Draft talk:Insalata Pomodoro

sources[edit]

Hey, @Skylynx2! This dish may very well be notable, but the sources you've provided don't show it. The first three seem to be simply discussions of the history of tomatoes in Italy, and the fourth seems to mention 'insalata di pomodoro' only once. We need to see multiple instances of WP:significant coverage of the salad itself. Valereee (talk) 14:45, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Valereee,

I’m having some difficulty in figuring out what I’m doing incorrectly. Does the problem lie in the wording? The dish itself is of a variety that already have wiki pages. I’m also looking at similar salads from other cultures and none really provide a written historical source.

thanks,

Hey, @Skylynx2! The problem is that we need to see sources that discuss the salad itself at some length. The current sources seem to be simply discussions of the history of tomatoes, some including a bare mention of the salad. We need someone discussing the salad.

Hi again Valereee,

I had also tried using recipes from both online and published materis. Those sources are not acceptable either? 107.119.53.113 (talk) 21:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, unfortunately just recipes aren't enough. If a reliable-source cookbook (that is, not something self-published) discusses the dish in a couple of paragraphs before providing the recipe, that would be significant coverage. If you find hundreds of recipes online for a particular dish, it's an indicator that there probably has been significant coverage somewhere, and that we should keep looking. But I'm not even seeing that. (Few recipes doesn't mean the dish definitely is not notable, possibly just that the dish doesn't actually need a recipe because it's so simple, which this one probably is, but we still need to see it covered somewhere.)
