The result was merge to Cuisine of the Midwestern United States. Consensus is fairly clear that the article should is not suitable and should be merged, but as an aside, however, the current article does not even claim that this is a significant feature of midwestern cuisine, it claims that it's a thing in "small rural German-American communities". This is pretty specific and if we can find a place to mention this in the target article it should be given due weight (i.e. very little coverage). I would also suggest that the topic could be given more in-depth coverage in a more suitable article such as German American#Culture perhaps. This page should be redirected to any article that ends up covering the topic more than the current target can. Swarm ♠ 20:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

- Comment There's some coverage in local press (e.g.[1][2][3]) and I found a mention in a thesis[4] but from what I can see, it's not really enough to be separately notable. Could it be merged somewhere, maybe Cuisine of the Midwestern United States? Colapeninsula (talk) 09:47, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- Merge to Cuisine of the Midwestern United States. I had looked into this before, and after further source searches, does not appear to have received enough coverage for a standalone article. A merge is a functional WP:ATD-M that would enhance the merge target article. North America1000 10:28, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'd support Merge to Cuisine of the Midwestern United States. It does seem to be a thing in certain areas. valereee (talk) 11:26, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

- Also agree with a Merge to Cuisine of the Midwestern United States. Sandstein 13:26, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think that a merge to Cuisine of the Midwestern United States is appropriate, and I think that it is not easily feasible. The Cuisine article is about dishes, this article is about an event. That some type of food is the subject of the event can not equate it to a dish or a type of cuisine. It is also not clear where this should be added at the cuisine article. Kraxler (talk) 14:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
