message: Why does it contain the words "world's favourite pudding" in the article?  Where is that claim from?  It doesn't seem to be on the mentioned blue plaque so presumably it's a serious claim made by the authors of the wiki article.
I believe it should be removed unless it can be substantiated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ozzage (talk • contribs) 14:05, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I accidentally pressed enter.  What I wanted to say is:
The reference cites "who ... shared their favourite comfort food recipes with the local restaurateurs who catered to them.".  This could be any number of comfort foods.  Banoffee pie might not be one of them.Curb Chain (talk) 06:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. Do we know what the source actually says? --McGeddon (talk) 10:13, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a nonsensical question to force people to prove a negative.  That said, appropriate tagging and then review of the source is a good idea.  Is it on Google books?  Montanabw(talk) 19:49, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a nonsensical action to add anything and provide a source and tag it, all for posterity.Curb Chain (talk) 02:48, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

text: I've traced the section to here where the concept was first introductedintroduced; the section was written in this edit but has undergone several revisions since that edit.  I am removing the section if no actual truthful reference proves the information in the section.Curb Chain (talk) 02:55, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The source may be "actual truthful," for all we know, the problem is that the link sourced at the time no longer appears to contain the necessary information. The book may very well source the material stated, just because it's got no URL doesn't mean it is not verifiable.   I suggest that this is an interesting cultural tidbit and worth digging a bit to see if it can be salvaged in some form.  It is best to make a sincere attempt to verify information before just deleting it. I'll put on an appropriate tag and then let's give those who care a few days to see if something comes up to verify it. Montanabw(talk) 20:54, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the section is as spectacular as chinese food onin north america, I am removing the section per a violation of WP:NPOV as before.Curb Chain (talk) 23:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no "NPOV violation" here, it's simply your opinion that the material is irrelevant.  That in itself is a POV.  It is my view that it's interesting that one particular dish seems popular in an unexpected region.  But frankly, I don't really care all that much, so I'm going to revert your deletion of sourced material and then you can just do whatever you want and I will continue to do as I see fit.

replies: text: Your opinion is subjective, as much as mexican food is unusual, but intersting, in canada.Curb Chain (talk) 20:30, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As is yours.  Please look in the mirror before commenting further in that vein. An ethnic cuisine arriving with a large immigrant population is one thing, a single ethnic food arriving in an unusual part of the world due to a unique phenomena is another.

replies: text: "unique phenomena" = subjective.  "unsual" = subjective.  I am removing the commented out part.  It will probably never be sourced and including it is trivial.Curb Chain (talk) 22:22, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
