Keep. Well referenced article with invalid deletion rationale. There is no "discussion", just an IP (which I assume to be you) noting your opinion on the talk page.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the thing though: all those articles point to one restaurant that serves the dish and that restaurant no longer exists. You can't buy the ingredients at a market nor can you walk into any restaurant and ask them to prepare the off-menu item. It may be well-referenced, but so is every other dish in that article and I don't feel it to be completely necessary to have every dish in the articles to have an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adgggadggg (talk • contribs) 19:08, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are myriad regional food dishes that no longer exist, which what makes including them in an encyclopedia even more of a necessity. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:23, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

How about just editing it to say that it used to be commonly found in Singapore?Adgggadggg (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:NTEMP, notability does not expire. In any case, the topic is wider than Singaporean cuisine as the dish is eaten in other countries such as Vietnam. And then there's the basic anatomical and veterinary aspects of the topic - see Swine in the Laboratory, for example. Andrew D. (talk) 22:46, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - we have a whole list of weird but notable food articles at Wikipedia:Unusual_articles#Food. This seems well-referenced, like sambong or balut. Bearian (talk) 00:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After some digging around, I found out what this dish was. Nobody refers to it as "pig's fallopian tubes" but it is indeed still served in some places in Singapore. It's known as Kway Chap, and it pretty much consists of pig offals, including fallopian tubes, and rice noodle rolls. Would it be more appropriate then to change the name? I could list some references, but those are endless.Adgggadggg (talk) 12:45, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
