diet regimes... on the contrary, I think that would be an excellent idea. I'm just popping in for now, but I'll fenagle (sp?) a template later, perhaps with a usertalk template asking "um, do you intend to work this in somehow, or are you just another spammer askin' for a block?" :) -- SB_Johnny | talk 19:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - "low carbohydrate diet book ever was written in 1863 by William Banting (1796-1878.)" is there an article on Wikipedia? or a site that has a copy of the book. It should be in the Public Domain this is not advertisement and does serve some purpose but probably not in the Cookbook.--Panic 21:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * William_Banting -- apparently an actual bloke :). -- SB_Johnny | talk 22:27, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - perhaps there should be a Wikipedia article on this bloke and his ideas, but it doesn't belong here in Cookbook. --Webaware 22:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - I was expecting some kind of recipe which was full of specific company products (like making a cookie only using Nestle ingredients or something) but this is worse - it's not even a recipe and links to 3rd party sites. Xania 22:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
