Misnamed or inappropriate?[edit]

Not to be a jerk but it is not clear that this article is appropriate as is. Mind you, it's neat to see an article about something from my childhood.

What is really the topic here? In other words, the word "Chifa" does not by itself justify an article (Wikipedia is not a dictionary). There has to be a unique topic.

Is the article about the restaurants? It is not really clear that the businesses, in and of themselves, deserve a unique article. There are Chinese restaurants all over the world.

Is it about the Peruvian-Cantonese cuisine? That seems more worthwhile as far as an article. However the stub does not seem to be indicating that is really the focus. Also, can one say that Peruvian-Cantonese is unique enough that it merits a separate discussion from Cantonese cuisine? Not sure but unless somebody can offer some meaningful distinction then this should probably be dumped.

The other obvious question is whether it is more appropriate to title the article "Chifa" or "Peruvian-Cantonese cuisine". Although I hate to say it, Chifa is a very colloquial expression in Peru (and it is not really known outside Peru). It seems more appropriate to use Peruvian-Cantonese and mention Chifa as a colloquial name (and, of course, have a redirect for Chifa).

Specifically Peruvian?[edit]

I know from my personal experience in Ecuador that Chifas are quite popular there as well. Are they specific to Peru in origin or are they a more general, South American-Cantonese phenomena? --Eloi 18:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is "Airport"?[edit]

The term directs to the wiki page about Airports. Is this seriously a dish? 141.156.106.2 (talk) 19:25, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't know if it qualifies as a dish, but it is the term used to bundle all the leftovers and serve them. PuercoPop (talk) 06:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably their local version of chop suey. You can find the recipe online.[1] --Voidvector (talk) 17:02, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"unhealthy or unsavory methods"[edit]

There's no reference for this claim, which was added in 2008 - is there any factual basis, or is it merely stereotype? 72.83.40.237 (talk) 07:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
