Duck's head[edit]
( )
- ... that duck's head, which can be taken with beer, is considered to be a healthy food?

Interesting. New knowledge for me. All criterias passed as well. --Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 16:15, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Article is not long enough. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:03, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- It was long enough... If you check the history. Now good to go, I hope. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 03:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm afraid not. The "is written to be" phrase requires copyediting—I endorsed the previous removal more because I can't tell what's being claimed than any issues with the foreign-language source, which I can't read or judge. I hadn't realized that it was also in the intro, which exactly duplicates a fair amount of the body text. The article reads like a stub, with too little information, and even at 1515 prose characters (which was the size before the removal), I think it's too short and with insufficient information to qualify.

- I've used just about everything that's available online... Trust me, 1515 chars on this topic is already very difficult to produce. Readers looking at this article would definitely find more information that on any other website/book on the web. So there. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 04:05, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Then maybe the article will have to remain a stub, and not eligible for DYK. There are plenty of articles in that state: perfectly normal, if there isn't enough information out there. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Taking clue from Yunshui in a similar nom: There is enough coverage in the article... Considering that this is an article of relatively low importance, this article, when at more than 1500 characters, passes as a start class article. This is a fairly comprehensive article about a Chinese snack, and passes the other DYK criteria (except for length, which I will fix). As such, I rest my case. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- I'll take a page from your own book: "What he said in that nom does not mean that it applies here too." Also, please read up on DYKAR D7 on how "an article—even a short one—that is to appear on the front page should appear to be complete and not some sort of work in progress," as well as how "[a]rticles that fail to deal adequately with the topic are also likely to be rejected." Furthermore, DYK rule 2d gives "selecting reviewers" (i.e. BlueMoonset and I) the right to reject "articles longer than 1,500 characters...as too short." That'll give you an idea of what we're talking about. —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:59, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- I really don't write reading essays, so please don't make me compose another rebuttal; going against OTHERCRAP for this one, I think what Yunshui said on the similar Chicken and Duck Blood Soup nom is relevant here. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 09:55, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Article is well below 1500 characters even with filler like "can be accompanied by alcoholic liquids like beer". This is simply not eligible for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:58, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
