Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Native cuisine of Hawaii
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
