Development of US Cheese in Asian countries

The article has multiple issues and is not written keeping wikipedia manual of style in view and it can be entirely rewritten and merged with another article American cheese. ⚕ Dr. ANK (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:12, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep is a mild preference here.The current state of the article is certainly as horrible as cheese, but that's a cleanup matter, not a deletion one. Your proposal for it to be merged is a good idea, however I feel that there is enough useful content (that needs a major rewrite, though) to warrant a separate page. Merging would swamp the content in this case. American cheese in Asia is a growing topic, with many news items pertaining to it, such as:

Asia Pizza Demand Boosts U.S. Cheese Exports, Kraft’s Costs, U.S. Cheese Industry Booming Thanks to Asian Craving for Pizza and Cheeseburgers, Global Cheese Consumption to Reach 21 Million Metric Tons by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Although, as overseas cheese consumption is not just limited to Asia, maybe we could include content related to cheese development/consumption in other parts of the world, such as Europe or Oceania, and rename the article to Development of American cheese in overseas industries?

Delete. The current text and the title are equally bad. It's better to start afresh. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:17, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete With a picture already nominated as possible copyvio, I think this article is beyond rescue. Beside that, the article reads as cheese promotion. The Banner _talk 16:07, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- And a second picture nominated for deletion as possible copyvio. It doesn't make the article more reliable when the author is claiming pictures as own work, while it is taken from elsewhere. Even when it is decided it is not a copyright violation. The Banner _talk 16:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unrescuable article with a horrific title that no one in their right mind would search for... maybe it was a joke article? Lukeno94 (talk) 16:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Reads like somebody's school paper converted into a WP article, and without specific referencing it's likely that the piece is laced with OR and WP:SYNTHESIS. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:07, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Much of the article reads like original research and synthesis. If anything, a brief mention of the development of US cheese in Asian countries could be added into the American Cheese article or related cheese article, but a whole article on this?

Hold. Article is part of the Wikimedia Hong Kong education program; would appreciate if this AfD can be put on hold until after New Year.

Surely part of any education programme should be to teach that Wikipedia has inclusion standards that apply whoever creates an article. Our primary task here is to build an encyclopedia, not to provide students with easy credits. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:03, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I hope the editor also picks up the lessons over copyright and copyright violations.The Banner _talk 23:41, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Some of the information could be folded into the American cheese article, but it's a pretty bad article as it now stands, and reads more like something written by the American cheese industry. 216.93.234.239 (talk) 23:20, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
