Deletion of Native cuisine of Hawaii

Comment: Don't get me wrong, I think that there should probably be two articles, one of contemporary cuisine, and one of traditional (pre-contact is the correct term I think, but I don't know for sure).  The problem is this article is a complete disaster as-is, and I don't think it is Wikipedia:Blow it up and start over|salvageable.  The article is entirely copy-and-paste from other sources within Wikipedia (Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia|without the proper attribution), and if you doubt this, look at the citations.  For example ''Laudan 1996, p. 216.'', ''Nenes 2007, p. 478.'', where do they reference to? Why the reference to the entries at the bottom of in Cuisine of Hawaii, naturally. Or there is https://tools.wmflabs.org/dupdet/compare.php?url1=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCuisine_of_Hawaii&url2=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNative_cuisine_of_Hawaii&minwords=3&minchars=13&removequotations=&removenumbers= this duplication detector report. In fact this article could almost be |speedy deleted under A10 ('' Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic''), and is was on the borderline of G7 (''Author requests deletion''), in fact yesterday when the nominator Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Native Hawaiian cuisine|nominated his own article for deletion the first time, it probably was. If there is to be an article on the traditional, pre-contact cuisine of Hawaii, that is great, but this is the wrong way to go about it

Comment: WP:DRAFTIFY|Draftify''' into the draft namespace or '''|userfy''' into a sandbox until the article is ready for mainspace.  The article under discussion is a duplicate, |redundant fork of cuisine of Hawaii.  The majority of the content was copied wholesale, including the citations, from a section about Cuisine_of_Hawaii#Pre-contact_period|pre-contact Hawaii. If that material grows too large, it should be split out into a new article.  The sources use "Native cuisine" to specifically refer to Hawaiian food before 1778, a Polynesian, pre-contact diet.  Contrary to what the nominator has claimed, there is ''no'' debate on this, and more importantly, the nominator has no sources supporting such a debate.  If we were to write a new article about contemporary "Native Hawaiian cuisine" ''today'', how would it differ from the cuisine of Hawaii article?  The nominator proposes a |POV fork that isn't supported by the sources currently in use.  This is why I strongly recommend moving this fork into draft or user space for the nominator to work on.  Perhaps if he does the research, he will find actual sources on the topic, which would be great for Wikipedia.  The cuisine of Hawaii article follows the sources which describes five different food epochs, from the antecedents of 1) Ancient Hawaiian food, to the arrival of 2) European, American, missionary, and whaler cuisine, to the introduction of 3) ethnic food by plantation immigrants, to the development of 4) local food by regional communities on different islands, to the creation of 5) Hawaii Regional Cuisine by chefs and restaurateurs. One of these epochs refers solely to "Native Hawaiian cuisine", whereas the four subsequent eras combine into different types of cuisine. As for what "contemporary" Native Hawaiians eat, they will of course, draw upon 1, but are more likely to eat regularly from 2, 3, and 4, making the general "cuisine of Hawaii" parent article more relevant in the contemporary era.  As a Hawaii resident and Wikipedian who writes about Hawaii, I would very much like for there to be more content about Native Hawaiians.  But we have to actually read the sources and write from them; we can't make stuff up and copy and paste from one article to the next simply because we have a strong POV.  The sources are clear that the "Native cuisine of Hawaii" refers to the ancient, traditional diet of pre-contact Hawaiians.  To write about what Native Hawaiians eat today, one would first have to find those sources.  Since the current article does not accurately reflect the scope and focus that is intended, it should not remain in mainspace
