replies: text: Agree  When I grew up in Bergen county (definitely North Jersey) the school lunch frequently featured "Taylor Ham" and nobody called it pork roll.  In Philly, where I live now, it's always "pork roll".  At the supermarket, the generic products are always "pork roll", but Taylor brand is always available and sometimes Trenton brand too.   The first rule of WP:NAME is to Use the most easily recognized name, which seems to be pork roll.   WP:NAME provides no further guidance that I can tell.  I do think we ought to default to the generic name is a situation like this where it may not be entirely clear which is most widely used.  That being said... The article would need a minor rewrite to make sense under the new name. -- Austin Murphy (talk) 18:51, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've done the rewrite, added a photo to show that even Taylor calls it pork roll, and added a reference as to why Taylor calls it pork roll.  It's ready to be moved, but needs admin help. -- Austin Murphy (talk) 18:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually you have the power to rename and redirect pages.  Here is how to rename the page correctly.  It probably also makes sense after renaming to create a new Taylor Ham page that redirects to Pork Roll.  Information on setting up a redirect.  Give it a try if you want!

replies: text:  I've moved pages before, but in this case the destination page has a history with more than one edit due to a misspelling.  I tried it.  If you can do the move, please do!  Moving will create the redirect automatically.  Apparently the admins are waiting 5 days for a discussion.  -- Austin Murphy (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

text: can this conversation be revisited? Consensus on this move seems to only include two signed users. The first citation on this page used for support of the name directs to an expired webpage, and credible sources can be found for support of Taylor Ham as the proper title (see New York Times article) -- BrosefStalin 21:21, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 

message: I added that tag, as well as the "dubious" tag because the information is tedious at best.  I don't know how one would go about citing such specific claims, and why anyone would care.  Also, the one sentence about some guy in Jersey and his alleged renown with lunch meat is cause for concern.  As the person sounds living, we need to worry about slander.  One could argue the statement is merely a sort of advertising, and should be removed accordingly.  On the other hand, it could be slanderous.  Saying a guy is renowned for his sausage skills is just a bit suggestive.  My mind can't be the only one in the gutter after reading that.  So at least, we need a lot of cleanup.  Also, if this article gets integrated into the "pork roll" article, it's fine with me.  Taylor ham is a Philly/Jersey specialty, and most people around here ask for it by name.  It warrants a mention in the "pork roll" article anyway, so why not merge them?72.92.19.123 (talk) 05:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is filled with some spam in addition to pork roll. The preparation section just randomly turns into an advertisement for a pork roll festival:
Trenton, New Jersey held its Inaugural Trenton Pork Roll Festival on May 24, 2014 produced by Scott A. Miller, Pork Roll Productions LLC DBA The Pork Roll Festival.

message: There are a bunch of sources that are bad, here.
There's dead hyperlink to an anonymous posting on a WWW forum.
There's a "Sausage King" history that doesn't support what the text in the article says.
There's an anonymous and not fact checked self-submitted post to a food company's comments page.
I think that some of the affected content can be re-sourced to some of the better sources, like the Genovese and Edelstein ones, and the Susan Sprague Yeske book, which are fairly lengthy and might have these details, so I haven't zapped it.
